Jazz is alive in South Florida and Jesse Jones Jr. is here to prove it. The Miami native is a saxophonist extraordinaire and continues to be on the forefront of a burgeoning jazz renaissance in South Florida.

Jesse Jones Jr. attended Mississippi Valley State University where he excelled in music, but his journey actually started in Miami where as a young kid he would listen to a neighbor practice his sax while playing along with Cannonball Adderley albums. “I loved that sound and knew right then I was going to be a musician for the rest of my life”. After college Jones joined the military and became a member of the US Navy Show Band. He traveled throughout North and South America where he was given the opportunity to develop his showmanship skills. Besides playing the sax, clarinet and flute, Jesse sang, tap dance and did comedy skits, and found that he had a natural gift for getting the crowd to become part of him. “I just love to perform and make people feel good and satisfied with what they’re hearing and seeing”. After serving out his four year term in the military, Jesse lived in Boston for a while, then back to his home town Miami, where he signed with Fantasy Records in 1996 and produced his first CD titled “Soul Serenade”. And most resently promotion his latest CD, released May 1, 2009, " The SO THEN Collection'. With this CD, you not only hear great music, but you can also taste the many sweet flavors coming from this wonderful musician/entertainer.*

Kendall Campus to host welcome-home celebration for former student and 'So You Think You Can Dance' runner-up on Friday

2009-08-14T15:53:00.002-04:00

Brandon Bryant, a former Miami Dade College dance student and season five runner-up on Fox Television’s “So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD), will return to Kendall Campus on Friday, Aug. 14, 2009, 10-11 a.m., in the McCarthy Auditorium, for a welcome-home celebration, question-and-answer segment and dance performance. The 19-year old Miami native will be introduced in ceremonious fashion by his former dance instructor and mentor Professor Michelle Grant-Murray, college officials, and others.

Bryant placed second behind Miami resident Jeanine Mason during the season-five finale of the popular televised dance show. A favorite of the judges throughout the competition, the experienced dancer remained confident yet humble moments before the final results were announced. "I did for a split second think that I could have a chance," said Bryant. "But I knew [Jeanine] was strong, and I knew that I was strong. This time was for her reach, not mine."

Bryant currently resides in Salt Lake City where he is a member of the professional dance company Odyssey Dance Theatre. He began dancing ballet at age 10, and has performed professionally ever since; including a stint with the College’s own Jubilation Dance Ensemble.

It was Bryant’s time at MDC -- attending classes, performing and choreographing for Jubilee, and mentoring other students -- that served as the perfect foundation for SYTYCD. “I enjoyed my time at MDC and it worked with my schedule because I was able to space out the time during the day,” Bryant said. “Being a part of the dance program here really helped me; and my instructor [Professor Grant-Murray] is the most amazing technician because of the different styles of dance she would bring in. It really opened my eyes to the world with international and spiritual dance styles.”

During the show’s taping, Bryant was surrounded by a bevy of local talent, including New World School of the Arts at MDC graduate Vitolio Jeune who made it to the Top 14 before being eliminated during week five of the competition.
