SMHS Jazz Band

by Gina Graham
April 26, 2024

The San Marcos High School Jazz Band is composed of 26 students between grades 9 and 12. Many of them started playing their instruments or were first exposed to Jazz here at San Marcos! We have a rich history of making amazing music and this year is a special one for us. Having won the Dos Pueblos Jazz Festival, we took our ensemble to Chicago! This was the first time performing in Chicago and it went so well! We received a GOLD rating, took First Place, won the Spirit Award (only one group who best represents the values of the company wins), the Adjudicator Award (have to score about 92, only us and another group received it), the Ovation Award to Joshlin Santos (every school nominates a student and only one wins), Soloist Awards to Eliel Pozos and Lucas Carrara (only three total handed out), and to top it off a perfect 100 score from one judge (very very rare) with an average of over 97. We appreciate all your support and are still trying to raise funds to finish paying our expenses. If you want to donate more please contact Mr. Kiyoi via email, mkiyoi@sbunified.org. Thank you!

Musselwhite and Bishop

by Josh James
April 16, 2024

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Elvin Bishop and GRAMMY® Award-winning harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite are fellow blues travelers and living blues giants. The two history-making musicians – both Blues Hall of Famers – have over 100 years of professional musicianship between them. Their 2020 album, 100 Years of Blues on Alligator Records, is blues at its deepest, warmest and most engaging.

Although they’ve known each other since the early 60s, this was the first time they ever teamed up to make an album together. Their subtle, soulful musicianship and relaxed, conversational vocals fuel every song. Infused with their deep understanding of the blues tradition and the good-time spirit these two old pals stir up, 100 Years of Blues is one of the finest, most memorable recordings of either artist’s career.

Cat Power 2024

by Josh James
April 15, 2024

The artist, otherwise known as Chan Marshall, delivers a song-for-song recreation of one of the most fabled and transformative live sets of all time. The original performance saw Bob Dylan switching from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing ire from an audience of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock-and-roll. Marshall’s spellbinding performance both lovingly honors her hero’s imprint on history and brings a stunning new vitality to many of his most revered songs.

Quotes:

“Cat Power makes Dylan’s legendary Albert Hall gig her own… A successful, rather touching interpretation of one of the most famous concerts in rock history.” – The Times (London) (4 stars)

“Brilliant.” – Vogue

Justin Hayward

April 4, 2024

Known principally as the vocalist, lead guitarist, and composer for The Moody Blues, Justin Hayward is an enduring talent that has helped to define the times in which he worked. Possessing one of the most distinctive voices in rock music, Justin penned classics like “Nights in White Satin,” “Question,” and “Your Wildest Dreams,” among many other well-known hits.

Over the last five and a half decades, the band has sold upwards of 55 million albums and, along with Justin as a solo artist and writer, received numerous awards. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, whilst Justin was personally honored in 2022 with an OBE.

His latest release was the “Living for Love” single released in 2022 through BMG. Justin spent much of 2023 on the road – with solo tours, the ‘On The Blue’ cruise, and also a sell-out tour co-headlining in the USA with multi-GRAMMY® Award-winner Christopher Cross. 2024 will see Justin back on the road with some UK and USA dates as part of the Justin Hayward ‘Blue World’ Tour.
