Rique Pantoja Rio Jazz Quintet (9:00), King Daddy & the Flat Five (6:00)

As might be inferred from his band’s name, Rique Pantoja is a Rio de Janeiro native. Educated at Berklee College of Music and based in Los Angeles, the keyboardist, songwriter, and singer has written music for television shows and commercials, and worked with everyone from fellow Brazilian icons Flora Purim, Airto, and Djavan to Carlos Santana, Ricky Martin, and classical guitarist Christopher Parkening. Pantoja has already graced the stages of Monks and Parker Jazz Club, so it’s only right that he brings his Brazilian jazz quintet to the Elephant Room to complete the ATX jazz troika. – Michael Toland
