Lalah Hathaway, Donny\u2019s first-born daughter, is a powerhouse in her own right. She sounded stunning at the Newport Jazz Festival last weekend, and has proven \u2014 on albums like her most recent, Vantablack<\/a> \u2014 that she knows how to make the most of a choice collaboration.<\/p>\n Rounding out the bill are Jamison Ross<\/a>, who won the 2012 Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz International Competition as a drummer, but has made even greater strides as a singer; and Carol Riddick<\/a>, South Philly\u2019s own prolific singer-songwriter, who has worked with everyone from Will Downing to Musiq Soulchild.<\/p>\n Aug. 13 at 7 p.m., The Dell Music Center, 2400 Strawberry Mansion Dr, $79.50; tickets and information<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hannah Marks: Feed the Fire \u2014 Tuesday, Chris\u2019 Jazz Cafe<\/p>\n Rachel Rodgers<\/p>\n \/<\/p>\n Courtesy of the Artist<\/p>\n Bassist Hannah Marks<\/p>\n Hannah Marks<\/a> is a bassist and composer who imbues all of her music with a purposeful stride, and that\u2019s especially true on her sophomore album, Feed the Fire<\/a>. Produced by Jason Moran<\/a>, it\u2019s a showcase for Marks\u2019 deft balance of deep groove and exploratory freedom, brought alive by a dynamic quartet. For this album-release engagement, she\u2019s joined by Jonathan Paik<\/a> on piano and Mark Valdes on drums.<\/p>\n Aug. 11 at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., Chris\u2019 Jazz Cafe, 1421 Sansom Street, $20, with dinner packages; tickets and information<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nazir Ebo \u2014 Friday, Community Education Center<\/p>\n Since we declared Nazir Ebo<\/a> \u201cthe Philadelphia scene\u2019s next breakthrough talent<\/a>\u201d in 2023, he has only kept justifying the praise. Maybe you\u2019ve seen him with Joshua Redman<\/a>, or backing the surrealist electronics artist Salami Rose Joe Louis. But nothing compares to the electric intensity and flexibility of his working band, featuring young signal-scramblers like the guitarist Emmanuel Michael. For this show on the Second Fridays series at the CEC, they\u2019ll draw from Ebo\u2019s terrific recent debut, Beyond<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aug. 14 at 7 p.m., Community Education Center (CEC), 3500 Lancaster Ave, 2nd Floor, $30; tickets and information<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trash Gadget \u2014 Friday and Saturday, Chris\u2019 Jazz Cafe<\/p>\n (Left to Right) drummer Byron Landham, bassist Matthew Parrish, and pianist Orrin Evans in Trash Gadget<\/p>\n Pianist Orrin Evans<\/a>, bassist Matthew Parrish<\/a> and drummer Byron Landham<\/a> share more than 30 years of Philly jazz history: they first convened for a gig at the Blue Moon Jazz Club in the Bourse, and went on to make an album called \u201cThe Trio,\u201d later reissued as Deja Vu<\/a>. The three now travel under the name Trash Gadget, and they\u2019re celebrating a new release this weekend, with a couple of featured guests: trumpeter Duane Eubanks and saxophonist Caleb Curtis.<\/p>\n![\"Bassist\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786278009_524_.jpeg\"\/)
