The TFC Jazz Band Concert, under the direction of TFC professor Wm. David Stufft, will perform April 1 at 7:30 PM in Grace Auditorium. The concert will last one hour and will include a wide variety of jazz and pop selections plus a variety of excellent soloists including professional saxophonist, Mr. David Fry.
David, a native of the Toccoa area, has played professionally in this region for many years. He will be playing one of the classic alto saxophone solos entitled “Harlem Nocturne,” plus a number of other pieces like “My Funny Valentine,” “My Foolish Heart”.
David will also join the saxophone section of the band for a number of pieces such as Chuck Mangione’s “Land of Make Believe,” and Sting’s “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.” On many of the band pieces David will play short, improvised jazz solos at some point in the song.
David will also be featured on an up-tempo tenor sax duet with TFC alumni Mitch Mauthe. Fry and Mauthe will join forces to perform Howard Rowe’s new pop/jazz composition entitled “Fast Forward.”
The concert will also feature a number of College vocal soloists who will join the jazz band for hits such as Norah Jones’ “Don’t Know Why” sung by Jaclin Newman, Gershwin’s “They Can’t take that Away From Me” featuring vocalist Anna Marie Taylor, “My Funny Valentine” with solo vocalist India Ward and a great Latin Jazz piece from the Disney movie the Jungle Book entitled “I Wanna’ Be Like You,” featuring B. J. Miller on vocals and various members of the band on improvised solos.
