Monte Warden and the Dangerous Few

Thu, Oct 22

In 2017, Monte Warden announced his new Americana project, Monte Warden and the Dangerous Few, a critically acclaimed project of all-original material showcasing Warden’s writing and vocals in the Jazz / Traditional Pop genre that Paste Magazine dubbed “The Great Americana Songbook,” while noting “Warden has created a sound that never before existed.” KUTX opined, “Imagine Gene Vincent singing Cole Porter.” The 2020 debut album received worldwide critical praise as well as first-ballot Grammy nominations in six categories, including Best Americana Album and Album of the Year.

Aubrey Logan

Aubrey Logan

Fri, Oct 23

Some artists perform a concert. Aubrey Logan throws a party.


One moment she’s delivering a jazz standard with breathtaking elegance. The next she’s turning a pop song inside out, trading solos with the band, making the audience laugh, or taking a musical detour that nobody—including the band—saw coming. Every performance is fueled by extraordinary musicianship, quick wit, and the kind of spontaneity that reminds you why live music will always matter. And you do not want to miss this!


Aubrey has become one of Parker Jazz Club’s most beloved returning artists because no two evenings are ever alike. (For those of us who work with her–it feels just slightly dangerous). She arrives with a set list…but it rarely stays that way. Requests happen. Stories happen. Magic happens. Before the night is over, the room feels less like a club and more like a gathering of old friends who just happen to have a world-class musician leading the conversation.


If you’ve experienced Aubrey before, you know exactly why you don’t want to miss this one. If you haven’t, this is the perfect night to discover why audiences leave asking one question: “When is she coming back?”

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Blue Note Records in the Progressive '60s

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Blue Note Records in the Progressive '60s

Sun, Oct 25

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE:

Chase Baird - saxophone

Ingrid Jensen - trumpet

Bruce Barth - piano

David Ambrosio -bass

Rudy Royston - drums


Civil Disobedience, initiated by New York bassist David Ambrosio, revives politically conscious music written by Black jazz composers during the late-1960s Blue Note era. This project revisits a powerful but largely overlooked body of music written in response to the civil rights movement and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Many of these compositions—instrumental works of protest and reflection—were released decades after they were written and never received wide attention. Civil Disobedience brings this music back into focus through new performances that highlight both its historical significance and its striking relevance today.


“With Civil Disobedience, Ambrosio is back in the deep end of musical dedication - to his ideals and to a historical and social consciousness” - Josef Woodard, DownBeat Magazine


"An album of anthemic songs speaking to the history of spirited civil rights activism." - AD Amorosi, Jazz Times


“This album has to be considered as one of the best of 2026” - Mike Greenblatt, The Aquarian



“If your foot isn’t tapping it’s because your shoes are nailed to the floor.” - Musically Speaking - Mel Minter


“There’s something life affirming about David Ambrosio’s latest project [Civil Disobedience]. These underplayed songs boast divergent melodic paths, but are all driven by swing.” - Andy Cowan, MOJO Magazine UK


“Civil Disobedience: Blue Note in the Progressive Sixties is both a tribute and a reclamation, a love letter to the music” - Mark Corroto, All About Jazz
