The Modern Jazz Sound of the Jonathan Bean Quartet Comes to Souhegan High School for Jazz Night

The Souhegan High School Music Department will host the fourth Jazz Night of the year on Friday May 17th at 7:00pm. This year marks the 11th anniversary of the Jazz Night series of concerts hosted at SHS. To wrap-up our 11th anniversary season, we are proud to welcome jazz saxophonist Jonathan Bean and his Quartet to SHS.

Jonathan Bean is a tenor saxophonist native to Southern New Hampshire.  Since graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music with his Master's Degree in '07, he has been playing professionally with multiple bands in the Boston and New York areas including the Mark Zaleski Band, The Omar Thomas Jazz Orchestra, and the Brighton Beat, which he co-founded.  His new quartet blends traditional and modern jazz with genres such as rock, funk, hip-hop, and afro-beat to create a fresh sound that will captivate any audience.


Joining Jon and the Quartet will be jazz ensembles from Souhegan, Amherst Middle School, Pelham Memorial Middle School and Nashua South High School. The concert will be held in the Souhegan theater. Admission is $10.00. For further information contact Carl Benevides at cbenevides@sprise.com.
