Vince Lateano, a Sacramento kid, has been a mainstay of the San Francisco jazz scene since he rousted out of the U.S. Army in 1965. The drummer Johnny Markham subbed out jobs to him when Markham went out on the road with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, so Vince worked a lot right from the beginning at spots like El Matador, the Jazz Workshop, Sugar Hill, the Black Hawk, you name it, and soon was subbing out gigs himself while he went out on the road with the likes of Woody Herman and Earl “Fatha” Hines. For years, Vince led the house band at Pearl’s, on Columbus Avenue in the heart of North Beach, and has led a long succession of jam sessions, at Pier 23, the Dogpatch Saloon, the Seven Mile House and continues that tradition the last Sunday of every month at Bird & Beckett. His trio has its own date on the third Sunday of each month, each time out with a special guest.

Be part of San Francisco jazz history and make the third Sunday of each month with the Vince Lateano Trio at Bird & Beckett a habit!
