Jazz TX's Upcoming Shows

Two elite jazz quartets enter. Every solo counts. The winner is anyone’s guess.

Equal parts concert and comedy, "Battle of the Jazz Bands" is a wildly entertaining new way to experience jazz, played by seriously talented musicians who are very much in on the joke. Led by Doc Watkins, this live showdown puts brilliant jazz players head-to-head in a performance where anything can happen, and probably will.

Solos will be challenged. Rules may appear out of nowhere. Audience members might influence the outcome. And through all the surprise twists, musical curveballs, and onstage chaos, one thing is certain: the jazz will be GREAT.

Representing the home turf: the Jazz, TX House Band, led by Brandon Guerra, an audience favorite for good reason. Crossing city lines to challenge them: Doc's Houston House Band, led by Graeme Francis, arriving with something to prove.

Bragging rights are on the line. Come watch them duke it out.

As always, our kitchen and bar will be open for dinner service!

See you at the battle!

Jazz, TX is proud to present American jazz pianist Benny Green!

Born in New York City and raised in Berkeley, California, pianist Benny Green was introduced to jazz at an early age through his father’s record collection, which included Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, and other foundational voices of the music. He began piano lessons at age 7, played his first paid performance at 12, and made his major concert stage debut at 15 with the Monterey Jazz Festival High School All-Stars. After early work in the Bay Area with vocalist Faye Carol and NEA Jazz Master Eddie Henderson, Green returned to New York City at 19, where he was mentored by Walter Bishop Jr. and Walter Davis Jr. and performed with artists including Barry Altschul, Bobby Watson, and Jo Jones Jr.

Green went on to tour internationally with Betty Carter, appearing on her GRAMMY-winning album "Look What I Got," before joining Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, the Freddie Hubbard Quintet, and later the Ray Brown Trio, his longest tenure as a sideman. Named Oscar Peterson’s protégé and recipient of the Glenn Gould Award for excellence in music and communication, Green has built a celebrated recording career as a leader for Criss Cross, Blue Note Records, Telarc, and Sunnyside, with notable collaborations including Russell Malone, Oscar Peterson, and Diana Krall’s GRAMMY-winning "All for You." He continues to lead his trio, record new music, and carry forward one of the most respected voices in modern jazz piano.

As always our kitchen and bar are open for dinner service.
