It's Commonly Jazz series returns to toot its horn

It's back. In July, the It's Commonly Jazz series will return to the courtyard in Swifton Commons.
From 6-9 p.m. on every Thursday in July, the Bond Hill shopping center will present local, regional and national jazz artists in concert.
The Fifth Third Bank Presents It's Commonly Jazz Series begins July 1 with Serious Young Musicians, a band of grade school and junior high jazz players from Dayton, Ohio.
The rest of the schedule:
• July 8: Piano Summit, a tribute to Duke Ellington with pianists Jay Allbright, Phil DeGreg, William Menefield and Charlie Wilson, backed by Jim Anderson on bass and Melvin Broach on drums.
• July 15: Marc Fields Quintet
• July 22: Standard Time with guest vocalist Bill Caffee.
• July 29: Blue Note recording artist, saxophonist Sonny Fortune.
Admission is free to all concerts. Lawn chairs and hand fans are suggested.
The It's Commonly Jazz series began in 1986 but did not take place last year because of the pending sale of the mall. In July 1998, the Allen Temple African Methodist Episcopal Church in Roselawn purchased the 34-acre site for $1-2 million. Plans include erecting a church and day-care center along with retail space.
