 Josh Workman
Josh Workman, Thursday, September 7 Speaking of Josh Workman,
here he is leading his own ensemble. Workman has been blazing his way
through just about every spot on the jazz map since he first started
performing in North Beach bars at the tender age of ten. He's earned a
name as one of the Bay Area’s most fiery and versatile players during a
career in which he's played jump blues with swing band Indigo Swing,
gypsy jazz with the Hot Club of San Francisco, funk with New York's
Groove Collective, world music with D’Vash and bop with Larry
Vuckovich.

Ray Obiedo's Urban Latin Jazz Project, Friday-Sunday, September
8-10 Latin guitar master Ray Obiedo emerged during the 1980s as
one of Northern California's most admired and prolific jazz and fusion
musicians, touring with artists like Johnny “Hammond” Smith and Julian
Priester and leading the popular fusion band Kick, with Sheila E. on
drums. Obiedo invades Pearl’s for three exciting nights with his Urban
Latin Jazz Project.

Dave Scott Quartet, Thursday September 14 Led by lyrical, soaring
trumpeter Dave Scott, a member of Boz Scaggs' touring band, the Dave
Scott Quartet offers a foursome of the Bay Area’s most compelling jazz
musicians, including pianist Adam Schulman, bassist Marcus Shelby and
drummer Jeff Mars. In this classic quartet setting, these four locals
stars step out to affirm their status as modern jazz luminaries.

Be.

The Eaton-Barics Quintet, Friday-Sunday, September 15-17 The
"EBQ" 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 saxophone battles of yore. Eaton
and Barics play with the fire of the committed jazz lifers, burning
through original compositions and revered standards.

Jarrett Cherner Trio, Thursday, September 21 The Jarrett Cherner
Trio performs music that’s rooted in the jazz piano tradition and
driven by a fascinating blend of contemporary world influences. Cherner
is a San Francisco native, but his bandmates, bassist Jorge Roeder and
drummer Jorge Pérez-Albela, on the other hand, both hail from
Lima, Peru. The trio will be celebrating the release of their excellent
new CD, Burgeoning.

Veronica Klaus, Thursday September 28 Named “Best Chanteuse” by
the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 2004, vocalist Veronica Klaus
breathes new life into jazz standards and moody soul classics from the
'50s and '60s about love and all that it entails. With a voice that is
both powerful and evocative, she can wrap herself around a song like no
one else.
