Straight ahead jazz with Tom Bekeny and the Missing Man Quartet
If you like be-bop inflected interpretations of Jazz and Great American Songbook standards, and you like to hear these tunes played on mandolin, drums, guitar and seven string bass, and if you are in the SF Bay Area this Friday 5/26, then Britt-Marie's in Albany CA is the place to be to be. Join Tom Bekeny (mandolin) and the Missing Man Quartet (Craig Griffeath bass, Steve Gallagher guitar, and special guest Bill Lanphier drums) for a night of tunes by composers such as Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Jerome Kern, Miles Davis and Django Reinhardt.
Under new ownership, Britt Marie's (1369 Solano Ave, Albany), is becoming a lively East Bay cultural spot featuring wine tastings, poetry readings, art exhibits and live music (http://brittmariesolano.com). There is no cover and we start at 8pm. Hope to see you.
