Libraries Rock: Jazz for Kids
Get jazzed about Jazz at this interactive concert especially for kids and their families! The Bright Moments Quintet is dedicated to reaching the next generation of Jazz listeners through integration, improvisation, and education. Musicians are saxophonist Bill Burns, pianist Pat Kelly, bassist Christian Berg, drummer Jim Leslie and featured vocalist Felita Larock.
Bill Burns is founder and leader of the Bright Moments Jazz Quintet. He is an active jazz educator and performer, and has been referred to by the Dayton Daily News as “the biggest, baddest, baritone sax player to play her in a long time.” As an educator, Bill has been on faculty with the Miami Valley Jazz Camp since 1996. In 2005, Bill was nominated for the Harry T. Wilkes outstanding educator award while teaching in Hamilton City Schools . He currently teaches General Music and Jazz Ensemble in Centerville City Schools and serves as adjunct professor at Sinclair Community College.
“Libraries Rock” is more than just the slogan for the Dayton Metro Library’s Summer Challenge reading program – it also describes the Main Library during a series of free, live concerts for kids and teens this summer.
