    Monday Night jazz jam w/ Michael Mordecai, John Fremgen, & Mike Koenning, Jon Blondell w/ Dr. Jim Rose, Tony Campise birthday celebration (5:00)

    Before his untimely death in 2010, multi-reedist Tony Campise was one of Texas jazz’s biggest and brightest stars, well-versed in creamy, soulful balladry as much as hell-bent-for-leather fireworks. Born in Houston, cutting his teeth in Stan Kenton’s big band, then based in Austin from 1984, Campise and his big band became a staple of the Elephant Room and every other Austin club that would have him. Parker Jazz celebrates what would have been his 81st birthday by bringing together as many members of his ensemble as possible, celebrating the life of a musician who kept Austin jazz creative and colorful.
