It’s the Sunday happy hour show at Bird & Beckett, bring something to sip and pay what you can. Bring a snack for yourself or bring some food to share. Stay for a tune, stay for a set, stay for the evening. $20 is nice, but you decide what it’s worth, and what you can afford; students $0 to $10, your call; kids free.
This long-running association of musicians held forth for years at the Club Deluxe on Haight Street. We’re still waiting for that great spot to be resurrected. In the meantime, you can recapture a bit of the magic — or capture it for your very first time — when saxophonist Smith Dobson fronts a rhythm section well known to Bird & Beckett regulars. Relax awhile with some fine bebop, hard bop, post bop, the new thing… some swing… This is San Francisco jazz for a Sunday summer afternoon.
