Philip Charos’ Greek-American indie-rock and pop project H​á​ros released a debut EP in February, but this weekend, he’s behind the drums as part of a jazz trio alongside guitarist Alex Malcovich and bassist Noel Reyes.

Together, they’ll play music by John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. It’ll swing, and wear some Afro-Cuban influence, when the band works through a set that includes highly improvisational elements.

“It’s going to be very artistic, but vibey, not chaotic as one might assume when they hear the word ‘free,’” Charos told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.

There’s no cover to see Philip Charos Trio play In Between Days in St. Petersburg on Sunday, May 14.
