Double M Jazz Salon Flyer Collection
February 4, 1996 to December 2, 2012
Mimi Melnick was a gift to the jazz community.
From February 4, 1996 to December 2, 2012, Mimi held more than 58 Jazz Salons in her home. This is a collection of most of the flyers she sent out and photographs from her collection.
Many thanks to Steve Isoardi and Jeannette Lindsay for keeping and scanning most of the Salon flyers.
Thank you for helping us celebrate the first Jazz Salon with the Horace Tapscott trio in February. Your presence contributed to the success of the occasion and I look forward to seeing you at future events.
All proceeds from the Salon are used to pay the musicians: the greater the attendance, the more remunerative the engagement for the performers. Any names you can personally recommend as additions to my mailing list will be greatly appreciated and will help guarantee successful afternoons for the musicians.
I hope you can join us for more bright moments with the Bobby Bradford Mo'tet on Sunday, May 5.
Best wishes,
BOBBY BRADFORD MO'TET
