Night 3 of the Minaret Winter Jazz Festival takes place at Healing Force’s new, expanded home at G-Son Studios in Atwater Village. The evening offers a special sneak preview of the venue, which is currently under construction ahead of its anticipated official launch in 2027. A rebuild within the historic G-Son Studios (once home to The Beastie Boys), the space marks an exciting new chapter for Healing Force and its ongoing commitment to Los Angeles independent music.
A Sunday double bill! The evening opens with a quartet led by stalwart bassist and composer Billy Mohler, featuring guitarist Jeff Parker, alto saxophonist Devin Daniels, and drummer Justin Brown. The second set brings drummer Jonathan Pinson’s Boom Clap to the stage. Led by Pinson, the collaborative ensemble features David Otis, Andrew Renfroe, Neon Phoenix, Brandon Cordoba, and Melo Gía.
Minaret is an independent jazz label and event series based in Los Angeles, founded by Egyptian-American artist Yousef Hilmy in late 2019. Symbolized from the Arabic منارة (lighthouse, source of light), we use an open source approach to publish creative music, produce concerts in LA + beyond, foster community/collaboration, and connect progressive art practices to the public.
