KIPP ACADEMY YOUTH SING AND SWING JAZZ IN "JAZZ IS A RAINBOW"
A unique ensemble of students from KIPP Academy in Lynn, MA will devote
their school vacation week in intensive rehearsals, singing and dancing
to the music of "the Great American Jazz Songbook." Under the musical
direction of international cabaret and jazz musicians, Lynne Jackson
& Mike Palter and the artistic direction of Robb Dimmick, the children
- along with acclaimed gospel and jazz vocalist, Doreen Murray - will
explore the skills and traditions of scatting, jazz phrasing, history
and choreography.
The show, "Jazz is a Rainbow," featuring an original script, traces
the contributions of African-American composers and singers to the canon
of American jazz. The production, showcasing an outstanding jazz quartet
including Jeff Stout and David Murray, was conceived by Dimmick and
written by Jackson & Palter.
Performances are Wednesday, November 30th at 7:00 pm, Friday, December
2nd at 3:00 pm & 7:00 pm at KIPP ACADEMY (25 Bessom Street, Lynn, MA)
and Sunday, December 4th, 3:00 pm at COHEN HILLEL ACADEMY (6 Academy
Road, Marblehead, MA). All performances are open to the public. A special
ticket price of $3 for adults; children 13 and under admitted free of
charge. For further details call 781-598-1609 or 978-526-8620.
The "Jazz is a Rainbow" project, supported by the New
England Foundation for the Arts, Lynn Investing in Neighborhoods Corp.,
the Mabel Mercer Foundation, KIPP Academy, the Cohen Hillel Academy
and private donors, has been described as "life changing" by audiences,
young and old, in Rhode Island. The Lynn show will be the debut performance
