BROOKLYN, December 2nd, 2024: Jeff Parker and the ETA IVtet kick off a three-night International Anthem residency at Public Records, co-presented by Qobuz. The residency also features performances by SML (December 3rd) and Anna Butterss (December 4th), highlighting the prolific and powerful contingency of inter-connected musicians that have grown around Parker in Los Angeles over the last ~7 years.
For the first night – Monday, December 2nd – the guitarist Parker and his ETA IVtet (w/ saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Jay Bellerose) will perform twice, just over a week after the release of their new album The Way Out of Easy. The two performances are sold separately.
Night two – Tuesday, December 3rd – will be the New York debut of SML, the improvisational trance/jazz quintet born of the same NE LA hotbed that housed Parker's IVtet (ETA), that also features bassist Anna Butterss and saxophonist Josh Johnson, alongside synthesist Jeremiah Chiu, drummer Booker Stardrum, and guitarist Gregory Uhlmann.
On third and final night – Wednesday, December 4th – bassist Anna Butterss will perform music from their recently-released IARC debut Mighty Vertebrate, alongside their working band that features saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Gregory Uhlmann, and drummer Ben Lumsdaine. This show will also feature an opening set by the improvisational duo of synthesist Jeremiah Chiu and saxophonist Alabaster DePlume, who perform together for the first time since an impromptu Sunday morning "synth bath" at the Vintage Synth Museum in Los Angeles in Summer 2023.
