Lisa B and the Reverberant Band

Saturday, November 16, 7:30-10 at Bird & Beckett

Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein) celebrates the release of her seventh record, Reverberant: Poems & Music Accompanying Lisa B’s spoken and sung verse will be Ben Flint and Scott R. Looney, both on  piano & keyboards; Marcus Shelby, bass; and Isaac Schwartz, drums.

The new record’s theme of reverberation links jazz stories with tales of spiritual self-realization. In a departure from Lisa B’s previous albums  – which feature her jazz vocals and poetic rap in original songs and standards – Reverberant is grounded in her free-verse poems, spiced with singing and musical compositions created with stellar Bay Area musicians. Many of the poems appeared in esteemed literary journals, such as Kenyon Review. The evening’s performance will also include tunes from Lisa B’s 2018 record, I Get A Kick: Cole Porter Reimagined, as well as other fan favorites, such as “Joe Williams Died Walking/Every Day I Have the Blues” and “Holiday in Oakland.”

This is a Guaranteed Fair Wage Fund event where each musician will be paid $150 in advance, regardless of ticket sales. Jazz in the Neighborhood makes this possible by subsidizing 40% of their pay. Bird & Beckett and the Jazz Philanthropists Union guarantees the rest. The $20 cover charge at the door is a crucial component of that guarantee, though a sliding scale is available to those who need avail themselves of it. For tickets and other information, please contact Bird & Beckett.

Grant Levin Trio featuring Denise Perrier

Friday, November 8, 5:30-8 pm at Bird & Beckett

Denise Perrier, the voice with a heart, sings with pianist Grant Levin’s fine trio, featuring veteran bassist Dean Reilly and the young drummer Genius “G-Dub” Wesley in a program that’s guaranteed to delight.

Jazz in the Neighborhood’s Guaranteed Fair Wage Fund will provide a subsidy for this date, allowing Bird & Beckett to pay a “fair wage” of $150 per musician for this engagement, double their regular guarantee on a Friday evening! The $20 cover charge at the door is a crucial component of that guarantee, though a sliding scale is available to those who need avail themselves of it. The Guaranteed Fair Wage Fund was established with the aim of raising gigging musicians’ wage standards so they can afford to stay in this very expensive city and region. Your donations to Jazz in the Neighborhood and to the Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project make it possible to keep live jazz happening in the Bay Area.

For tickets and other information, please contact Bird & Beckett.
