Adam Carrillo grew up on TV theme songs. He wondered how they would sound as jazz. His quartet plays 75 years of TV themes, from "I Love Lucy" to "Seinfeld." Each song gets real solos and swing.

Jazz, TV: Timeless Jazz Meets Nostalgic Television!
Tue, Sep 08
Adam Carrillo leads a quartet built to turn TV theme songs into jazz. Chris Vu plays piano. Brandon Guerra plays drums. Mike Porter plays bass. Carrillo plays saxophone out front. Together they take on television music from the last 75 years. They swing through "I Love Lucy" and "Bewitched," groove through "The Jeffersons" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and turn "Friends" and "Seinfeld" into full arrangements. Each theme gets rebuilt as a real jazz arrangement, with room to stretch out and improvise. This has been a Jazz, TX date since April 2024, with more than twenty shows played so far.
