The Grand Illusion, Goodbye Look, and International Anthem present a special screening of this album-length concert film that captures Jeff Parker's ETA IVtet at LA's Lodge Room. Their signature, minimalist, form-bending improvisations were captured live, shot by Charlie Weinmann and recorded/mixed by engineer Bryce Gonzales with a custom-made analog mixer and Nagra stereo tape recorder.
The band's first two critically-acclaimed records were recorded at now-shuttered Los Angeles micro-club ETA. Part laboratory, part low-stakes proving ground, ETA was where the band’s sound coalesced during a storied seven-year Monday night residency. With their new album, "Happy Today," (releasing on May 15) that sound, honed from an intimate setting, is scaled up for larger audience at Lodge Room. But the alchemical musical communication between guitarist Jeff Parker, drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, and saxophonist Josh Johnson, remains intact and as hypnotic and deeply-tuned as ever.
