The N'harmonics is a local jazz group. They play songs like Fly Me To the Moon by Frank Sinatra and Soul Man by Sam and Dave. The group is originated and directed by Patrick Pjesky, a senior at Lake Michigan Catholic High School. The members include drummer Chris James, trombone player Patrick Pjesky, saxophonist Nicholas Pisarski, bassist Ellen Nightengale, trombone player Jake Range, trumpet player Annie McDougal, saxophonist John Golob, and trumpet player Zach Tuller. Some of the members are classmates, but the rest of them are from different schools from around here. Last year the group was first put together. They first premiered at the Gala Southwest Orchestra on New Years Eve.
Chris James said, "It was a great experience, and hopefully we will have more of those."
Their next "gig" will be at the Southwest Michigan auction in the Benton Harbor Airport. They will practice every week hoping to get better and improve their jazz playing. Jazz is a very hard genre of music to play. There is so much involved and so much music theory behind it; It takes a lot of work to get good at it.
My name is Andrew Buller and I’m a senior at Lakeshore High school. Most of all of my blogs that I’m going to write are going to be about music and everything that has to do with music at Lakeshore.
