It’s more than a jazz concert. It’s time with friends with guest vocalist Melissa Petrescue.
Jazz with Jim is an ongoing concert series at the Center hosted by Jim Burge (saxophone/flute/clarinet), Ron Delp (keyboard), Jeff Henson (drums), and Todd Jeferies (bass)—together, they are The Jazz Directions. Each concert is unique as The Jazz Directions share stories and some of their favorite musical selections appropriate for the evening’s theme.
Guest vocalist Melissa Petrescue is a professional artist, performer, and music director, born in Vancouver, Canada — and currently residing in the greater Tampa Bay area. Growing up in a musical family, Melissa began vocal and piano education at a young age, competing in both local and state-wide competitions, and continued her musical studies, as well as acting training through the years with several reputable teachers. Getting her start at Busch Gardens, Melissa performed in a variety of themed shows for several years, launching her into the entertainment industry, where she has submerged herself in a wide range of styles, from classical to musical theatre, jazz, and world music.
So, please sit back with a nice cup of coffee or soda while nibbling on some tasty treats and enjoy an evening with The Jazz Directions.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Jesus Christ – 20-35 – Tenor (A2–G5) – Title role, leader of the twelve disciples, called the “Son of God” and the “King of the Jews.” Jesus has a difficult time accepting his fate without answers on why he must die. This role requires an actor who can convey leadership, confusion, strength, vulnerability, and optimism simultaneously.
Judas Iscariot – 20-40 – Tenor (D3–D5) – One of the twelve apostles of Jesus; concerned for the poor and the consequences of Jesus’s fame. Judas believes in Jesus’s teaching but has started to grow weary of those in power coming after him and his followers. The role requires an actor who can convey frustration, yearning, weakness, dismay, and pessimism simultaneously.
Mary Magdalene 20-35 – Mezzo-Soprano (F3–E♭5) – A female follower of Jesus who finds herself falling in love with him. The role requires an actress who can show grace, stability, weakness, and compassion.
Pontius Pilate – 30-50 – Tenor (A2–B4) – Governor of Judea who foresees the events of Jesus’s crucifixion from beginning to aftermath in a dream and finds himself being presented with that very situation. The role requires an actor who can show authority, rage, fragility, and fear.
Caiaphas – 30-50 – Bass (C♯2–F4) – One of the main antagonists of the show. A high priest who sees Jesus as a threat to the nation. He is a man in power who fears losing that power to Jesus. This role requires an actor who can convey anger, power, and angst effectively.
Annas – 20-40 – Countertenor (G2–D5) – One of the main antagonists of the show. A fellow priest at the side of Caiaphas, whom Caiaphas persuades into seeing Jesus as a threat. Annas can seem more conniving than Caiaphas. This role requires an actor/actress who can show disgust, displeasure, and loathing.
Peter Simon – 20-40 – Baritone (A2–G4) – One of Jesus’s twelve apostles; denies Jesus three times on the night of Jesus’s arrest to save himself. Peter is obsessed with impatience. This role requires an actor who can show tenacity, worry, impatience, and regret.
Simon Zealotes – 20-30 – Tenor (G3–B4) – One of Jesus’s twelve apostles; urges Jesus to lead his followers into battle against the Romans. Simon believes that violence can solve all their problems. This role requires an actor who can convey energy, youthfulness, and animosity.
King Herod – Any Age- Baritone (C♯3–G4) – The King of Galilee; Jesus is brought to him for judgment after first being taken to Pilate. Herod is a comedic role. He starts very nonchalantly, and as his song progresses, he becomes more irritated when he doesn’t get his way.
Apostles – Male and Female – All ages – All Ranges – The Apostles will look as if from every walk of life. We will be casting both men and women as Apostles.
Ensemble – Male and Female – All Ages – All Ranges – The ensemble will play such roles as Prostitutes (both male and female), Buyers and Sellers in the temple, Lepers/Untouchables, Priests, Mob, Soul Sisters, and Herod’s Harem.
