A graduate of RJC in 2005, Elise Epp has been studying voice at the University of Saskatchewan and performing with her own jazz quartet - the Elise Epp Quartet. On May 24, Elise and her quartet (Soren Nissen on bass, Brett Balon on piano, and '04 RJC alumnus David Swab on drums) performed at the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern. The quartet performed a set of jazz standards and originals composed by Elise. A nice moment occurred when Elise gave a shout out to RJC and her Chorale experience when she performed "Deep River" - a piece she sang while in Chorale, though tonight's version was much updated and adapted.
Opening the concert was vocalist Leah Klaassen (RJC Grad '04) accompanied by David Swab on guitar and Philip Klaassen ('07) on bass. Leah joined Elise for one song during the main set.
