The second show starts seating at 9pm.\nAdvanced Tickets Available Here\n“Heavy instrumental dream team”  -KCRW \nParlor Greens is a modern instrumental organ trio that channels the deep grooves of classic soul-jazz while pushing the sound into new territory for today’s audiences. Featuring Jimmy James on guitar\, Tim Carman on drums\, and Adam Scone on organ\, the group crafts tightly arranged\, song-forward instrumentals rooted in blues\, funk\, and R&B traditions. Since emerging on Colemine Records with their debut album In Green / We Dream in 2024\, followed by their 2026 follow-up Emeralds\, Parlor Greens has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exciting and in-demand heavy instrumental projects of the era. Their records and live shows nod to the feel of Jack McDuff\, John Patton\, Grant Green\, and the Meters without ever slipping into imitation\, instead highlighting the trio’s instant chemistry\, deep-pocket grooves\, and collective experience on the international stage. \n*Check out this arrangement of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ recorded in October of 2025 at the Portage Lounge. Rest in Peace\, Dolly.  \n \nParlor Greens has performed at such esteemed festivals as Newport Jazz Festival\, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, Fuji Rock\, Telluride Jazz Festival\, High Sierra Music Festival\, Portland Jazz Festival\, Aspen Jazz Festival\, Jam Cruise\, and Hulaween\, as well as headlining shows across the US\, Europe\, the UK\, and Japan since the release of their debut album. \n

SUMMARY:Kasan Belgrave and Session
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. Doors open at 5pm for dinner. Seating begins at 6pm for “Dinner & a Show”. The second show starts seating at 9pm\nSaxophonist Kasan Belgrave is a ascending talent newly emerging in the role of a compositional leader. His energetic playing style and improvisational finesse derives from influences of early bebop and jazz\, as well flares of fusion and gospel. His musical prowess has more recently been shown through new innovative compositions. \nThe record “Dual Citizen” is an introductory reflection of Kasan’s own consciousness through experience of musical nurturing & professional practice from the Detroit jazz mentorship empire\, led by his father\, trumpeter Marcus Belgrave. It provides a glimpse of Kasan’s endless curiousness of sonic ingenuity. \nIn the formative years of his career\, that same mentorship was present in the musical institutions\, as he studied with Andrew Bishop\, Benny Green\, and Robert Hurst at the University of Michigan then held an assistantship under the direction of Diego Rivera and Rodney Whitaker at Michigan State University. \nKasan has toured as a multi-woodwind instrumentalist with Jazz @ Lincoln Center w/ Wynton Marsalis\, performed in multiple residencies curated by Terri Lynn Carrington\, performed with Karriem Riggins\, and Etienne Charles. The 27-year-old multi-woodwind instrumentalist has also made rounds performing in every corner of the Detroit music scene\, immersing himself in Latin\, R&B\, and techno. \nBelgrave is just one of many who was nurtured in the realm. The lineup for “Dual Citizen” might be the most outright product of that very circle of mentorship. Bassist Jonathan Muir-Cotton\, finishing his degree at MSU\, is currently rotating in Christian Sands Trio; Louis Jones aka “WavyLou”\, a gun-slinging drummer who has the likes of the Haynes’ and Roach’s\, recently hit with ELEW and Johnny O’Neal in Detroit; Brendon Davis\, a virtuosic voice on piano shortly studying with the great Chick Corea\, is established in composition and arranging of the gospel scene ; the enigmatic Allen Dennard has a trailblazing trumpet sound\, recently sharing stages with Dwele and Mike Phillips; and Michael Abbo\, the genial menace on both trombone and bass\, recently played with Johnny Oneal and Dafnis Prieto. The close fellowship of this group is a sentiment to the power of their sound as the Kasan Belgrave Sextet.

The 27-year-old multi-woodwind instrumentalist has also made rounds performing in every corner of the Detroit music scene\, immersing himself in Latin\, R&B\, and techno. \nBelgrave is just one of many who was nurtured in the realm. The lineup for “Dual Citizen” might be the most outright product of that very circle of mentorship. Bassist Jonathan Muir-Cotton\, finishing his degree at MSU\, is currently rotating in Christian Sands Trio; Louis Jones aka “WavyLou”\, a gun-slinging drummer who has the likes of the Haynes’ and Roach’s\, recently hit with ELEW and Johnny O’Neal in Detroit; Brendon Davis\, a virtuosic voice on piano shortly studying with the great Chick Corea\, is established in composition and arranging of the gospel scene ; the enigmatic Allen Dennard has a trailblazing trumpet sound\, recently sharing stages with Dwele and Mike Phillips; and Michael Abbo\, the genial menace on both trombone and bass\, recently played with Johnny Oneal and Dafnis Prieto. The close fellowship of this group is a sentiment to the power of their sound as the Kasan Belgrave Sextet.
