We are thrilled to present this special series with the Gabriel Mervine Quintet as they celebrate the legacy of one of the most iconic, joyful voices in American music: trumpeter Clark Terry. An inimitable, formative, and often underappreciated figure as a player, bandleader, and educator, Terry's prodigious skill as a trumpeter and infectious style continue to inspire generations of musicians to this day. Honoring Terry's remarkable contributions to American music are a collection of iconic figures in the Colorado music scene: trumpeter Gabriel Mervine, saxophonist Daryl Gott, pianist Tom Amend, bassist Seth Lewis, and drummer Dru Heller.

Bandleader Gabriel Mervine is deeply rooted in the traditions of Jazz and Classical and is an active contributor to the modern music scene both in Colorado and nationally. Born in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Gabriel began his professional playing career at the age of thirteen. By the time he graduated high school he was already looking at making a career out of playing the trumpet. He has studied with Bobby Shew, Roger Ingram, and Greg Gisbert and quickly gained recognition for as a unique and capable player in any environment. Gabriel has performed with Natalie Cole, Christian McBride, Chie Imaizumi, Terence Blanchard, Russell Malone, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, John McNeil, Convergence, Roberta Gambarini, the Motet, and Houston Person.
