Friday the 28th, there’s a 6-8pm show (The Tony Johnson Quartet returns!), then an 8:30-10pm show (The Aaron Germain Quartet).

Saturday the 29th, the 7:30-9:30 show features cornet player Marc Caperone driving up from Santa Barbara and trombonist Dan Barrett driving down from Sacramento to co-lead the Unnamable Quartet, a trad jazz outfit with Jeff Hamilton on piano and Benny Amon on drums.

And Sunday the 30th, at 5pm there’s a jam session hosted by the Vince Lateano Trio followed at 8pm by the Ryan Ancheta Quartet, with bassist Marcus Shelby adding star power in support of his mentee Ryan, a fabulous young trumpet player. Ryan has solid sender Greg Jacobs on piano and Ryan’s contemporary Miles Turk on drums. Sylvia Cuenca sez Miles is amazing. No one can question Sylvia’s authority on such a topic!

Just another amazing weekend at Bird & Beckett

Here’s a little something you missed Sunday the 23rd!
