Last Week’s Question: What was the most memorable Jazz show you have seen and what made it so special?

Sharon & Dean
“The Forest Hills Jazz Festival, held on September 17, 1988, was special due to the amount of talent at one venue. The pre-concert performers were: Noel Pointer, Lonnie Liston Smith, Jon Hendricks & Co, and Roseanne Vitro. The headliners were: Stan Getz, Grover Washington Jr, Chuck Mangione, Gato Barbieri, Freddie Hubbard, and Angela Bofill. I remember the day was rainy, but that did not dampen the spirits of the audience or performers. What a great show for only $22.50! Unfortunately, some of these musicians are no longer with us, but will live on in their music.”

To Be, or Not … to Bop
By Dizzy Gillespie & Al Foster

“Just recently finished reading this great tome by Dizzy, as told to Al Fraser. Wish I’d read it while Diz was still here so I could have asked him about some of these experiences directly.” – Mark Morganelli, Executive Director, Jazz Forum Arts

As many of you have children or grandchildren and are looking for activities to do at home, we wanted to bring Jitterbugs: Jazz for Kids, our new kids program, to you at home as well! Here are a few ideas to keep yourself and the children musically busy.

Color the instruments!

Print this page of instruments to draw at home. Maybe it’ll spark a conversation about which is their favorite instrument, and why!

We tested the print-out on 2 1/2 year old Astrid, daughter of Isak Edblad, Jazz Forum Arts’ Digital Marketing Specialist. We can proudly confirm that it’s Astrid-approved!

PRINT THE PDF

Shake, shake, shake it!

Why not take it one step further: Build your own instruments! Watch this video with your kids and then do it yourself – guaranteed to make your whole family swing. Maybe try to shake your new instrument along to the tunes off Jazz Forum’s Mark Morganelli!
