A ten-piece band performing the original jazz fusion compositions of Dr. John Mills with an all-star cast of Austin musicians.
John Mills TIMES TEN plays The Elephant Room on Wednesday, August 5, from 9 PM to 11 PM. It's a ten-piece band performing the original jazz fusion compositions of Dr. John Mills, fronted by an all-star cast of Austin musicians. The group describes itself as a powerhouse, and that ten-piece lineup is the point: it's a big sound on a single stage, built around adventurous writing and high-energy jazz.
If you're not familiar with the name, the music comes from Dr. John Mills, and the band is built to do his jazz fusion compositions justice. Fusion is a broad term, but here it's played by a full ensemble rather than a small combo, which lets the arrangements breathe and gives the whole thing a lot of room to move. The cast is drawn from Austin's own music scene, so you're hearing local players on these charts.
The show takes place in the basement of The Elephant Room, the Congress Avenue club that hosts live jazz nightly. The venue bills the band as a monthly fixture of its basement room, so this isn't a one-off—it's part of a regular run. If you've spent any time there, you know the basement is a separate space from the main floor, and having a ten-piece band down there fills the room.
