Jazzification will see the musicians perform songs such as Bourrée by Bach, Norwegian Wood by The Beatles, Light My Fire by The Doors, Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland, Rolling In The Deep by Adele, and songs by Michael Jackson and Led Zeppelin. The event is an initiative by the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) and Jazz Addicts (an association of serious Jazz enthusiasts) to promote Jazz to an audience that is unfamiliar with the genre.
