But nothing beats being in the room
with the music & the musicians!
Pearl Ubungen dances in the intimate space of Bird & Beckett within the sound envelope of the San Francisco ensemble led by saxophonist Salim Washington — Scott Foster on guitar, Charles Thomas on bass and Gerald Cleaver on drums. An opportunity to absorb Washington’s “new synoptic vision of what jazz can be and do,” as Dr. Cornell West puts it. Dr. West goes on to say that “the fundamental spirit behind this music…lives on in new ways and novel sounds.â€
This event bringing together Ubungen and Washington unfolds in anticipation of the melding of movement and sound Ubungen has envisioned for an immersive community-based residency exploring the theme of Sacred City: Winter in America. Ubungen and Washington will mark the transition from winter into spring culminating in a ritual performance amongst the ruins of Sutro Baths at Lands End, at 6 pm on March 20th.
Audience capacity is limited; for a reservation, call the bookshop at 415-586-3733. $25 cash cover charge; proof of vaccination, masks required. BYOB.
