The Addison Singers Jazz Autumn Concert

Let Addison Singer’s Jazz Choirs take you on a musical journey from Spirituals, early Jazz and Gospel to recent hits.

Compare the spirituals Precious Lord Take my Hand and Soon and Very Soon to the modern hit Rise Up. Hear the Gospel/Spiritual influence in songs Lean on Me and We Shall Overcome. Stuff Like That There has the lilting beat belonging to Boogie Woogie and The Jitterbug performed in the Wizard of Oz, a distinct Ragtime influence.

Trace the harmonies and arrangements of Swing-feel songs Old Devil Moon and I'm Walking to songs played by the big bands of the 30s and 40s.

Whatever their lineage, these songs and more, will uplift your soul and set your toes a-tapping. Join us in this joyous celebration designed to entertain the whole family. The 50 strong women's Jazz Choir and auditioned mixed voice Ensemble are accompanied by a terrific band of talented musicians. Let the Spirit of Jazz move you.
