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

Friday, April 8th – 5:30-8:00 pm
Noah Schenker Quartet

jazz in the bookshop every Friday!

Noah Schenker, one of San Francisco’s premier bassists, fields a quartet featuring some of the Bay Area’s finest jazz musicians — guitarist Jack Riordan, pianist Adam Shulman and drummer Jon Arkin — keeping the jazz flame burning at San Francisco’s longest running weekly jazz party.  Never a missed Friday since late 2002, and still going strong!

In no small tribute to the Bird & Beckett audience, San Francisco’s top jazz musicians are always happy to play for you here. Come with some dough to help us reward them for their efforts! Not even our musicians are immune to the high cost of living in the Bay Area, and well deserve your support. In turn, they’ll reward you with very fine music bursting with creativity and sheer talent.
