posted on March 13: Jazz vocalist entertains at this year’s final Ladies of Jazz concert

The final concert in the Ladies of Jazz series takes place Friday, March 15. Jazz vocalist and international recording star Jeri Brown takes to the Convocation Hall stage at 8 p.m. Brown's latest CD, Image in the Mirror: The Triptych, actually transforms the singer into a bonafide actress. With songs by Milton Sealey, the disc takes the shape of a "fictional dramatic piece" in three acts plus introduction and epilogue, conceived and produced by Jeri Brown. Brown's songs from Image sketch the core journey of the work: a woman's growth through love to self-awareness. The concert will include selections from Brown's recording career with special features from 8 Justin Time and CBC recordings. Her repertoire includes jazz standards and Canadian composer jazz compositions with music such as I've Got Rhythm, Soft, As In A Morning Sunrise, Afro Blue, Tenderly and others. Tickets are $20 and available by calling the School of the Arts Box Office at ext. 23333 or the School of the Arts at ext. 27671. (End of story)
