Live jazz performance by Noah Peterson and Ricky Hernandez from the rooftop of The Fairmount Hotel.
Noah Peterson and Ricky Hernandez are playing The Fairmount Hotel on Thursday, October 15. It's a duo set: Peterson on saxophone and Hernandez on keys, with the two of them handling the whole evening. The music is live jazz, and the venue is the hotel's rooftop.
If you've been around the city's jazz scene, you've probably seen these two in different combinations. Here, it's just the two of them—sax and keys—which keeps the sound lean and puts the focus on how they play off each other. It's a straightforward pairing: the saxophone taking the lead and the keys filling in the harmony and the rhythm underneath. When you strip a jazz set down to just two players, there's nowhere to hide, so you get to hear exactly how they're listening to one another in real time.
The set is part of the hotel's rooftop series, and the location is the Fairmount Hotel's Rooftop Oyster Bar. It's an open-air spot, so you'll have the San Antonio skyline as the backdrop while the music runs. If you're coming from downtown, it's a short trip to the hotel's rooftop, and the music is the main draw for the night.

The performance runs from 7 PM to 9 PM, two hours of live jazz on a Thursday night. It's an early start and an early finish, so you're in and out before the night really gets going. If you're looking for a mid-week night out with live music and a view, this is a good one to keep on your radar.
