Leader & drummer Vince Lateano has been an invaluable part of the San Francisco scene since he came to the City in the mid-1960s. He quickly found his place in the local jazz scene, playing, recording and touring with Vince Guaraldi, subbing around town for John Markham when Markham went on the road with Sinatra and other major acts, and working extensively with Cal Tjader, Eddie Duran, Chet Baker, Clare Fisher and a host of others through the years. Later, all through the 1990s ’til it closed as such in 2003, he was the house drummer at Jazz at Pearl’s in North Beach, playing with his own trio several nights a week and backing up any number of musicians appearing as headliners on the weekends.

He’s rolled on from there in that same vein all across the region, and has also been a great and charming session leader locally, running jazz jams at Pier 23 on the Embarcadero, the Dogpatch Saloon down on 3rd Street, the 7 Mile House on Bayshore near the Cow Palace, Sweeties near the wharf. On the last Sunday of the month, you’ll find him running a jam session here at Bird & Beckett with this trio — Peter on bass and Ben on piano — giving room and sage advice to players young and old.

His trio plays its own date on the third Sunday of each month, from 5:30 to 7:30pm.
