Norman Tufts, however, has found that religion and rhythm can go hand-in-hand to make a church service more meaningful. Tufts, a resident of Southcou Pines in Grand Bend, has joined to- , gather his faithful membership to the United Church and his profes- sional work as a jazz composer for many top bands in the United States and Canada, to introduce jazz liturgies to the church. One of these liturgies, based on the parable of the prodigal son, will replace the regular outdoor service at Grand Bend United Church this Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and Tufts has written all the music. The Jazz Liturgy is generally' a regular service with a jazz introit. -a jazz tune for the children's time and the sermon is broken up mtu four segments which each include a scripture, meditation and Tuffs musical interpretation of a well- known parable. Tufts says in writing his musical interpretation he attempted to "en- hance the scripture with music" thus making the enure service more memorable for the congregation. "1 try to make the church service more meaningful. Many people .have told me after they'd experi- enced la jazz hturgyl the story was a lot more meaningful to them," ex- plains the 59 -year-old composer, arranger and lyricist. This -is -the -third time this huff has taken place. The first one was held at Tuft's church when he resid- ed in Hamilton, Olivet United Church and once in Grand Bend in 1985. As well, a liturgy based on the parable of the Good Samaritan has been performed in Hamilton and another entitled "The Journey" was pan of the First Christian Festival in Ottawa in 1982 which brought• together 17 Christian denomina- tions. Both have been televised on CBC TV's "Meeting Place" and the new Vision TV network. His works arc unique to Canada mainly because of this country's lack of composers, says Tufts and although he admits to introducing the jazz liturgy to the Canadian church, he is quick to point out that jazz found its roots in the church hundreds of years ago. J.S. Bach used many jazz chords in his church works and the infa- mous Duke Ellington interpreted his own liturgical peices for a Pres- byterian Church in New York in the 1960s says Tufts. "Duke simply interpreted differ- ent things in the Bible and based his liturgy on this." says Tufts, while he says he found the parable., leant themselves well to the musi- cal service. Many other talented and success- ful Canadian jazz entertainers arc integral parts in creating Sunday's sequel. The composition has been arranged by Rick Wilkins who Tufts describes as "one of Canada's greatest arrangers" and who has ar- ranged most of Tufts tunes for big bands and orchestras. Performing the musical pieces on Sunday is the Johnny Bond Sextet and singer Leona Seller is being featured for the vocal numbers. Tufts is extremely pleased to have Seller performing as he says. "this requires a particular kind of vocalist Some singers diction isn't very good and that is important here." The hturgist, Dr. Ron Harris, will read the present the meditation for each of the four themes for the par- able. Tufts' vast experience in the jazz music industry has allowed him to work with and become closely ac- quainted with such master musi- cian's. composers and arrangers as Neil McKay, Johnny Downs, The Washingtons, fan MacPtlearson, Les Brown and Mike Vax. But. it is the late George Wil- liams, 'outer legendary arranger for Glenn Miller. Ray Anthony. Count Basic and Jackie Gleason. with whorls Tufts is must proud to have not only composed for but also iecumc a true friend of. The MUSIC for Sunday's Introitwas wnt- • ten in memory of Williatus who died) m 1988. Ls, who began playing the tromtwnc when he was 12 years - old and composing at age 21. has also had a career as a teacher and was employed with Ford Motor Company for ahnust 30 years In the fall, lie will be teaching two night classes at Lainbtun (al lege in Sarnia: Jazz appreciauun and composition.

Realtor looking to expand GRAND BEND - A realtor is attempting to expand his budding but um order to do so, is proposing to either lease or buy a corner property owned by the village. "We have a problem with lack of space for OK Realty. Wc have to tend a new home," said Mel Geiser who presented two options to village .oun Cil during their meeting Monday night. He suggested to either buy the property which is on the cunicr oI 8I Crescent and Highway 81 or lease it for 10 years. There is an ln(oma:ion building on the property which houses the Grand Bend and Area Chambor of Commerce and the License Bureau of- fice. "Wc own the property but it's used by rho Chamber," said deputy -mayor Cam ivesy. "Have you talked to them? You have to have some idea of what the Chamber wants." Councillor Bill Unix: said Gaiser's proposal could not have conic at a better time because he said the Information budding days arc numbered. Mayor Tom Lawson said council has not had the property assessed but .that administrator Paul Turnbull would be -looking into it. "The price of the property doesn't matter. It's the long term deal we're concerned about," said cxundllor Phil Maguire.
