 Nathan Hanson©Andrea Canter by Andrea Canter
The TCJS “Jazz from J to Z” concert series continues March 4, with a performance by Nathan Hanson’s Saxophone Choir at Roseville Area High School (RAHS). The concert begins in the school auditorium at 7 p.m. with an opening set from the RAHS Jazz Ensemble I.
Composer/performer Nathan Hanson has been described as “unexpectedly tasteful and dignified” by ImproJazz-France. Over his career, he has performed with such legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Cecil Taylor, Mark Dresser, Carei Thomas and Douglas Ewart, as well as with current stars Chris Potter, Tony Malaby, Liberty Ellman, Elliot Humberto Kavee and Federico Ughi. A graduate of Newberry College and the University of South Carolina, Hanson worked on the East Coast for many years before returning to his hometown of Minneapolis. In the Twin Cities, he is best known as a member of the Fantastic Merlins, and performs frequently at the Black Dog and other venues. Hanson has served as curator or co-curator of several experimental music series, including the current Community Pool/Deep End series at the Black Dog.
