A live jazz performance by saxophonist Elias Haslanger as part of the True Texas Tunes summer series at H-E-B Lake Austin.
Elias Haslanger plays H-E-B Lake Austin on Wednesday, July 30, as part of the True Texas Tunes summer series. It's a free show that runs from 5 PM to 7 PM, so it's more of a late-afternoon thing than a late-night gig.
True Texas Tunes is a summer series that comes back to H-E-B Lake Austin to celebrate Austin's music scene, with free live performances on Wednesday evenings. The series is presented by HOME (Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers) and H-E-B, and it's designed to highlight the depth and diversity of the city's music scene. Guests can hang out with barbecue, happy hour specials, and air conditioning while the music is going.
Haslanger is one of Austin's most respected jazz musicians, a tenor saxophonist known for a warm tone, expressive phrasing, and deep roots in the classic jazz tradition. He's led the Elias Haslanger Quartet for a long time, and he draws inspiration from legends like Dexter Gordon and Stanley Turrentine. He plays with a distinctly Austin feel, moving easily between straight-ahead jazz, bluesy grooves, and improvisation.
