Scott Foster Quartet featuring trombonist Mara Fox
Scofo every third Friday in the bookshop and in the stream

Trombonist Mara Fox has amazed audiences all over the world for more than two decades, working in jazz, R&B, Latin and classical contexts. She’s recorded and toured internationally with Conjunto Cespedes, and with the Klezmorim. Locally, she plays with the Pacific Mambo Orchestra (2013 Grammy Award Winner for “Tropical Island” as Best Latin Album), the Montclair Women’s Big Band, The Purple Ones, Paula Harris and the Beasts of Blues. She’s also played with the Berkeley Symphony, the San Francisco Sinfonietta, the Mike Vax Big Band and countless other ensembles.

Tonight, she brings the fire to the Bird & Beckett bandstand with a quartet assembled by Scott Foster, Bird & Beckett’s favorite guitarist bar none since he first crossed our stage right after the turn of the century. Scott has been a regular feature of our programming from the start.

Says Scott, “It will be a fun trip down memory lane for me and a rare opportunity to hear Mara in a small group jazz setting. Viva trombone!”

Note: Watch for our transit in early 2022 to a modestly priced paid live stream on Bandcamp. They’re doing good things to support local artists financially and in terms of visibility, and are well regarded in the jazz community. We value your feedback and hope you’ll find our move to Bandcamp as a live streaming platform a great way to support San Francisco Bay Area musicians and Bird & Beckett.

You’ll need an account there, but we’re pretty certain you’ll find it worth the effort and commitment. Check them out at Bandcamp.com. Let us hear from you once our live stream gets rolling there in January! Thanks!
