The trio returns for their ongoing 3rd Sundays residency at Bird & Beckett. Leader Vince Lateano has been a cornerstone of the San Francisco jazz scene since he arrived in 1966, gigging and touring assiduously for decades before settling in behind the drum kit as the leader of the house band at Jazz at Pearls, the famous club that was situated in North Beach opposite City Lights on Columbus Avenue just off the corner of Broadway. His jam sessions at Pier 23, the Dog Patch Saloon, the Seven Mile House, Sweeties and Bird & Beckett have been a staple of the local jazz world for decades.

Vince’s trio with the great bassist Peter Barshay and the elegant pianist Ben Stolorow has been a feature of Bird & Beckett for years now, harkening back to 1999 when Vince helmed the first trio ever to play in the bookshop shortly after we opened for business in Glen Park. But past is prologue. Plenty of jazz ahead.

Erich Ippen (District 8) sits in on guitar and vocals. A Glen Park local, he’s a fabulous presence on stage.

Bodes well for a great afternoon of small combo jazz.
