Blending science, history, technology, and storytelling, this program offers a fresh perspective on evolution and extinction. Happy Hour drinks are available.

Keith Jarrett "The Köln Concert"
Eat.sleep.jazz turns the spotlight on Keith Jarrett’s 1975 recording The Köln Concert, often cited as the most successful solo jazz album. For this installment, Bill Brooks fills in for Teddy. An opening segment explores how Jarrett transformed a less-than-ideal piano and deep fatigue into a melodic, improvisational journey that weaves together elements of jazz, classical, and folk. The album is then played on a high-fidelity sound system for an uninterrupted listen, revealing intimate details like the pulse of Jarrett’s footwork, his vocal murmurs, and the resonant shimmer of the piano strings. The result captures the recording’s intensity and clarity, inviting a reflective, immersive experience. A $10 donation supports Center For Recorded Music, a 501(c)(3), and includes entry, complimentary snacks and beverages, plus one complimentary adult drink with choices that include beer, wine, mixed drinks, and nonalcoholic options.
