Description

Jazz Vocals Equipped with an ever-expanding catalog of both well-loved and lesser-known jazz standards, an Ella-esque adeptness at scatting, and an infectiously joyful energy, Meryl Zimmerman sets herself apart as a unique personality and a true musician who isn’t trying to sound like anyone but herself. Meryl can be found performing all over the city with a rotating cast of NOLA’s finest jazz musicians, including frequent collaborators Georgi Petrov, Larry Scala, Larry Sieberth, Kris Tokarski, and Ed Wise. She is the vocalist for The Tangiers Combo, an ensemble that combines French bal musettes, Latin waltzes, American songbook classics, and Caribbean beats. She is featured on their latest album, 2019’s “Tangerine,” and sings with them at Bacchanal on Saturday afternoons. Meryl’s other frequent local haunts include Effervescence, Buffa’s, SideBar, and the Bistro Orleans. She is on the faculty of Loyola University New Orleans and the University of New Orleans, where she teaches jazz voice. This event pairs her with musicians and long time collaborators Larry Scala & Ed Wise.
