Music is in the blood of 20-something saxophonist Greg Floor. His grandfather and father each play clarinet, and his sister is a pianist. Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Floor is the special guest as Billy Taylor's Jazz at the Kennedy Center visits Salt Lake City's Libby Gardner Concert Hall. With Dr. Taylor's trio, Floor delights the audience with fine renditions of "A Child Is Born," "Caravan" and "I Remember April" as well as with insightful comments about his musical career and the future of jazz.
