LOVELL — The Bradley Jazz Collective will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 24, at the Lovell Brick Church for the Performing Arts. The Collective, made up of Mike Sakash on saxophone, Jed Wilson on piano, Al Hospers on bass and Craig Bryan on drums, will play jazz standards from the 1950s and 1960s, including the music of Thelonius Monk, Charles Lloyd, Herbie Hancock, Joseph Kosma, Charlie Parker and George Gershwin. The program will be diverse, including sultry ballads, bossa nova and exciting up-tempo swing.
The Collective got its start in the fall of 2014, when it opened a new concert series called “Bradley Street Backstage” at Fryeburg Academy’s Performing Arts Center. After playing to a sold-out crowd, the group stayed together, performing throughout New Hampshire and Maine. The group performs creative interpretations of jazz classics as well as original music inspired by the rich tradition of small-group jazz.
The Brick Church for the Performing Arts is located on Christian Hill Road in Lovell. Tickets at the door will be $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under. For more information, call 207-925-1500 or go to www.lovellbrickchurch.org.
