The next program in the Taylor Community Music Series, sponsored by Bank of New Hampshire, is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 18 at 3 p.m. in Taylor’s Woodside Building, 435 Union Ave. The event is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required.

The concert features Dr. Sax’s Little Big Band, playing swing jazz classics made popular by the ensembles of Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington and the Dorsey Brothers. The event is generously being sponsored by Bonnie and James Doherty.

Band Leader Jonathan Lorentz (a staff big band arranger for Jazz Lines Publications) calls his band “vibrant, energetic and humorous” and adds “the band is comprised of some of the best professional musicians from around the state.”

Besides arranger Lorentz, who also plays Tenor Sax, other group members include: Charlie Jennison, Alto Sax; John Franzosa, Baritone Sax; Jimmy Clark and Russ Ryan, Trumpet; Mark Taddonio, Trombone; Paul Bourgelais, Guitar; Chris Mega, Piano; John Hunter, Bass and Tim Gilmore, Drums.
