Tonight in downtown Austin — I’ll be at the legendary Elephant Room with Pamela Hart , celebrated by Austin Woman Magazine as “𝐴𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛’𝑠 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝐿𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐽𝑎𝑧𝑧.”

Pamela and I will be playing 9 PM–1 AM in one of Austin’s classic underground jazz rooms — the kind of intimate, late-night listening space where the city’s real music culture comes alive.

And there’s a nice full-circle connection: Pamela and I are also part of Austin Jazz Society’s “𝐴𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛 𝐽𝑎𝑧𝑧 𝐿𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠” celebration next Wednesday at Monks Jazz, honoring four years of "Midweek at Monks".

For visitors looking for the real Austin beyond the obvious tourist path: start underground at the Elephant Room tonight, then follow the thread to Monks next Wednesday. This is Austin jazz from the inside.
