PROM NIGHT PROMISES
MUSICAL FEAST
Those attending the Prom Night are in for a musical treat from SOUL TRADERS, a band that brings together some of Hong Kong’s premier musicians.The band is led by DC parent and award winning sax player Jon Rebbeck. Now a pilot with Dragonair, Jon’s professional musical career was varied and included TV, radio sessions for the BBC, saxophonist in the Halle Orchestra and Apollo Saxophone Quartet with whom he won the 1992 Tokyo International Chamber Music Competition. The band also features versitile woodwind player Janet Rebbeck(saxophone and flute), ex-touring/ session keyboard virtuoso Vladimir Mikic, Japanese Bass ace Koya Hisakazu and soulful vocalist and DB resident Vicky Lawrence. The multi talented Edgar Caole on percussion joins top Hong Kong session musicians Casi Balu (Guitar) and Melchoir Sarreal. Soul Traders is defined by its repertoire; an eclectic fusion of
SOUL,
LATIN, R&B and JAZZ from timeless classics of the 70’s, 80’s and
90’s to original compositions and interpretations of songs by
contemporary artists. “The collective musical thoughts, absorbing of
our cross-cultural influences and disciplines makes Soul Traders a
creative vehicle” says Jon “we have a responsibility to our audience by
ensuring our music has resonance for everyone. We perform mix of
‘covers’ with our own interpretations of songs and with the quality of
musicians in the band we continue to push the artistic boundaries of
performance”. Soul Traders will perform songs by Elton John, Gloria
Estefan,Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Sting and many more...
