David Chao Quartet
Details
Get ready for a special night of modern jazz with the David Chao Quartet on June 28, 2026 at 7:30 PM. This is a live taping and listening-room concert built for deep ears, quiet cheers, and those magical in-the-moment performances that only happen once.
David Chao, an Austin-based composer and jazz pianist, is bringing a fresh set of original music written especially for the room and the audience in it. He’ll be joined by a killer lineup:
- David Chao – piano
- Eric Hargett – saxophone
- Ben Triesch – bass
- Daniel Sanchez – drums
What makes this one extra cool? The performance is part of David’s ongoing 2026 series, with the most compelling pieces eventually shaping an EP release in 2027. So you’re not just hearing a concert — you’re catching the creative process in real time.
Because this is a live taping, a whisper-policy will be in effect to keep the vibe intimate and recording-friendly. Bring your best listening mode and enjoy the music up close.
Need a drink for the set? It’s BYOB, with cold bottles of still and sparkling water available for purchase. Ice will be on hand if you need it, and wine keys plus 9oz cups are provided to keep things easy.
Doors open at 7:15 PM, so arrive a little early, settle in, and get ready for a beautifully focused night of original jazz in Austin.
