Chicago native son, Hanah Jon Taylor
World-class saxophone/flutist and Chicago native son, Hanah Jon Taylor, travels to Germany for his Trio's performance on July 16. His unique and lyrical persona on flute, saxophone, and wind synthesizer has warranted him as a true innovator of the contemporary jazz idiom. He will perform pure improvisation on the saxophone, flute, and wind synthesizer, accompanied by Dan Casillas (guitar) from Chicago and Peter Vicent (double bass) from East Berlin. From Berlin, Taylor travels to Nimes, France, where he will perform in the "Jazz à Junas Festival". Taylor currently lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where he teaches Music History at the Madison Media Institute.
