Aug 3 Lorentz Quartet 7 pm
Tickets on sale at nhisom.org
Jonathan Lorentz and guests perform on August 3 at 7 pm. The Jonathan Lorentz Quartet is comprised of long-standing jazz cohorts who have performed together for 20 years.
Fanfare Magazine's Lynn René Bayley said, "(Saxaphonist) Jonathan Lorentz has really got it: a great style, an explorative mind, and a concept that goes beyond the usual fare you hear from jazz groups." Lorentz performed and recorded with New Orleans’ own Delfeayo Marsalis, Jerry Sabatini’s Sonic Explorers, and jazz vocalist Teri Roiger.
The piano chair is held by Tom Robinson, a jazz stalwart who also performs on soprano saxophone. Robinson tours frequently throughout New England and has been a featured artist at the Catamount Arts Center and Mountaintop Music Center. Bass guru John Hunter holds down bass lines for the Seacoast Big Band and Charlie Jennison group, and has accompanied Dizzy Gillespie, Slide Hampton, Clark Terry, and Jimmy Heath. Drum set specialist Tim Gilmore is known for performances with Tiger Okoshi, Giacomo Gates, and Tower of Power, and is an active clinician with Harry Skoler’s Adventures with Jazz.
Coordinated by Sandwich’s NH Independent School of Music, this concert helps fund ongoing programs at Mead Base. Tickets cost $15 and may be purchased online at www.nhisom.org. $5 outdoor tickets available at the door. Space is limited. BYOB.
