PHILADELPHIA — While watching Justin Bethel play the drums, one can’t help but notice there are moments when the Patriots special teams ace fixates on his bandmates, whether it be guitarist Jonathan Knott or his younger brother Gabriel on the trumpet.
On this Saturday evening, Bethel is on a stage much smaller than the one he plays on in the fall at Gillette Stadium. He’s performing with House of Bethel, a jazz band he and Gabriel founded with their older brother Dione seven years ago. The trio released an album and expanded, adding Knott, bassist Tim Khayat, and pianist Jonathan Lovett.
