From 8:30-10pm, Friday, August 16th, catch local prodigies, now NYC-based rising jazz stars Eytan & Gabriel Schillinger-Hyman with their quartet featuring Langston Hughes II on sax and Michael Mitchell  on drums. $20 cover charge (cash or venmo at the door); byob; reservations, call 415-202-4870.

Friday the 16th from 6-8pm Scott Foster kicked off this third weekend in August with his Happy Hour Combo. He mixes up a fresh jazz cocktail for Bird & Beckett regulars every third Friday of the month. Scott’s trio this time out featured drummer Omar Aran and bassist Ollie Dudek, indulging us with jazz classics, standards, bebop, blues and beyond.

As a rule of thumb, you’ll never go far wrong if you BYOB and a twenty for the band. Can’t squeeze out a twenty at this moment in time? Pay what you can. Kids free, teens and music students under age 22 get in for five or ten.

Rolling in dough? Subsidize jazz at Bird & Beckett with your donations to the Cultural Legacy Project. If it won’t hurt you, then it stands to reason it won’t hurt you! And it’s oh-so-good for the culture.
