Program Description
Mono Space premieres a concert film of the Lodge Room performance that became Jeff Parker ETA IVtet’s Happy Today , for the upcoming release on International Anthem. The film, by Charlie Weinmann, offers a rare opportunity to see Parker and the elusive ETA IVtet in action.
Guitarist / bandleader Jeff Parker announces Happy Today, the third album from his long-running ETA IVtet, out May 15 via International Anthem / Nonesuch. Recorded and mixed at Lodge Room in Los Angeles on August 20, 2025, Happy Today is the sound of Parker and the rest of the IVtet — drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, and saxophonist Josh Johnson — engaged in their signature, minimalist, form-bending improvisational syntax across two sprawling, LP side-length pieces.
