<p>It’s only fitting that Stephen and Mary Merriman kick off the first performance of our summer jazz series with the Merrimans' Play-House Players! This performance will highlight their enjoyment of one of jazz's most valued traditions—the open session, a format that nurtures not only the active player but also the active listener. The ensemble features Stephen Merriman on drums, Mary Merriman on bass, Titus Arko on piano, Don Lerman on saxophone, Todd Neuenschwander on tenor saxophone, Max Wilfinger on trumpet, and maybe a guest or two sitting in.</p>
<p>Museum galleries will be open so you can explore the work of art paired with the performance.</p>
