Elias Haslanger Quintet
Experience an unforgettable evening with the Elias Haslanger Quintet at their live taping and intimate listening-room concert! Dive into an all-original jazz program led by Austin's own tenor sax sensation Elias Haslanger, whose virtuoso style echoes legends like John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter.
Joined by powerhouse players Mike Sailors on trumpet, Ross Margitza on piano, Ryan Hagler on bass, and Daniel Dufour on drums, this quintet delivers roaring licks and infectious energy that's earned rave reviews from DownBeat magazine. A native Texan with a 30-year career, Elias has shared stages with icons like Ellis Marsalis, Maynard Ferguson, and Sheryl Crow, and boasts seven acclaimed recordings as a leader.
It's a whisper-quiet affair for the taping, so bring your own bottle (BYOB) and enjoy cold water, ice, wine keys, and cups provided. Catch the first show with doors at 7:45pm and music at 8pm, or the second at 9:45pm doors and 10pm set—pure jazz bliss not to be missed!
