Jazz Underground: feat the Matt Lemmler Trio

Loyola's monthly Jazz Underground series invites stellar jazz musicians from across the region and the nation to perform in Nunemaker Auditorium. Guest performers frequently work with our students in a masterclass setting in addition to performing.

This month's featured artist is the Matt Lemmler Trio, featuring Loyola's own Matt Lemmler on piano, Martin Masakowski on acoustic bass, and Gerald T. Watkins on drums, with special guest Sari Jordan on vocals. They will perform selections from Matt Lemmler's two recent record releases, Powerhouse and The Book of Psalms - Volume One. More information about those releases can be found on his website.

Matt Lemmler is every bit a proud New Orleans jazz artist, tapping into the rich heritage of The Big Easy in the effort to preserve and promulgate the distinct spirit, multicultural makeup, and storied history through
his masterful recordings, captivating live productions, and serving the community via educational efforts and outreach. As a unique vocal and instrumental voice, he embodies the birthplace of jazz and the city’s seminal figures - from Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Allen Toussaint, and Dr. John to Harry Connick, Jr., Fats Domino, James Booker, and his late mentor, Ellis Marsalis, Jr.
