Fri 7/1 @ 8PM
Jazz trumpeter Curtis Taylor has come a long way from his childhood in Bedford, Ohio. Inspired by some of the outstanding northeast Ohio players he heard, he majored in jazz studies at Michigan State University and earned a masters degree in music at Rutgers University prior to launching his career as a professional musician. He’s performed with pianist Cyrus Chestnutt, saxophonist James Carter and jazz vocalist Gregory Porter, playing on Porter’s Grammy-winning 2013 album Liquid Spirit.
He’ll be coming home to northeast Ohio for a rather offbeat gig. He’ll be performing at the monthly Bainbridge Swing Dance at Bainbridge Township Town Hall. “I pride myself on being versatile and having a band that is able to do the same,” he says.
There’s a dance lesson, geared for both experienced dancers and novices of all ages, at 8pm and the live music starts at 9. Admission is $10 for adults, 8$8 for youths, and $25 per family.
