162 One of the Award-winning groups to emerge from McGavock’s outstanding music department is the Jazz-Rock En- semble, composed of nineteen singers and fourteen instrumentalists. This unique ensemble is directed by Mrs. Bob- by Frost, one of the most accomplished musicians in Nashville. Mrs. Frost also arranges all the Jazz-Rock’s musical se- lections for concerts and an album re- corded every year. The Jazz-Rock Ensemble presents two public concerts each year in addition to performing at neighboring high schools, conventions, and in festivals around the country. In the past, the ensemble has performed in Mexico, Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia — win- ning several gold medals in competition. Jazz-Rock is designed to entertain ev- eryone and play styles from Barbara Streisand, to Chicago, to Duke Ellington. There’s a perfect blend of Jazz, Easy Rock, Nostalgia, and sometimes even a touch of comedy. A performance by the ensemble consists of singing, dancing, the movement and exciting tones of brass and winds, and energetic rhythms. All this, highlighted by dazzling lights, creates a fabulous evening for both audience and performers. by Michelle Gossett INSTRUMENTALISTS: Row 1: Jeff Beckman, Chris Crockerall, Mike Musgrove, Ann Newkirk, Tim Heath, Dawn Wright, David Gaines, Jeff Wil- liams.
