Jazz drummer Ari Hoenig performs at the Lake Austin House as part of the Global Jazz Workshop residency.
Ari Hoenig is playing at Lake Austin House on Saturday, August 1, at 12 PM. It's a midday show, which is a bit of a change from the usual late-night jazz slot, and it's part of his residency at the Global Jazz Workshop.
If you're not familiar with him, Hoenig is a jazz drummer known for a very specific kind of technicality. He's one of those players who treats the drums like a melodic instrument, often singing along with his own lines while he plays them. It's a high-wire act that puts the rhythmic and melodic side of the drums front and center, so the set is built around his playing rather than just keeping time for a larger ensemble.
This particular performance falls within his residency at the Global Jazz Workshop, which means he's spending a stretch of time here in Austin working with the workshop's musicians and students. A residency like that usually means the show is more than just a one-off date; it's a culmination of the time he's been spending in the city, and the set is built around his own work.
