The Ryan Davis Trio plays classic jazz and Great American Songbook selections, including modern works but also stretching back through the post-bop, cool jazz, and traditional jazz genres, trying to build on the musical language that has been left for us, and attempting to introduce a new audience to these great tunes. “Ultimately though, we are trying to groove, to find a connection on a more fundamental, human level, and move the audience with us,” says Davis. Pianist, composer, and arranger Davis leads the ensemble, with Jeremy Bruch on drums and Ben Triesch on bass. Specific artists that have influenced the sound of the group include Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Ellis Marsalis, Tamir Hendelman, Bill Charlap, Errol Garner, George Shearing, Red Garland, and many others.

Kris Kimura and the Parker House Band are proud to present a special show paying homage to one of the most iconic and original jazz artists in history. Legendary vocalist and trumpet Chet Baker left an indelible mark on the music industry, recording over 100 albums in his four-decade career. His unique sound and personality inspired future generations of musicians in a way few artists have. Kris Kimura and his world class quartet explore favorites from Chet's vast discography, including songs from "Chet Sings!" and "Chet Baker Sings and Plays." Parker Jazz Club is 21+ music venue

In his acclaimed 25-year musical career, vocalist Kenny Williams has lit up stages nationally and internationally, and spent nearly a decade performing on Broadway in New York City, making his Broadway debut in Disney’s hit musical The Lion King. A tornado of talent and charisma, Williams possesses an impressive vocal range and a light-from-within aura. The Austin native studied voice at the University of Texas, and cut his teeth as an actor and an entertainer in clubs on the city’s famed 6th Street and at ZACH Theatre. Williams was born to entertain, and his star shines brightly. He is a truly gifted vocalist, while his spirit, energy, and passion will bring you back for more.
