SUU Jazz Ensemble performs Frank Sinatra and more
By Ashley H Pollock
The Southern Utah University Jazz Ensemble will perform a concert titled “Adventures in ‘Time’” Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Heritage Center Theater in Cedar City. Dr. Krystal McCoy, who serves as director of choral studies at SUU, will be a featured vocalist with the band. She will sing Frank Sinatra’s classic, “Fly Me to the Moon.”
“The pulse, or ‘time’ as it is sometimes referred to, is the heartbeat of jazz,” said Dr. Adam Lambert, director of bands. “This year’s jazz ensemble is prepared to make your heart race with their exciting energy, precision, and, performance that is right in ‘time.’ This music is sure to make you want to dance in the aisle. In addition to newer contemporary sounds, the concert program is also filled with familiar jazz classics, which will bring back ‘time’ gone by in the history of jazz.”
“Words speak to the mind, jazz speaks to the soul,” said Kaden Smith, junior communications major. “Every opportunity to hear jazz should be taken. Where else can you find 20 student musicians giving their heart to the music for the purpose of having a moment of connection with the audience? It becomes a special instance where souls can speak and be expressed and also where souls can be touched.”
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youth. SUU faculty, staff, and students are free with a valid ID card. Faculty and staff IDs are allowed one guest. Tickets can be purchased at the door the night of the concert or online at suu.edu/pva.
