JAZZ MUSIC with The Odd Couple
2-DAY MUSIC WORKSHOP &
CONCERT AGE 7-12
This fine trio is a great addition to any workshop,
providing children with an entertaining and musically stimulating 1-2 hour
workshop. Informal and fun, the trio members talk about improvisation, their
instruments, play rhythm games and perform several tunes such as Dave Brubeck’s
“Unsquare Dance”, tunes from “The Jungle Book” and “The Simpsons” interactively
with the class. Cue the drum solo….
The multi-talented, all-instrumental
trio, an intriguing mix of sad old rock star wannabees and hunky young GAA
Connacht champs, have been fine-tuning their set for about a year, giving new
life to tired old TV Themes and jazz standards, mixing lounge, blues, even
adding a touch of sassy pop and dance; to the mix. The trio performs nifty
arrangements of the most memorable tunes ever written, such as “Bohemian
Rhapsody”, “Riverdance”, “The Simpsons”, themes from "I Dream of Genie", "Mash",
“Taxi”, “Hill Street Blues” and "The Odd Couple", alongside some novel
renditions of Outkast, Amy Winehouse, Beatles and jazz classics. They feel they
are ready for the world, but is the world ready for them?
The Odd Couple
are Kieran Quinn, piano Eddie Lee, double bass, Ken McDonald,
drums.
