Jazz at the Filson: Jazz Contemplations with Merton and Me
Sponsored by Kentucky College of Art + Design.
Join the Filson Historical Society for “Jazz Contemplations with Merton and Me,” an 80th birthday concert for Dick Sisto celebrating his close friendship with Thomas Merton. Sisto, a celebrated vibraphonist, pianist, and member of the Three for All Trio, will be joined by Jeremy Allen on acoustic and electric Bass and Mike Hyman on drums. “Jazz Contemplations” embraces the classic jazz that Sisto and Merton loved and features original compositions that Sisto wrote for the PBS documentary, Soul Searching, as well as recent compositions. The concert will be peppered with memories of Thomas Merton and his teachings and is a perfect way to celebrate Dick Sisto’s 80th birthday. Light refreshments will be provided.
