Popular tunes highlight Tuesday’s “Jazz Night” Concert
Popular songs, including “Make Someone Happy,” “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” Beyond the Sea,” “Caravan,” and “Just Scratchin’ the Surface,” will be performed at Casper College’s “Jazz Night” Concert on Tuesday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. in the Wheeler Concert Hall.
The music, both classic and new, will have toes tapping as each group performs its selections. Some of the more recent titles to be performed include 2014’s “Uptown Funk,” three tunes from Ben Markley — 2016’s “Dance of the West,” and two recently composed pieces from 2023, “Sun on the Snow” and “Night on the Mountain.” Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from the Walt Disney film “Encanto” will also be played.
Members of the Casper College Contemporary Singers, under the direction of Zachary Vreeman, DMA, include Danica Boyce, Caroline Weiss, Madison Billings, Kevin Kaske, Jeremy Rich, and Cole Cooper.
