JAZZ AND SOUL EVENING Wednesday night was a superb night of jazz, funk and soul as students from all year levels took to the stage to perform at Avondale College's annual Jazz & Soul concert. The solid foundations being laid through our junior Jazz Academy programme was evident as the students performed confident renditions of jazz standards Watermelon Man, Blue Bossa and Moon Dance. Our students continued to shine with the Blue Note Combo and Junior Jazz Combo playing some superb renditions of standards that showcased different jazz styles, including one of Stevie Wonder's most popular and well loved tunes, Don't You Worry' bout a Thing. One of the highlights of the evening was The Pacific Voices trio who gave the audience a superb musical treat with their a capella rendition of Total Praise. Our senior students also shone, with our Year 13 Music students showing a confident performance style, our Senior Jazz Combo impressing with their interpretations of three classic jazz pieces, and the Soul Band who had the audience grooving along with Pharrell Williams's Happy and Bruno Mars's Uptown Funk.
