Spend a summer evening grooving to jazz on the Hiler Family Terrace at the Raclin Murphy Museum. Bring a blanket or lawn chair (limited seating will be available on the Terrace), relax under the sun, and let the music move you in this one-of-a-kind setting. Ivan’s Cafe will have tasty food and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase until 6:00 p.m. Oh Mamma’s will be selling scrumptious small plates perfect for snacking, and Perry Vine will be pouring delicious meads and wines for purchase by the glass or bottle.
This month, vibraphonist Jim Cooper and trumpeter Kenny Cooper pay tribute to jazz greats Miles Davis, Milt Jackson, John Coltrane, Bobby Hutcherson, Louis Armstrong, and more. In addition to Cooper and Cooper, the quartet features Carlo de Rosa on bass and Keith Hall on drums.
Museum galleries will be open so you can explore the work of art paired with the performance.
Series curated by Stephen and Mary Merriman of Merrimans’ Playhouse.
