Trace the stylistic journey of jazz from its origins to the present day in a musical performance by the Hanah Jon Taylor Quintet, interwoven with a dramatic presentation of the music's history by master jazz musician and educator Hanah Jon Taylor. Hanah Jon Taylor is a preeminent saxophonist and flutist and has been a leading catalyst, organizer and arts educator throughout his 30-year career. Taylor currently serves as lead instructor for "Live Soundz on Saturday," a jazz education program partnership between the Greater Madison Jazz Consortium and the Goodman Community Center.
