David Parker Quintet

The David Parker Quintet is a Bay Area jazz ensemble led by bassist and arranger David Parker, appearing at Sheba Piano Lounge in the Fillmore. Centered on the true jazz tradition, the group focuses on bebop and hard‑bop repertoire associated with classic Blue Note and Prestige recordings, emphasizing driving swing, intricate harmonies, and lyrical improvisation. A longtime mainstay at Sheba, Parker’s quintet is known for polished, acoustically rich sets that match the lounge’s intimate, Ethiopian‑inspired setting and attentive listening crowd.
