Eddy’s Music Factory in Malaga is treating jazz lovers to an evening of world-class music this Friday, as acclaimed American bassist Dean DeMerritt makes a special appearance for a free, one-night-only performance on Friday, June 5.

A lifetime of jazz pedigree and a country Grammy

DeMerritt’s musical career spans more than four decades, covering jazz, country, and classical music. Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, DeMerritt grew up performing in his father’s jazz band before formalizing his education at the University of Tulsa, where he studied classical and jazz bass.

While in college and throughout his early career, he shared the stage with jazz heavyweights including Stanley Clarke, Max Roach, Billy Cobham, Thad Jones, and Mel Lewis.

Following his graduation, DeMerritt joined the celebrated western swing band Asleep at the Wheel. During his four-year tenure with the group, he recorded multiple albums, won a Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance, and toured alongside country icons Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and George Strait.

High-energy improvisation all in one evening

Joining DeMerritt on stage Friday to form a classic jazz trio are talented local pianist Carlos Gonzalez and drummer Johnny Bebop.

The trio’s performance will be an interesting mix of traditional jazz standards and contemporary interpretations, prioritizing the live improvisation and spontaneous musical interaction that defines the style. The vibe at Eddy’s Music Factory allows the audience to experience the performance perfect for jazz, up close and personal.

Open jam session to follow the main event

Following the main concert, the venue will host an open jam session. Local musicians are invited to bring their instruments to collaborate on stage and connect with the visiting artists, a rare, exciting and great opportunity for any lover of the genre.

Eddy’s Music Factory, located in Malaga’s Churriana area near IKEA hosts live concerts, rehearsals, and workshops throughout the year.
