BLONDELL!

🐘 9pm

Bigger than life, "Fireball Front Man" Jon Blondell and his band bring a fun repertoire of songs from all over the musical spectrum brought to the jazz stage as only Blondell can do featuring Dr. Jim Rose. At this point, we celebrate every MONTH with this guy!

Dr. James Polk's CENTERPEACE

CenterPeace performs the music of James Polk, the true Godfather of Austin's Jazz scene who made his mark on this town before most of the local jazz artists were born. His music continues to set the standard for Austin jazz at its best!

Peggy Stern Trio

Stern has her own voice — she extracts a lovely timbre from the piano…refusing to waste notes... Everything she writes wants to dance...”

Michael Mordecai has been hosting his Monday Night Jam since 1980. When the Elephant Room opened in 1991 he found it's permanent home sweet home. Many Austin Jazz greats cut their teeth at this unassuming Monday night hang. You just never know who might show up or what musical jam moment might spark the next cool collaboration.

Boss Street Brass Band

🐘9pm

March down the stairs on second Tuesdays to the second line sounds from the Boss Street Brass Band, Austin's own funky, horn-driven contemporary ensemble in the New Orleans tradition of "Phatt" Tuesdays every month!

Elias Haslanger Quintet

🐘 9pm

“Elias Haslanger is the real deal, a no-nonsense modernist whose Rollins-esque rhythmatics and Coltrane-tinged harmonics surge and soar.” — @jazztimesmag
