Island Jazz presents a special concert featuring music made famous by TV shows over the decades. TV Music will be performed by the Charlottetown Jazz Ensemble and the Island Jazz Quartet, with vocalist Kelley Mooney and other special guests, on November 21 at 7:30 pm at the Florence Simmons Performance Hall in Charlottetown.
Music from TV shows has carved out a unique and beloved space in people’s memories. The deep connection audiences feel to soundtracks and theme songs from their favourite series stems from a potent blend of nostalgia and heightened storytelling. Iconic songs from shows watched over the years evoke powerful memories of shared viewing experiences, and for many listeners, the music is inseparable from their personal history and identity.
For this show, audiences will enjoy jazz arrangements of classic TV music from favourite shows including Spiderman, The Simpsons, Mission: Impossible, M Squad, MASH*, Sanford & Son, Gilmore Girls, The Golden Girls, Get Smart, WKRP, The Odd Couple, Mary Tyler Moore, Three’s Company, Cheers, and more.
Formed in 1996, the Charlottetown Jazz Ensemble is celebrating its 30th anniversary this season. The band features Island musicians with a wide range of backgrounds, from gifted students to seasoned professionals.
Since 2013, Island Jazz has championed live improvisation across genres. For ten seasons, it has presented weekly shows at Baba’s Lounge featuring top musicians performing original music, jazz standards, pop hits, and more. In 2022, it partnered with Roving Picture Shows to create live improvised soundtracks for silent films.
The TV Music concert is an all-ages event with bar service available. Music starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the door or in advance via Ticketpro.
