BC Halloween Jazz Concert
By Carmen Boone

The Brevard College Jazz Ensemble gave
a chillingly excellent performance at the jazz
concert Monday night. The Scott Concert Hall
was filled with students, adults, musicians,
community members and plenty of students
dressed for Halloween.
On stage were some pretty interesting char
acters, including Darth Vader, a cat, a couple
hippies, a smooth jazz performer (quite liter
ally), a skeleton and several others. This team
of characters, despite their differences in ap
pearance, put on a fantastic show.
Directed by Jamie C. Warren, 13 performers
soulfully delivered ten pieces of music. These
pieces were “Also Sprach Zarathustra” by
Richard Strauss, “Serpentine Fire” by Maurice
and Verdine White, “Children of Sanchez” by
Chuck Mangione, Theme from “Starsky and
Hutch” by Thomas W. Scott, “Pensativa” by
Claire Fischer, “Another Star” by Stevie Won
der, “Last Dance” by Paul Jabara, “I Like Your
Style” by Emilio Castilla and Stephen “Doc”
Kupka, “So Wonderful, So Marvelous,” and
“Soul with a capital‘S.’”
The performers were Chris Center on soprano
sax, Arianna Ruiz playing the flute and alto
sax, Chloe McGee on the baritone sax, Mary
Lewe playing the tenor sax, Stephen Healy on
the trombone, Ryan Burnette playing percus
sion, Jaylaan Prioleau and Raleigh Durham
on drums, Gryphen Blackwell on bass guitar.
Daniel Ethridge playing piano, guest artist
Daniel Keller on guitar, and Lily Bartleson
and K’nique Eichelberger as guest vocalists.
Chris Center and Mary Lewe were featured in
Fischer’s “Pensativa,” Lily Bartleson took the
stage with Jabara’s Last Dance, and K’nique
Eichelberger guest sang on “I Like Your Style,”
“So Wonderful,” “So Marvelous,” and “Soul
with a Capital ‘S’.”
The show promised to be outstanding and the
performances delivered on that promise. The
costumes, musie, spirit, energy, passion and
excitement surged through the concert hall as
the 13 performers rocked the audience into the
night. Bringing the house down with “Soul with
a capital ‘S’,” Eichelberger jazzed it up with
some dancing and got the audience involved
with some clapping.
A number of the concert attendees said, “They
killed that,” “That was amazing,” and that it was
a“fantastic concert.” The night was definitely a
success, entertaining the Brevard community
with good music, fellowship and fun.
Spooky, classy and fun costumes terrified the stage at Monday night’s Halloween themed jazz concert.
