Two men named George, no relation, founded the Sarasota Jazz Project in 2010, and co-founder George McLain still directs the 17-piece big band. Its book runs from Ellington, Basie, Kenton and Glenn Miller to more modern voices such as Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Quincy Jones and Gil Evans, plus originals and charts by arrangers including Gordon Goodwin and John Clayton. The roster blends working professionals with music teachers and serious amateurs from Florida's West Coast. This concert opens the 2026-27 season of Jazz at Two at the Unitarian Universalist congregation on Fruitville Road.
