But nothing beats being in the room with the music & the musicians!

Thursday, October 21 – 7:30 pm
Come out to Bird & Beckett for our
Dizzy Gillespie Birthday Bash!

A spectacular sextet celebrates a true genius of jazz. Trumpeter Geechi Taylor and flautist/percussionist/session leader John Calloway have assembled an all-star band for the occasion. Drummer Josh Jones joins the fun, along with conguero Akheel Mestayer, bassist Gary Brown and pianist Ken Cook. Guaranteed cooking bop and afro-latin jazz music of the highest order!

BYOB, and bring $30 cash for tonight’s sextet! We’re guaranteeing a fair wage to the musicians, such that it takes 30 people at $30 each to meet that for six musicians–and we’ve found that our practical safe & comfortable capacity in the shop, vaxxed & masked, is 30.

So grab your cash, vax card & mask and come down to Bird & Beckett to celebrate Dizzy and the San Francisco jazz musicians that play in his honor tonight!

If you’re watching in the stream, thanks for helping us bring the music to you through the cyberwires by donating online! Find the stream on Bird & Beckett’s YouTube channel or Facebook page.

Seating starts 10 minutes before showtime, and a full house is likely — so call the shop for a reservation: (415) 586-3733!
