Two Performances This Week

At SFJAZZ, Wednesday, March 29th 7pm:

Come enjoy the final date of the Spring 2023 Discover Jazz series, celebrating women artists during Women's History Month! Multi-talented guitarist/composer and SFJAZZ educator Terrence Brewer curated these exceptional concert presentations and it's been an honor (and an education) to be included in the performances. This week, the highlighted artists will be Marian MacPartland, Michele Rosewoman, Jessica Williams, Eliane Elias, Renee Rosnes, Hiromi Uehara, and Marilyn Crispell. And don't miss the Discover Jazz series in general! These concerts present artists and their work in context, historical and musical, and deepen our love and appreciation for the fine art of jazz.

At Hotel Healdsburg, Saturday, April 1st 6-9pm:

Another great jazz supporting city is Healdsburg, and Hotel Healdsburg's ongoing Saturday jazz series features jazz talent from all over the Bay Area (and sometimes beyond!). My trio, featuring Peter Barshay on bass and Greg German on drums, will be there this weekend playing standards, Brazilian music, original music, arrangements of tunes you love...all kinds of exceptionally beautiful music to make you smile. No tickets needed...see you there! Click here for directions

Mr. Tipple's on March 16th!

The title could just as easily read "Mr. Tipple's All Month Long" because, March being the month when we celebrate women's achievements, Mr. Tipple's is hand the calendar over to an entire month of the Bay Area's musical women.

I feel so honored to be a part of it on March 16th, when my ensemble will be playing three sets of favorite grooves propelling my own original music, and music of jazz masters Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Roy Hargrove, and more. On that night I'll be joined by Bay Area legends Gary Brown (bass) and Deszon Claiborne (drums) as well as special guest Erik Jekabson (trumpet), who will also be contributing some of his exceptional original compositions.

And then be sure to go see all the other deeply talented women musicians making music for the rest of the month - you will be so glad not to have missed out on the artistry!
