It’s no surprise to see Tampa Bay’s EMIT collective bringing in some Brazilian jazz, but pianist and keyboardist Adolfo Mendonça—part of a quartet that features La Lucha’s Alejandro Arenas (bass) and Mark Feinman (drums) alongside esteemed vocalist and songwriter Ona Kirei—manages to work a lot of rock into his hybrid acoustic-electric sound.

Tickets to see Adolfo Mendonça Quartet return to Studio@620 in St. Petersburg on Sunday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m. are still available for $10-$15.
