The bassist Giulio Xavier Cetto and the pianist Javier Santiago, both prominent figures on the San Francisco jazz scene, share an apartment here in San Francisco; fortunately, that cohabitating status allows us to book them as a duo for our live stream series, and we welcome them back!

Javi and Giulio are among the finest young gigging jazz musicians in town and we’re happy that we can give them an audience via the live stream and a chance to replace a bit of the gigging income that’s been lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Their third housemate, Nico, will be along, and the only other person in the room besides the musicians and the proprietor, bringing his rig to give you optimum picture and sound quality for this performance.

Our live stream series started Friday the 13th of March, with saxohonist Michael Zilber’s trio with drummer Jason Lewis, joined by bassist Tyler Harlow. At that point, the pandemic was first really registering with San Franciscans and their political and DPH leadership. The night before New York based Berkeley High alums Jessica and Tony Jones had played to a small audience without benefit of the live stream, and then flew quickly home. Giulio and Javier joined with guitarist Kai Lyons for a wonderful show on March 21st, the last of our shows that wasn’t restricted to soloists and cohabitating musicians. Giulio and Javi last performed in a live stream duo performance here on April 10th. In the six weeks since the series began, we’re kept jazz flowing live to the community over a span of some 21 performances.

If you’re donating online during the show,  we’ll assume your donation is for the show.

The first $400 in donations to this show goes to the duo, then the venue takes $100; after that 2/3 of all donations go to the duo.
Should donations fall short of $400, Bird & Beckett will pick up the slack to meet the duo’s guarantee.
