Natasha Mihell, program planner with Heart for Music B.C., organizer of the concert, explained “this is an event mainly to bring smiles and joy to these seniors and hard-working care home staff.”
As Mandy Rushton and Dane Warren sang “All of me,” it was clear most of their audience was familiar with the lyrics to the song, a jazz standard first published in 1931. and popularized by Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.
Mad Jazz, as the trio of Rushton, Warren and keyboardist “Jazz Cat” Aaron Pang are known, performed for more than 30 residents of the Langley Lodge seniors residence on Monday, Aug. 9 in the outdoor courtyard garden area of the building, with most audience members staying in the shade beneath a large fabric awning.
