Jazz Beat: Roger Wilder Trio, at Take Five Coffee + Bar

Pianist Roger Wilder this weekend wraps up his month of hosting the Sunday Jazz Brunch at Take Five. His playing — with such no-holds-barred groups as Parallax — covers the jazz gamut, from classic ballads to intelligent, contemporary arrangements. (And he’s got a fun side: Ask him to play a few bars of the theme to The Simpsons.) Sunday, he’s joined by bassist Seth Lee and the too infrequently heard saxophonist David Chael, whose solos punch and pull with grace. Chael, who holds a chair with the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra, performs with Wilder in the lauded Westport Art Ensemble. This combined performance — during daylight, no less — is a treat. A latte makes it even better.
