Hope you guys like jazz. Otherwise, you're pretty screwed tonight.
The Rebel Alliance Jazz Ensemble at Pearl at Commerce
Featuring some of the best musicians in our area, the 17-piece Rebel Alliance Jazz Ensemble is anything but the stuffy light jazz combo. Dabbling in rock, R&B, Latin and swing, this ensemble can even make the theme to Star Wars sound like a Benny Goodman standard. These guys play about town regularly, but the homey confines of Pearl is as great a place as any to catch this collection of talented players.
Eric Barnes at The Library Bar
Originally from Seattle, Erik Barnes is a classically trained pianist who plays jazz and pop tunes at The Library Bar inside The Melrose Hotel every Tuesday night. The guy originally studied music from the renaissance, but his fare is considerably lighter these days. Barnes' music is the perfect thing to mellower a listener out after a busy holiday season.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
