The first Sunday of each month, from 5pm to 7pm, we host a student jazz combo for a set rolling into a jam session. Turn out today to hear trumpeter Ryan Ancheta, a recent RASOTA graduate now in his freshman year at UC Berkeley, who has pulled together a quintet drawn from the immensely talented students schooled at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music — saxophonist Nico Colucci, pianist Gene Wadsworth, bassist Alan Jones and drummer Miles Turk.

The combo will host the jam session following their set, and students in jazz programs throughout the Bay Area are invited to step up to the bandstand.

Your donations help us pay a small stipend to the combo!
But there’s no cover charge, and no fee to play in the session.
