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. She can be found performing all over the city with a rotating cast of NOLA’s finest jazz musicians and she’s the vocalist for The Tangiers Combo. The first single from the album, “It’s You I Like,’ is available for streaming and purchase on all major platforms.

Eric Merchant received his M.M. in Jazz Studies from UNO under the tutelage of Stever Masakowski and is now adjunct guitar instructor at both UNO and the University of Southern Mississippi. He performs regularly around NOLA both in groups and as a solo guitarist.
