LOWVILLE COMMUNITY JAZZ ENSEMBLE TO PERFORM AT
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
On Wednesday,
August 26 at 7:00 PM the not so historic but still amazing Lowville Jazz
Orchestra will present a free concert at the Lewis County Historical
Society on State Street in Lowville.
Music to be
performed includes several styles and time periods of music. Pop
tunes that will be performed include a trio of songs from the classic band
Chicago. Their hits “Make Me Smile”, “Does Anyone Really Know What
Time It is?”, and “25 or 6 to 4” are a challenge but the band really enjoys
bringing them to life. Other pop songs include Bobby Darin’s 1959 hit
“Beyond the Sea”, the Kingsman classic “Louie ,
Louie” and “ Gonna Fly
Now” from the “Rocky” motion picture. Ballads to be performed include
“Traces” by Classics IV, Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and
Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World”. Finally
songs in the style of the big band era of the 1940’s include
Duke Ellington’s “Caravan”, “When Big
Bands Ruled the Earth” and a percussion feature called “Hey Pachuco”.
The Village Jazz
Orchestra includes many members from the Lowville Lowville
Village Band Including village band conductors AJ Mccall
and Kelly Kilcer. Kelly performs on alto saxophone while AJ McCall
conducts this ensemble. Other members of the ensemble include
Saxophones: Jason Gibson, Tamara Fidler, Kelly Kilcer, Carmen Miller,
Karissa Widrick, and Zoey Riches. The trumpet section includes Jeff
Miller, Paul Buell, John Hastwell IV, and Jennifer Keefer. On
trombone, Mile Muller, Matt McGrath, Graze Metzler, Hailey Babcock, and
Dina Olmstead. Rounding out the group includes Ralph Vito on Bass
Guitar, Hugo Zabielowicz on Guitar, Leon Austin on piano, and Matt McGrath
and John Dixon on Drum Set.
This will most
likely be the last concert of the Lowville Jazz Orchestra as they go on a
fall break and regroup for the annual Community Christmas Concert. We hope
to see you at the Lewis County Historical Society on August 26! A great
evening of live entertainment by local musicians and its
free!
