There's new stuff cropping up all the time.
* Def check out Yoshis (
www.yoshis.com) both in Oakland and in SF. Big names show up at these places.
*Dogpatch Saloon. Vince Lateano should still be running the sunday jam sessions.
*Savannah Jazz
*Jazz at Pearls
*Amnesia (bar). I think their jam session is still going there. Mitch Marcus runs it. Rumor has it that Joshua Redman showed up a couple times or something like that.
Restaurants that feature jazz:
* Shanghai 1930. Andrew Speight runs the jam sessions on tuesday?
* Ana Mandara
* Bacar (Scott Amendola of TJ Kirk coordinates the music and plays there. Guys like Akira Tana will show up there from time to time).
plenty more I'm sure I forgot to mention.
PM me sometime. Maybe we hang out and have a beer.
