The Pickle Mafia is (left to right) Marco Cirigliano, Charlie Lindner, and Ben Chilbert. If you’re looking for a way to spice up your holiday season, jazz pianist-turned-picklemonger Charlie Lindner has two ways to make it happen. There is his dynamic piano trio The Pickle Mafia, and the habanero, jalapeno and ghost pepper-flavored pickles of the same name. On Dec. 18, the band will ring in the yuletide as well as bassist Ben Chilbert’s 30th birthday with a live-streamed concert. The progressive, hard-grooving group will play two sets, at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., on Facebook Live. An inventive composer-arranger and a fluid player, Lindner plays jazz that’s unpredictable but always harmonically satisfying, if a little experimental. And the highly skilled rhythm section, rounded out by Marco Cirigliano, adds a tinge of funk to the proceedings.
