A very big week wraps up Sunday 5/19/24 at Bird & Beckett with the monthly, third-Sundays 5-7pm residency of the Vince Lateano Trio (Ben Stolorow, piano; Peter Barshay, bass; Vince Lateano, drums) — with special guest John Calloway on flute and small percussion.

Catch the video here!

— A late show Friday 8:30-10pm with young trumpeter Ryan Ancheta leading a quartet with a rhythm section comprising Jacob Egan on piano; Sedge Green on bass; and Cole Stark on drums,  with guest trumpeter Sai Ray helping close out the show! Adults, $20 cover; age 18 and under, $10. Here’s the video of that one.

And here’s the video of Tiffany and her trio on the Bird & Beckett stage.

Tiffany is rightfully a star of the jazz festival circuit and high profile venues all over! You’ll know why once you’ve heard her and especially once you’ve caught her live in a major venue. We’re proud to present her here and are sure we’ll have an opportunity to welcome her back somewhere along the jazz road she’s on, so don’t miss her next appearance at Bird & Beckett! It’s a relaxed and atmospheric environment in which to enjoy exquisite jazz from a formidable talent.
