The second thing you realize is you can’t get into everything you want. The golden anniversary of the world’s oldest continuously running jazz festival is drawing big crowds. If you bought an arena package, you have your own seat in the Arena, and that’s guaranteed; if someone else nabs it, he or she will vacate, with apologies, when you approach. Everything else is first-come, first-served, and the lines were already long on Friday, the opening night. If you planned to see the Terence Blanchard Quintet at the Night Club at 11:00 and you weren’t already inside for Geoff Keezer and Jim Hall at 9:30, good luck. |

 Gabe Eaton and Rob Barics Friday, August 31st through Sunday, September 2nd, Jazz a Pearl's in San Francisco present the dueling saxes of Gabe Eaton and Rob Barics. The Eaton-Barics Quintet is a mainstream modern jazz ensemble featuring Gabe Eaton and Rob Barics, a pair of hard-blowing, steady swinging saxmen whose talents are regularly featured in the innovative Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra. An evening with the EBQ is a night of bluesy bebop showmanship and dueling horns in the tradition of the legendary saxophone battles of yore. Eaton and Barics play with the fire of the committed jazz lifers, burning through original compositions and revered standards. The sparks fly, all right, but the energy is refined by the special musical empathy that these two young veterans, bandmates for years in ensembles large and small, bring to their work together. |

“Ryan's voice -- warm, wine-dark, and capable of exceptional light and shade -- serves interpretations that you'd happily return to again and again." — Peter Quinn, Jazzwise Magazine  Jackie Ryan Bay Area vocalist Jackie Ryan may not have the reputation of a Jane Monheit, Diana Krall, or Cassandra Wilson, but she has the chops. Dubbed “one of the finest singers to perform at Ronnie's [Scott] since Shirley Horn” by the London Evening Standard, she soared in her Manhattan debut last year at Dizzy’s with her “savvy interpretive jazz vocalizing” (Variety). On August 21st, Ryan celebrates her acclaimed new release, You and the Night and the Music, with a special performance at Yoshi’s featuring sax legend Red Holloway. |
