Our guests for this annual Tommy Gallant Memorial Concert at the Phillips Church on Tan Lane in Exeter are vocalist Taylor O'Donnell and trumpeter Chris Klaxton. Taylor O’Donnell, a Colorado native, is a contemporary vocalist who mainly uses her roots in classical vocal performance, musical theater, jazz, folk and R&B. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Studies from Western Michigan University, and graduated with a Master's Degree in Jazz Performance from the University of Miami. Chris Klaxton is a prime example of ambitious players who are coming up today and breathing new life into the music. Well-schooled by top trumpet masters, he not only has the chops, but also the unbounded imagination needed to transmit his ideas with music.
