Scott Foster has been bringing jazz to Bird & Beckett for twenty-plus years on Fridays, beginning in late 2002–when it was a weekly engagement for years with the late tenor player Chuck Peterson leading the band. Now, Scott leads his own combos and shares the Fridays with a passel of other bands, still holding down the third Friday of each month, 5:30 to 8:00pm. It’s the cornerstone booking in our jazz calendar.

Scott is a supremely talented and versatile player, composer and jazz educator, always a pleasure to hear.

Come down and find out for yourself.

BYOB and a twenty for the band. Pay just what you can manage, but don’t neglect to help us pay the musicians a fair wage for an evening’s work.

Jazz in San Francisco is a precious asset, and we’re nurturing it here at Bird & Beckett with your help! Your donations to Bird & Beckett’s 501(c)3 nonprofit organization are a big part of what makes it work.

Thanks!
