TWU Jazz Night

The ever-popular Jazz Night, presented by Trinity Western University's School of Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC), returns on December 3 at 7:30pm. To kick off the evening, the new SAMC Jazz Quintet makes an encore appearance after their debut at the Township of Langley?s Until Everyone Comes Home. This fun, retro ensemble is gearing up to perform in SAMC?s swinging spring musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. Joining them onstage is songbird Charlotte Elgersma, the musical?s leading lady. Closing out the night is the SAMC Jazz Combo, directed by Tony Gallo. Their program encapsulates the music of the ?60s and early ?70s including artists such as Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard, and Herbie Hancock. Influences of jazz guitar greats Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt figure prominently as well.
