    A Very Merry Christmas Show w/ Parker Jazz Club House Band & Jennifer Johnson, Ryan Davis Trio

    The Christmas spirit settles in for some hot jazz and cool tunes, as Parker Jazz caps off its month of Yuletide cheer with back-to-back nights. Singer, multi-instrumentalist, and club owner Kris Kimura leads the house band (pianist Ryan Davis, bassist Brian Triesch, drummer Jeremy Bruch, plus guest singer Jennifer Johnson) through dips into the extensive catalog of jazz Christmas standards. Davis pulls double duty, as his trio opens both shows with his take on Vince Guaraldi’s beloved tunes from the classic cartoon A Charlie Brown Christmas. Both shows start at 7:30; Courtney Santana follows with more Xmas cheer on Friday.

    The Point

    Nowadays when someone tells me, “Holy shit, I stumbled upon the coolest band playing last night, they were called…,” the most frequent words to follow are “the Point.” Descriptions of what they saw vary greatly, because the young duo of Jack Montesinos and Joe Roddy are unusually polygamous to genre and instrumentation. The Point is, at heart, a jazz-fusion combo, but every record opens new lanes. 2020 debut iHOP sounded like bedroom pop made by kids who were first-chair in school band, followed up with a trunk-rattling instrumental homage to Houston hip-hop godhead DJ Screw. New EP Berto’s Banquet – which finds Montesinos (a prodigious upright bassist) playing amped up electric guitar and Roddy (who seems to play every category of instruments) on organ and synth bass – opens with uncaged garage psych, then delves into Andean tropical music, smoky neo-soul, and dub. The recordings document a recent era in which they’re backed by Italian drummer Alberto Telo, who plays with traditional grip and conjures exquisite accents. His chemistry with the Point has been so game-changing it’s little surprise they named Berto’s Banquet, which arcs with raw, one-take vitality, in his honor.

    Weed Martyr, Jane Leo, Easy Compadre

    When the world is at its most chaotic and dire, a hero rises, rallying behind a message that resonates for the time and unites people with a clarity of purpose. Here, that hero is Weed Martyr, and that message is “Guillotine Billionaires.” The 2021 danceably doomy blast from the Bright Light Social Hour’s alter ego project rakes out the detritus of the pandemic in a psychedelic jamming haze. Jane Leo, the synth and guitar combination of Jane Ellen Bryant and Daniel Leopold, sets up intoxicatingly dark, rippling new wave pulses from this year’s Big Life EP. Easy Compadre! kicks off.
