JAZZ, POP, SOUL, and R&B influence the gospel music of Vancouver’s Marcus Mosely Chorale, which is celebrating Black History Month with its 10th annual Stayed On Freedom concert.
Mosely, of the Sojourners, is a BC Entertainment Hall of Fame inductee hailing from the Texas panhandle who’s well known for his stage roles in Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Show Boat and who wrote and directed It’s Time to Sing for the Arts Club Theatre.
Joining him on the creative team of the MMC, which has some 60-plus members, are pianist, performer, and teacher Bill Sample—Stayed on Freedom’s musical director who has worked with David Foster, Bryan Adams, and Celine Dion, among many others—and Darlene Cooper, singer, songwriter, arranger, and educator who has sung with luminaries like Leon Bibb, Shari Ulrich, Dee Daniels, and Jane Mortifee.
