The MVJBS calendar kicks off on Jan. 18 with a favorite of the society, the David Borrego Trio, for the first monthly meeting of the year. The group includes David Borrego on guitar, Ricky Malichi on drums, and Hector Olea on upright bass.

Audiences can catch the trio performing throughout Las Cruces and El Paso, charming audiences with a mix of jazz standards and original compositions. All three musicians are involved in music education, and can also be found performing in their own groups and various other ensembles around the borderland.

Admission for the society’s monthly meetings is $5 for MVJBS members and $10 for non-members. Ticketing information is available online at mvjazzblues.net.
