![Eyes glued to his sheet music, senior Andrew Gillies accompanies the Jazz Band as the pianist. During the annual Winter Jazz Concert, Gillies was chosen to improvise a solo during the song, “T.J. Boogie.” ¨I love concerts [because of] how the audience reacts, and just the stage lights [shining on me],¨ Gillies said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/DSC_3774-1200x801.jpg)

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby/Stills/Nash.
Yeah, I know “breakup song” isn’t what most people think of for summery vibe but it’s so singable and upbeat that even Judy Collins herself loves it despite it being a breakup song aimed at her. Endlessly quotable and touches on everything from annoying everyone around you to fun bird references to singing in Spanish over a legendary vocal hook.
