Jazz at Sequoya: Gerri DiMaggio Quartet

Meeting Rooms A and B Combined
Saturday, Dec 21, 2024, 2:00pm to 4:00pm

Join us for Saturday Jazz! This month, we welcome the Gerri DiMaggio Quartet.

With the sound of a night club singer right out of a 1940s film noir, Gerri DiMaggio evokes romantic nostalgia with a modern edge. Her expressive singing, warm earthiness, and emotional insight prove that she is a true believer in the power of storytelling. That is their goal: to inspire joy through music.

Jazz at Sequoya features local musicians on the third Saturday of every month. The series is generously funded by the Friends of Sequoya Library.
