Jazz, TX Presents: Laila Biali
Wed, Nov 11
Laila Biali grew up in Toronto. She trained as a classical pianist, then found her way to jazz. Now she writes and sings her own songs. She hosts Saturday Night Jazz on CBC back home in Canada. Her record Laila Biali won a JUNO. This year she added a Grammy nod for her holiday album Wintersongs. She made it with strings and a small orchestra. At Jazz, TX she strips it back to just a trio, her own songs and a few standards. She has shared a stage with Sting. She has played Carnegie Hall and a concert hall in Beijing. Here in the basement of the Pearl, it's just piano, bass and drums, close enough to watch her hands move.
About Jazz TX
Jazz, TX is San Antonio's home for live jazz, tucked into the basement of the historic Pearl Brewery's Bottling Department. Founded in 2016 by bandleader and pianist Doc Watkins, the club picked up the torch of the city's great jazz rooms and quickly became its premier destination for live music. Seven nights of shows span jazz, blues, big band, Texas swing, salsa, and Latin jazz — from Doc Watkins and his ten-piece orchestra to world-class touring artists like Kevin Eubanks, Bill Charlap, and John Pizzarelli. Every show is an intimate, 90-minute ticketed concert. Come early for South Texas cuisine, craft cocktails, wine, and beer, and stay for the music. At Jazz, TX, the night is a celebration shared between the audience and the band. 312 Pearl Parkway, Building 6, Suite 6001, San Antonio, TX 78215 (210) 332-9386 Tuesday–Thursday 6–10 PM · Friday–Saturday 6 PM–midnight · occasional Sunday special shows
