full details in the posts below!

Kalil Amar Wilson / Javier Santiago Duo on Saturday, 12/5

Fabulous music time and again at Bird & Beckett.

It’s a time of few gigs and little gig income, so please help us pay the Bay Area’s treasured professional musicians!

Enlist your friends in the effort to provide a decent paycheck on these outings. If you’re making a living in these times, help us see to it that our dedicated and treasured artists get a decent piece of change for their work.

Jazz Philanthropists! We’re beseeching you! If your pockets are deep, we need your help.

Help us forge a true Jazz Philanthropists Union that will underwrite not just a simple guarantee of $150 per musician per gig — a standard which we’ve stuck to steadfastly in these live streams for many months now — but also the costs inherent in getting a good live stream going and keeping it going. It takes some serious dough, and we need you! With a lot of help, we’ve made great strides there for all to see. The evidence is all on our facebook page at the videos tab.

Here’s what it was like the night after Thanksgiving at Bird & Beckett and live streamed into homes everywhere when the Tony Johnson Quartet, aka Tony Johnson’s 230 Jones Street Irregulars took the stage… (you’ll be well rewarded if you can play it back on a good sound system with a good screen, but a little phone will do in a pinch)
