Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents Merge Quintet

Merge Quintet was formed in Chicago during the early months of 2013 to perform the original jazz compositions of saxophonist Alex Beltran and bassist Joel Kelsey. Merge Quintet plays a variety of styles from swing to modern jazz to odd-meter grooves and a little bit of funk. The quintets compositions blend lyrical melodies with sophisticated harmonies and organic grooves, making the music accessible to musicians and non musicians alike.

The group features Alex Beltran on saxophone, Joel Kelsey on bass, Tom Vaitsas on piano/Fender Rhodes, Jon Deitemyer on drums and Dan Bruce on guitar.

Merge Quintet's debut album, Delays, was released on ears&eyes Records in November 2014. For more information: www.mergequintet.com and/or
