The Chase to present live jazz music at �An Evening of Promise�


SIOUX CENTER � A few adjectives will come to mind as The Chase fills the room with live jazz music during �An Evening of Promise.�

The Chase will perform a collection of jazz tunes
during Promise Community Health Center's ninth
annual "An Evening of Promise" Celebration and
Fundraiser on Thursday, Nov. 2, at Terrace View
Event Center in Sioux Center.

Smooth, melodic, soulful.

The band will entertain the audience with the pleasing background music during the the social time as people arrive and the dinner hour of Promise Community Health Center�s ninth annual celebration and fundraiser on Thursday, Nov. 2, at Terrace View Event Center in Sioux Center. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

Michel Gomes, who plays bass, said The Chase, formerly known as AK-Squared, gets its name from �continually chasing after new styles of music and different sources of inspiration.�

�We are very excited to play at this event and look forward to being able to play for a new audience,� Gomes said. �We have been experimenting with a few different jazz genres and look forward to perform it.�

This talented group of musicians also consists of Ariel Gomes on electric guitar, Mark Brauning on drums, and Daniel Amin on piano. The Gomes brothers and Amin are students at Dordt College in Sioux Center, and Brauning graduated last year.

All of the members of the ensemble have played for many years in various bands before coming together to form The Chase.

A sampling of the tunes the audience will hear include �Autumn Leaves� and �So What� by Miles Davis, �Take Five� by Dave Brubeck, �Moanin�� by Art Blakey and �Wave� by Tom Jobim.

�Our style is mostly pop-jazz, urban-jazz, with strong influence from Bepop and 60s jazz,� Michel Gomes said.
