Make it a habit! The Vince Lateano Trio plays the third Sunday of every month at Bird & Beckett! Tell your friends to meet you at San Francisco’s southernmost jazz joint & literary parlor!

Vince is a 60-year veteran of the San Francisco jazz scene. Born, raised and introduced to jazz in Herb Caen’s home town of Sacramento, Vince rousted out of the Army in 1965 while the Vietnam War exploded. He immediately became a fixture on the local jazz scene, playing all the clubs in North Beach and all the concentric circles beyond, traveling the country with Woody Herman, perched on the drum throne in Cal Tjader’s final quartet in the early 1970s, leading the Jazz at Pearls house trio in the 1990s, running the jam session at the Dogpatch Saloon in the twenty-aughts and the doghouse jam at the Seven Mile House in the twenty-teens, and holding down the fort in all the spots where jazz swings San Francisco culture, like Pier 23, Sweetie’s Art Bar, you name it…

Catch the trio at Bird & Beckett on the last Sunday of each month as well– when they conduct one of the friendliest jam sessions in town.

This Sunday the band welcomes Ryan Ancheta as their guest on the trumpet!

On the third Sunday of each month,
it’s all about the art of the trio,
often with guests dropping in,
announced and otherwise…

Vince Lateano, drums
Peter Barshay, bass
Ben Stolorow, piano

BYOB and a twenty for the trio!
