MSC Town Hall hosted another Lunchbox Concert on Thursday, November 13th on Rudder Plaza. The Jonathan Scales Fourchestra from Asheville, North Carolina, self-described as a "steel pan jazz fusion power trio for the modern ear," played an hour-long set that featured Scales' skill as a composer and on the steel pan. Phill Bronson laid down a polyrhythmic groove on percussion, and Cody Wright's melodic bass playing showed evidence of his roots as a fusion guitarist. The band invited students onstage during the performance, and gave them a chance to hear and see the steel pan within a different musical context than the Caribbean music with which it is most often associated.
