Jazz Night at Why Sound Continues On Thursday January 15, Corey Christiansen will bring another exciting night of jazz music to Why Sound, continuing the increasingly popular series that brings world-class talent to this intimate, personal venue. Each concert in this series has focused on a different theme and style, bringing in and exploring the talent of new musicians for each show. This performance will introduce Logan to the vibrant Emily Merrell, a talented vocalist and composer from Salt Lake City. The musicians will blend classic and modern jazz works with improvisation and tight technique, creating an enjoyable experience for jazz newcomers and aficionados alike. This performance will also include some of Merrell’s original work, which can be previewed through her website: emilymerrell. Her voice is ethereal, capable of striking dramatic high and low notes and yet is also endowed with a smoky, polished, mellow tone. She excels at group singing, but visitors to the Why Sound venue will hear her stunning solo skills. With such a voice, it is no surprise that her Salt Lake-based vocal studio draws students of all ages and skill levels and her original albums and recorded songs win awards. In addition to possessing a talent for composition and beautiful voice, Merrell is a hard worker whose dedication to her craft has included study of everything from vocal physiology to jazz history to technique and improvisation. Merrill holds a Master’s of Music from the University of North Texas, and this hard-working musician uses her own skills and knowledge to educate others and to engage the public in live performances. Merrell’s visit to Why Sound will be a unique event: a chance to see Corey Christiansen’s intense talent on guitar meld with Merrell’s brilliant voice, blending into something altogether new and unexpected. Two performances will be held on January 15, one at 7:30 pm and one at 9 pm at the Why Sound venue, located at 30 Federal Avenue in downtown Logan.
