with John Merrill Trio
John Merrill Trio plays Smalls Jazz Club, a 60-capacity small room in West Village, on Monday, December 7. The show starts at 4 PM.
Guitarist John Merrill began his musical studies at a young age. He played clarinet, recorder, and drums but once he discovered the guitar he became determined to learn the instrument. His teacher, bassist David Stoltz, not only showed him the basics of guitar but also shared with John his passion for jazz music. He was also very fortunate to live next door to a great saxophonist and music scholar Leonard Brown who further encouraged John's growing interest in jazz. John began playing professionally while still in high school and was in the band for several musical stage productions.
