Parker Jazz Club is thrilled to welcome saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa to the stage for one night of fantastic music. Having established himself in the 1990s as one of the most diverse sax men in contemporary jazz during his decade long tenure with The Rippingtons, the Seattle native’s instincts led him to more dynamic endeavors through his solo career. In 2004, Kashiwa founded The Sax Pack, a trio of saxophone headliners, featuring himself, Steve Cole, and Kim Waters. It is always a great time when Jeff comes to Austin! We love the energy, mastery, and soul he brings to the Parker stage...come check it out! Parker Jazz Club is 21+ music venue
