Friday, May 31st - 57th Street Gallery, Oakland
Time: 830p - 11p
"A friendly, unpretentious spot where people of all ages and cultures are going to hear great jazz. 57th Street Gallery is providing the missing ingredient that has largely disappeared from America. Real musicians playing real music. The place pulses with life", says J.S. of San Rafael, CA.
Nicolas Bearde and his stellar trio will perform songs from his " Live at Yoshi's" album - a salute to the late, great Lou Rawls, as well as selected songs from his latest CD, "Visions". From timeless jazz standards to up-tempo and vibrant new selections, an evening with Nicolas Bearde is as good as it gets. On board for this performance will be Glen Pearson on keys, Mark Williams on bass and Leon Joyce, Jr. on drums.
