The Back Room

Lisa Mezzacappa 5(ish) Aaron Bennett&nbsp;– tenor sax Mark Clifford&nbsp;– vibraphone Brett Carson&nbsp;– piano Jordan Glenn&nbsp;– drums Lisa Mezzacappa&nbsp;– bass
Berkeley bassist and composer&nbsp;Lisa Mezzacappa&nbsp;brings the latest incarnation of her working band to The Back Room for a raucous and rollicking suite of original music.
Her 5(ish) ensemble plays selections from its 2026 release&nbsp;othrwrldly, which explores the concept of worldbuilding—inspired by Mezzacappa’s fascination with the speculative fiction of Ursula Le Guin, Haruki Murakami, Samuel R. Delany and David Mitchell— as a way to envision new kinds of musical interaction, storytelling, structure and play.
othrwrldly&nbsp;showcases her band’s spectacular chemistry and keen improvisational prowess, woven into expansive compositions that foreground energy, sound, interaction and surprise. The band includes longtime collaborators tenor saxophonist&nbsp;Aaron Bennett&nbsp;(Adam Lane’s Full Throttle Orchestra), vibraphonist&nbsp;Mark Clifford&nbsp;(Meerna, Rent Romus), and drummer&nbsp;Jordan Glenn&nbsp;(Fred Frith Trio, Zeena Parkins), plus recent addition pianist&nbsp;Brett Carson&nbsp;(Art Ensemble of Chicago, Roscoe Mitchell).
 The Holly Martins Lorin Benedict, voice Kasey Knidsen, alto saxophone Eric Vogler, guitar
Named after the main character in the classic postwar film, The Third Man,&nbsp;The Holly Martins&nbsp;is a trio of Bay Area musicians&nbsp;dedicated to exploring the boundaries of jazz-infused improvised music, but without the trappings of a traditional "rhythm section.”&nbsp;
This configuration requires each individual to simultaneously take on multiple roles typically assigned individual players (soloist versus accompanist), thereby promoting more open-ended explorations of the material.&nbsp;As to said material, The Holly Martins often construct mutations of normal jazz standards, transformed from their more familiar forms in the time domain.&nbsp;Likewise, their original compositions are often "jazz-like," but with twists and turns such as asymmetric harmonic rhythms, and cycling rhythmic and pitch patterns.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show.
Doors open 30 minutes before show time. We accept cash or Venmo only at the door.

Piedmont Piano Company 1728 San Pablo Ave Oakland, CA 94612

Pianist Ethan Iverson, “a master of melody" (Downbeat), returns with a unique program featuring music by James P. Johnson and John Coltrane. It's uncommon for a modern jazz pianist to play music by Johnson, composer of the Jazz Age anthem "The Charleston" and stride piano classics like "Carolina Shout," and for a solo pianist to tackle iconic themes from Coltrane, known for his fierce style and interactive rhythm section. Iverson has "traversed the boundaries of jazz tradition while leaving an indelible mark on its evolution."
