In the course of his career in jazz, Ron Vincent has played with such luminaries as Bob Brookmeyer, Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Art Farmer, Bill Charlap and Randy Brecker, to name a few. In 1989, Ron joined the Gerry Mulligan Quartet — touring and recording five CDs with Mulligan’s quartet as well as re-recording the historic 1949-51 “Birth Of The Cool” music. He fronts trios and quartets on both coasts, with New York City his home base since 1982. Facilitating his west coast work, Ron and his wife recently established a second home on the coast just south of San Francisco. Out of New York City, he tours nationally and internationally with the Bill Mays Trio.
Catch Ron tonight with top San Francisco jazz players well known to Bird & Beckett audiences — guitarist Brad Buethe, pianist Ben Stolorow and bassist Jeff Saxton. And mark your calendar for January 18th, when Ron will be back at Bird & Beckett for a trio date with the up-and-coming SoCal saxophonist Tim Armacost and bassist Peter Barshay. Plan to catch Ron around that time at some of the larger venues in the region, touring with the Bill Mays Trio.
