Jazz at Sheridan College

The Arts at Sheridan College will present Jazz at Sheridan College on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. in Kinnison Hall at the Whitney Center for the Arts. 

The program will feature music by the SC Jazztet and the SC Jazz Ensemble.

Directed by Dr. Eric Richards, the program will feature swing, Latin, funk and more. The SC Jazztet will kick off the concert with music by Charlie Parker, and Freddie Hubbard. Richards told listeners of Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program that jazz requires improvisation. Not all students show up to the school at the same comfort level in regards to improvisation, but they have been working to give Sheridan a night of jazz to remember including the premiere of a work by a current Sheridan College student. 

The SC Jazz Ensemble will also play “Brass Machine” by Mark Taylor, featuring Tim Doolin on trumpet; “Celestial Swingin’ Blues” by Vince Norman; “Basie Straight Ahead” by Sammy Nestico; “Aurelia” by Myles Collins, featuring Juli Jarvis on piano; and “Cubano Chant” by Ray Bryant. 

This event is free and open to the public.
