Written by Ronaldo Oregano   

"Bobby is one of the best musicians in the world." - McCoy Tyner

Bobby Hutcherson

Easily one of jazz's greatest vibraphonists, NEA Jazz Master Bobby Hutcherson epitomized his instrument in relation to the era in which he came of age the way Lionel Hampton did with swing or Milt Jackson with bop. Bobby Hutcherson's sound and innovative style on the vibraphone helped revitalize the instrument in the 1960s, adding an adventurous new voice to the free jazz and post bop eras. The ensemble for Bobby's birthday celebration features Bobby Hutcherson on Vibraphones, Warren Wolf on Vibrophones, Anthony Wilson on Guitar, Joe Gilman on Piano, Glenn Richman on Bass, and Barry Hutcherson on Drums. They will appear at Yoshi's in San Francisco on Friday, January 20th and Saturday, January 21st.

Kim Nalley and Houston Person

The Grammy-nominated vocalist Kim Nalley possesses a range that spans nearly four octaves, one of many reasons for the critical acclaim that she has garnered throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Kim Nalley can go from operatic to gritty blues on a dime, projection that can whisper a ballad yet is capable of filling a room with no microphone, and has the ability to scat blistering solos without ever losing the crowd's interest or the intense swing. Dubbed “the natural heir to the Boss Tenor crown worn so long and so well by Gene Ammons”, global performer Houston Person knows the music business inside out, from booking his own tours to producing his own albums. As eclectic as he is talented, Person has recorded everything from disco and gospel to pop and r&b, in addition to his trademark, souful hard bop.  Person is known as a master of popular songs played in a relaxed, highly accessible style. These two wonderful performers will play soulful jazz the Rrazz Room at the Nikko Hotel in San Francisco on Tuesday, December 27th trhough Saturday, December 31st. .

Mike Stern Band at Yoshi's, Oakland - 12/9-11 Print E-mail
Written by Ronaldo Oregano   

“For me, jazz does not necessarily mean that it’s better because it’s more complicated. I listen more from the heart for whatever gets me; sometimes it can be the simplest diatonic, one-chord thing with a simple melody that just grabs me.” –Mike Stern
