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.

Also, earlier this day our beloved Jaz Sawyer will be giving a workshop at the Jazz School. Any young drummers looking for an insight into Jaz or Jazz should definitely attend:

  • March 8th, 8pm at the Makeout Room. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!! We’re playing with Graham Connah’s “Admiral Ted Brinkley; semi ret.” They are amazing; definitely one of our favorite bands in town and they always blow you away.

Jaz Sawyer All Stars:

  • March 4th at Club Deluxe (9:30pm) featuring a sharp cast of the SF jazz scene. Who will be playing? You’ll have to show up to find out, but you won’t be disappointed.

Eaton Barics Quintet:
