Brandon Guerra is the house drummer at Jazz, TX, and he plays more than 250 shows a year. Last December, he and saxophonist Adam Carrillo started a Christmas show of their own. Now it's back for a second run.
Most Christmas songs are about being merry. This band likes the other side, too. They play the lonesome "Blue Christmas" and let the Grinch have his say. Somebody has to. Even "Christmas Time Is Here" gets room to be a little sad.
Don't worry, the fun shows up early. The night opens with "Jingle Bells" as a drum solo. No sleigh, just Brandon. "White Christmas" turns into a boogaloo, which Bing never saw coming. By the end, "Feliz Navidad" sends everyone home happy.

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.
