They’re the start of a new workweek (ugh) and the furthest possible distance from the next relaxing weekend – Mondays will always be a source of stress and anxiety. But the Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum is helping us look forward to summer Mondays with their annual Jazz Summerfest series.

The schedule of events is listed below – and as an added bonus, we’ve added links so you can sample each musician’s work.

I wish I could pick a favorite, but I might just have to go see them all. Hope to see you there!
