(Melvin
Peters)
The Denis Hurley Centre will host a retro
summer afternoon jazz concert and olde-style “Tea Dance” to be held at the
Durban Jewish Club on February 16 in the company of maestro Melvin Peters and
friends.
Pianist, organist, jazz aficionado,
teacher, performer, concert producer and musical director of St Paul’s Anglican
church, Melvin Peters is one of the city’s most enduring musical personalities.
He has devised a play-list of some jazz standards and great tunes which explore
the theme of love, and a few which will take the audience down memory lane!
Featured in the band are several well-known
Durban-based jazz musicians: Jeff Robinson on sax, Bruce Baker on drums,
vocalist Debbie Mari and jazz veteran Elias Ngidi.
The afternoon will also honour Monsignor
Paul Nadal who celebrates 60 years as a priest. He was a close friend and
co-worker of Archbishop Hurley and has been an untiring fundraiser for the
Denis Hurley Centre.
The jazz concert takes place at 15h00 on
February 16 at the Durban Jewish Centre.
Tea and coffee will be served (for free) by
the deaf young adults from Face2Face, the DHC’s skills development project.
They will also be selling home-made cakes, muffins and popcorn. Guests are
welcome to bring picnic baskets.
