Jazz in the San Francisco Bay Area

[bluenoter]

I already have tix for the Dec 13 early show and this on Dec 10:
'A Love Supreme' Symposium
Jazz author Ashley Kahn, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and special guests will gather to discuss the development, impact and influence of Coltrane’s masterwork on the music world, the jazz scene in the Bay Area, and its role as one of the definitive artistic statements of the 20th century.

Should probably pick up one more show, too. Going to be a great week!

Thanks, Brooks. Here's a link for the symposium:

Roy Ayers

Saturday, November 22, 2014 - Shows at 8:00 & 10:00pm


Vibraphonist/vocalist Roy Ayers is among the best-known, most loved and respected jazz/R&B artist on the music-scene today.

Roy Edward Ayers, Jr. was born in Los Angeles, California on September 10, 1940. Music has always been in his genes. His mother, Ruby, was a schoolteacher and local piano instructor and his father, Roy Sr., was a sometimes-parking attendant and trombonist.

In the 1960's, Roy was an award-winning jazz vibraphonist but soon transferred into a popular R&B band leader in the 1970's and 80's. Today, the dynamic music man is an iconic figure still in great demand.

Now in his fourth decade in the music business, Ayers, known as the Godfather of Neo-soul, continues to bridge the gap between generations of music lovers. In the 60’s he was an award-winning jazz vibraphonist, and transformed into a popular R&B band leader in the 70's/80's.

Today, the dynamic music man is an iconic figure still in great demand and whose music industry heavyweights, including Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, 50 Cent, A Tribe Called Quest, Tupac and Ice Cube. Ayers recently recorded with hip hop artist Talib Kweli (produced by Kanye West) and jazz/R&B singer Wil Downing.

Damn. Thanks, Mike. I'm quoting your post in this thread about the subject:

Has Anyone Congratulated Our Peterdubya?

[Ron Thorne]

Well, this news certainly sucks!

Man, 6 months is hardly enough time to get a relationship established with the vendors. Was the paint even dry?

[BFrank]

That WAS quick! As Ron said, doesn't seem like they gave it enough rope.
Sounds like its future is still up in the air, though.

Good luck, Peter!

[ValerieB]

apparently they were deep into the red when they started out. doesn't make much sense, does it?

Nope..........sure doesn't Val. I wonder what they were thinking?

[peterdubya]

It was a mess.

We'll talk soon

I definitely do, bluenoter, and have been a member for about 5 years, as well.
Not only that ... I live next door to the SFJAZZ Center!

One of the places I visit in the United States from time to time is the Bay Area. For jazz, among other things, I found this cool map: https://yaymusicmap.com/location/sfbay. Created by a person named/using the handle Kyle Pennell. There's still come jazz at Yoshi's in Oakland https://eventbritesites.com/community/yoshis, but a lot of it is elsewhere these days, like The Sound Room http://soundroom.org/ and Piedmont Piano Company http://piedmontpiano.com/ and the JazzSchool https://cjc.edu/. Something of a "master list" here: https://kcsm.org/datebookmanager/index.php
