But nothing beats being in the room
with the music & the musicians!

play the music of Billy Strayhorn

Autosave-File vom d-lab2/3 der AgfaPhoto GmbH

Every third Friday, guitarist Scott Foster brings in a newly constituted ensemble for the occasion.

On March 21st, saxophonist David Boyce, bassist Scott Chapek and drummer Tom Hassett will join Scott to explore the compositions of Billy Strayhorn.  

Strayhorn was a significant force behind the beautiful music of Duke Ellington, working with Ellington from 1938 until his own death in 1967 composing Lush Life, Take the A Train, Chelsea Bridge, Satin Doll and many more iconic tunes.

Jazz in the bookshop… every Friday without fail.  San Francisco’s longest running neighborhood jazz party!  Scott’s monthly Bird & Beckett sessions draw on the fantastic pool of jazz musicians that populate this little berg, from his years of experience gigging and teaching around town.  One day we’ll realize what a golden era of jazz it is in San Francisco!  Don’t be shy to make it out to Bird & Beckett’s Friday and Sunday sessions…
