| It's been a while for me but I'll just give you a rundown of where there's stuff going on... you'll have to figure out the time and dates if I don't remember...
* Savanna Jazz - Sunday Nights
* Shanghai 1930 - Tuesday nights?
* Club Deluxe - Used to have jazz & spoken word. Not sure if Dan is still doing it
* Dogpatch Saloon - Sundays? It's "THE" jam. Run by Vince Lateano. I think the crusty vets come here so you better know your stuff.
* Bistro Yoffi or something like that?
* Rassellas
Places to watch:
* Yoshi's Oakland - pretty much the only place that the NYC'ers and big name jazzers will come to play at. Yoshi's is opening a more "local" venue in the Fillmore District sometime soon in SF.
* Jazz At Pearls
* Ana Mandara restaurant
* Bacar restaurant : Guys like Donald Bailey, Scott Amendola, Akira Tana will play there. Local pro's.
Guys to look out for:
Eddie Marshall (drummer)
Glenn Richmann (bass - awesome teacher too)
Mel Martin (sax)
Scott Amendola (drummer): ex - T.J. Kirk
John Schott (guitar): ex - T.J. Kirk
Masha Campagne (singer)
There's more out there obviously. |
