5/17/26, Sunday, 5pm: The Vince Lateano Trio with guest vocalist Ernest East.
($20 suggested donation, students $10 suggested; pay what you can).

Singer Ernest East has been on the scene off and on for five decades and never fails to charm; we’re always glad to invite him back. Come discover a hidden treasure!

As for Vince Lateano, he’s been a genial force here in San Francisco since he rousted out of the army in 1965 and moved into town in 1966; he’s been featured at Bird & Beckett since we got rolling in 1999.

 

 

Nowadays, Vince has a 6X per year residency with his trio (Ben Stolorow, piano; Peter Barshay, bass) on the 3rd Sunday of each month in the odd numbered months (May, July, September, November, January, March).

The trio returns to conduct a jam session on the last Sunday of each month, in the same 5-7pm time slot.
