20 years with Santana after 15 years with Etta James, Dave Mathews first made his mark with three years in Tower of Power. Once he left Tower Of Power he worked on that playing with artists like Pete Escovedo, Sheila E. and Ray Obiedo. Eventually jazz became his great love, though Etta James and Carlos Santana have kept him very busy and happy indeed for decades…

But he’s on break with Santana just now, and he’s having a blast re-integrating to the gigging jazz scene in San Francisco. For his Bird & Beckett date, he’s assembled a killer quartet.

You don’t want to miss out on this.

“Home grown Dave Mathews… he can play everything.” –Etta James

“Dave K Mathews is imperative to the band because he’s got knowledge
of everything from Otis Spann and McCoy Tyner to Randy Weston
and Eddie Palmieri.” –Carlos Santana
