But nothing beats being in the room
with the music & the musicians!
The first Friday of every month, it’s always Don Prell’s Seabop Ensemble — a fixture in San Francisco’s longest running neighborhood jazz party!
Don has had a six decade love affair with the string bass and jazz, beginning back in the 1950s. That’s when he first made his mark as a mainstay of the Bud Shank quartet, touring internationally and accompanying the likes of vocalist Peggy Lee. Don’s been indulging in public displays of his affection for the music at Bird & Beckett ever since our weekly jazz series began in October 2002… twelve years ago…
In all that time, we’ve never been without live jazz at Bird & Beckett on Fridays — largely because Don has made it happen under the unlikeliest circumstances!
Besides Don on bass, Seabop features three top-notch players — Jerry Logas on reeds and flute, Michael Parsons on piano and Vinnie Rodriguez on drums.
jazz in the bookshop happens every Friday from 5:30 to 8:00 pm.Â
There’s never a cover charge, but your generosity at the gigs
is crucial to help us pay the bands. All ages welcome!
Join your friends and neighbors for a lovely end of the work week tradition.
