The Parker House Band presents some of the most important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century—our longstanding ensemble breathing life into already phenomenal, historical music. With pianist Ryan Davis, bassist Ben Triesch, drummer Jeremy Bruch, and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kris Kimura, improvisation is king. Exceptional guest musicians frequently sit in, so no two shows are ever the same.

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.
