The Bakersfield College Jazz Ensemble held their annual fall concert Oct. 27 under the direction of Kris Tiner.
Students from BC and jazz musicians throughout the community came to play for the event that featured various rhythms of jazz, including Latin jazz, jazz fusion, traditional jazz, which uses walking bass lines, gospel and soul.
Tiner said he has been doing this particular ensemble for four years and really enjoys it.
"I just love the freedom to deal with difficult kinds of music and different kinds of approaches of music," Tiner said.
In order to be placed in the ensemble, students sign up and audition and begin practicing from the first day of school.
According to Tiner, the students are a part of Music B13 and they practice twice a week for two hours to make this ensemble possible.
Tiner said he teaches a wide variety of music because he thinks that it's important for students to get a wide range of styles.
The next jazz ensemble will be held in December and will feature jazz and Christmas music.
If you have any questions concerning the ensemble, contact Kris Tiner at 395-4240.
