Jazz at Adams Elementary 6/12/6
Students of Adams Elementary enjoyed an afternoon of Jazz on Monday, June 12, 2006 with the Chuck Walker Trio. A discussion of jazz history accompanied an hour performance, demonstrating different types of jazz rhythms. Sounds of Swing, Funk, Afro-Cuban, and Bossa Nova filled the auditorium as students listened to the compositions of pianist, Thelonious Monk, saxophonist, Sonny Rollins, and Brazilian composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Students got the opportunity to see the instruments up close, ask questions, and learn more about them. A few lucky students got a chance to play Fenimore's drums and Chuck's guitar.
