will play at Watertown's Armenian Library and Museum of America on

Jazz Club.
Members include Ara Sarkissian, arrangements and piano; Martin
Haroutunian, folk instruments; Todd Brunel, soprano saxophone; Ken
Field, alto saxophone; Mario Cerra, tenor saxophone; Roberto Cassan,
accordion; Fabio Pirozzolo, percussion; Greg Loughman, bass; and
