NOV. 5 to 20 performance of the afternoon, lending sounds unfamiliar to most people. It was an off-the-wall visual experience as well. It’s safe to say that watching someone contort their body to play a saxophone almost upside down into an open piano, isn’t an everyday sight.

Garvey returned to the piano, this time accompanied by Donna Hermans, vocally. The duet recreated Arthur Hamilton’s “Cry Me a River” to bring it all back to the blues. Hermans belted out the R&B classic while Garvey demonstrated his previously verified blues-piano skills.

Rounding off the concer was Curve. A Three piece band made up of Pierce students Robert Bryant, Sean Boute, and Gemi Akito Taylor. The trio performed their original R&B song, “Maybe Tomorrow” with Boute on guitar and vocals, AkitoTaylor on bass, and Bryant leading the vocals. Bryant’s emotional and powerful vocals reverberated off the walls of the concert hall to create a moving experience. Bryant’s animated facial and bodily expressions made his emotional connection to the music evident and even more powerful.

James Bergman, professor of music history, noted before the concert began that the student concerts bring in the most diverse audience of the concert series. If you missed this one, don’t beat yourself up, because a second one is taking place Dec. 3.
