David Chao Quartet
Experience the magic of the David Chao Quartet at Monks Jazz Club! Dive into a live taping and intimate listening-room concert featuring Austin-based jazz pianist and composer David Chao on piano, alongside Eric Hargett on saxophone, Ben Triesch on bass, and Daniel Sanchez on drums.
David's latest project is a thrilling challenge: he wrote 50 new songs in just 100 days starting in September 2025, and this show spotlights the band's favorites from that fresh collection. It's a whisper-quiet vibe for the recording, so shush up and soak in the smooth jazz grooves!
Bring your own bottle (BYOB), grab ice, wine keys, and cups on site, or snag cold still and sparkling water. Doors swing open at 7:45pm, with the show kicking off at 8pm—pure jazz bliss awaits!
