Jazz concert to mark Pearl Music Days

The Parris Island Marine Corps Jazz Combo will present a free concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at Temple B’nai Shalom, 15 Fern Road, East Brunswick.

The event, which is part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days, is sponsored by the Daniel Pearl Education Center, East Brunswick.

The ensemble will perform music from all eras of recorded jazz, including favorites from Miles Davis and John Coltrane as well as original compositions and contemporary jazz.

Daniel Pearl World Music Days was created in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl at the hands of extremists in Karachi, Pakistan.

Pearl was a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community in which he lived. World Music Days aims to use the universal language of music to encourage fellowship across cultures and build a platform of “harmony for humanity,” according to a press release.

The Daniel Pearl Education Center is a nonprofit charitable organization committed to the ideals of understanding and community.
