But nothing beats being in the room
with the music & the musicians!
live jazz in the bookshop every friday
Beginning this July, guitarist Scott Foster leads a quartet of his own in Bird & Beckett’s third-Friday-of-the-month slot… 5:30 to 8:00 pm… no cover charge, but your donations at the shows and your tax-deductible contributions to the Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project make it possible for us to pay the musicians. Bring a few bucks, or several, for the band and show your respect for the tradition and those who keep it alive!
Buy a book to help the shop keep the lights on!
Now in its eleven year, this long-running neighborhood jazz party hasn’t missed a Friday since October 2002!
- First Fridays: Don Prell’s Seabop Ensemble
- Second Fridays: The Jimmy Ryan Quintet
- Third Fridays: The Scott Foster Quartet
- Fourth Fridays: The Chuck Peterson Quintet
Not to be missed!
