Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for Late Nights at Monks | Miguel Rodriguez Jr Trio feat. Issac Smelcer Zhang! Miguel Rodriguez Jr – Bass Issac Smelcer Zhang – Guitar João Camargo – Piano Spencer Frye – Drums Originally from Brownsville, Texas, Miguel arrived at Austin in the Fall of 2025 in pursuit of his master’s degree in jazz performance under the direction of Diego Rivera. Since then, he has quickly risen as one of the top call bassists in the Austin area and has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with local and national luminaries such as: Gerry Gibbs, Joel Frahm, Scott Robinson, Paul Deemer, Ruby Laks, Elias Haslanger, Andre Hayward, Aubrey Logan and Kate Kortum. Please join Miguel’s debut show as a bandleader where he’ll share the stage with some of Austin’s best and brightest young artists. Please Note: MONKS JAZZ IS NOW A FULL SERVICE BAR. As part of this transition, Monks Jazz is no longer a BYOB venue. We invite you to enjoy our thoughtfully curated beverage menu and roll with us through the changes! Monks prides itself as a listening room, but late night sessions are always a time to enjoy yourselves a bit more. Free parking is available in the area. Doors at 10:45 PM, Show 11:00 PM.
