January 12, 2025 - MNM Trio with Josh Bruneau
Mary DiPaola began her musical career at the Hartt School, where she received degrees in piano performance: jazz studies (BMus) under the direction of the legendary Jackie McLean, and music education (MMusEd) . She has been performing music throughout CT since, appearing in Litchfield and Hartford Jazz festivals, and has recorded three times as a bandleader: Cat's Cradle, Seventh Sign and the most recent: Grata. She has worked consistently with bassist Nat Reeves since the 1990s, and their collaboration now includes Molly Sayles on drums. The trio released Grata in June 2024 and has appeared at the Side Door Jazz club, The Red Door Jazz series and the Paul Brown Monday night jazz series. The MNM trio will be joined by trumpeter Josh Bruneau, who has appeared with the group several times including the Parkville Monday Night jazz series, the Paul Brown series in Bushnell Park, and Jazz at the Red Door series.

Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
