BIRD & BECKETT CULTURAL LEGACY PROJECT
From 8-10pm, Mean to Me, a quintet steeped in classic tunes of the 1940s and ’50s, takes the stage. Judy Butterfield handles the vocals, with Ben Slater on saxophone and piano, Dave Schaff on trumpet, Sam Heminger on bass and Cairo McCockran on drums. A wonderful band.
From 5 to 7pm, six young musicians — students at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and University of California at Berkeley — field a jazz ensemble assembled by the young Vietnamese guitarist Tri Pham. With Tri are Ryan Ancheta, trumpet (UC Berkeley); Trent Horio, tenor sax (SFCM); Sean Walters McDonald, bass (SFCM); EJ Brannan, drums (UC Berkeley); and Nhi Do, vocals. Donations appreciated!
$25 cover for the late show; byob.
