Bassist Brian Juarez is making his first Bird & Beckett appearance. Luis, Ben and Spencer have each crossed our stage on multiple occasions, making memorable music.Luis is a 20-year-old native of Oakland who began playing piano at seven, embarking quickly on a serious study of European Classical and American Classical Music (Jazz). In 2017 he performed Alex Conde’s Concierto Para Piano Flamenco y Orquesta as a soloist with the Oakland Youth Orchestra. In 2019, Luis was awarded a full scholarship to study piano at the New School in New York City. He has studied with and performed with Bay Area figures such as Howard Wiley and Marcus Shelby. Currently, he studies with NYC pianist Sullivan Fortner and SF Conservatory of Music piano professor John McCarthy.A recent video may be found at: youtu.be/FZh_biGAt40$20 cover (cash, please); byob.For a reservation, call the bookshop at 415-586-3733.Luis and his colleagues tonight are superb representatives of the wealth of young talent coming up in the Bay Area, and keeping them working and resident in the Bay Area relies on having a healthy venue landscape in San Francisco, the region’s cultural nexus.
