Apparently there are still a handful of people that haven’t checked Coda out yet!! It’s a beautiful room, amazing food & drinks, great sound…c’mon, get off the back of your laps and head over there. We haven’t met a musician yet that doesn’t completely love playing there. And when it comes to clubs musicians are the harshest critics… or the biggest babies, however you wanna look at it.

The SF Jazz organization has been putting on a jazz-legends tribute once a month at Amnesia. So far they’ve paid tribute to Ray Charles, Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. We have the special pleasure of bringing Sun Ra’s music to their plate…of hotness.

Those who are familiar with our music know that we enjoy a good dabble in the world of Sun Ra; however, on this night we’ll be doing ONLY the music of Sun Ra. Mike has spent tireless hours transcribing a variety of his favorite Arkestra gems for the show…trans-galactic travel will be an inevitability.

We also recommend arriving early to catch a screening of “Space Is The Place” preview below:

In March we’ll be starting a small residency at the Makeout Room (every 2nd Sunday of the month beginning March 8th). In addition to our lovely selves, we will be featuring larger sized bands that focus on arrangements and working out a distinctive group-sound; all in the bebop/modern jazz vein.

The first band to join us for an evening of music is local genius Graham Connah and his group “Admiral Ted Brinkley”: http://www.myspace.com/tedbrinkleysjazzargosy. This evening they will be performing an entire set of Tadd Dameron’s music arranged by Graham for a 10 piece band!

We hope to see you there.
