Houston: DOMi and JD Beck at The Heights Theater
September 9 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
DOMi and JD Beck bring their virtuosic jazz-fusion chemistry to The Heights Theater in Houston on September 9, with the show starting at 7 PM. The duo — French keyboardist DOMi Louna and drummer JD Beck — met as teenagers and quickly became one of the most talked-about young acts in jazz, known for blistering technical interplay that draws equally from bebop, funk, and hip-hop.
Their 2022 debut album “NOT TiGHT,” released on Anderson .Paak’s Apeshit imprint, featured guest turns from Thundercat, Mac DeMarco, and Herbie Hancock, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album. Beck, who grew up between Louisiana and Dallas, built a reputation for jaw-dropping drum solos posted online before he was even out of his teens, while DOMi trained classically before finding her way into jazz and fusion. Together they’ve built a live show around tight, telepathic improvisation that has drawn comparisons to genre forebears like Weather Report and Return to Forever.
The pair has toured behind some of the biggest names in music, including a high-profile stint in Anderson .Paak’s band and studio sessions with artists across jazz, R&B, and pop. Their Houston stop at The Heights Theater, a restored 1920s theater in the city’s Heights neighborhood, puts their instrumental fireworks in an intimate room built for close listening — a notable draw for the city’s jazz and fusion fans given how rarely acts of this caliber play rooms this size.
DOMi and JD Beck continue to build on the momentum of “NOT TiGHT” with new material and festival appearances that have widened their audience well beyond jazz purists. Fans in Houston can also check The Heights Theater’s full concert calendar on Texas Music Map for more upcoming shows at the venue.
The show begins at 7 PM. The Heights Theater is located at 339 W 19th Street in Houston’s Heights neighborhood, with limited on-site parking and several nearby lots; arriving early is recommended given the venue’s compact size.
