Premiere screenings of an album-length concert film by Charlie Weinmann, capturing the August 2025 Lodge Room performance that became guitarist/band leader Jeff Parker's new ETA IVtet album, Happy Today, will take place in select cities in late April and early May, before the album's release on May 15. The film will be released worldwide on May 29. Details and links for premiere screenings below.

Happy Today was recorded live at Lodge Room in Los Angeles on August 20, 2025. It's the sound of Parker and the rest of the IVtet—drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, and saxophonist Josh Johnson—adapting their form-bending, minimalist, improvisatory approach to a larger space than their previous home-base, the now-shuttered micro-club ETA, without sacrificing their hypnotic power. The album comprises two sprawling, LP side–length improvisatory pieces, recorded and mixed live by engineer Bryce Gonzales on a custom-made tape rig, capturing a moment of brightness in dark times. You can pre-order the album here.

In August, Parker and the ETA IVtet will do a run of Happy Today album release shows in California that includes a show at The Freight in Berkeley on August 22 and a three-night stand in-the-round at Lodge Room in Los Angeles, August 23–25, almost exactly one year after the album was recorded in the very same place.
