Close Details Sunday, July 19, 2026 7:00PM Omar Sosa Quarteto Americanos We Are Not The Headliner Album Release Celebration 2026 Omar Sosa 7-time Grammy-nominated Cuban composer, pianist and bandleader Omar Sosa celebrates the debut album with his East Bay-based Latin-world-jazz-groove project Quarteto Americanos , featuring saxophone master Sheldon Brown , drummer extraordinaire Josh Jones , and heavyweight baby bassist Ernesto Mazar Kindelán . The recording, entitled We Are Not The Headliner , captures the very heart of Quarteto Americanos, a sonic universe in which Latin roots converge with the worlds of jazz, classical, and hip-hop. It’s a deeply personal sound built on the art of dialogue – a steady, soulful conversation between friends who share a common bond with complete freedom and humility. It’s a musical landscape both sophisticated and authentically grounded. Omar Sosa is a Cuban-born pianist, composer, and bandleader whose musical horizons span world jazz, Cuban, Caribbean, Latin American, European, and African traditions. Over a three-decade career including some 38 recordings, Sosa has gained a devoted following, while garnering numerous commissions and residencies, Rockefeller Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts support, the Smithsonian Lifetime Achievement Award, two BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards, four Grammy nominations, and three Latin Grammy nominations. Sosa’s creative trajectory embodies the expansive perspective of a visionary artist who has taken Monk’s uncompromising attitude to heart. Rooted in Afro-Cuban percussive, dance, and spiritual traditions, intimately versed in a range of contemporary musical forms, but defying easy labels, Sosa’s finely textured compositions and ensemble leadership complement, engage with, and amplify the animating talent of his collaborators through a va less

Suzanna Smith numbers among that rare ilk. That Smith sounds like Lee — slightly breathy and warmly sensual with a hint of huskiness — is undeniable, but the parallels extend much further. Lee’s ability to not just caress a ballad but smother it in mink has seldom been matched. She was also a sage swinger — never too much, never too little — as well as a first-rate songwriter. Smith checks all those boxes.” — Christopher Louden, Jazz Times Tickets: $40 per show Seating Policy– First Come, First Served. No table reservations.

To launch 2026, we’re taking that spirit to the extreme by bringing in one of the flagship ensembles of the entire Jazz Mafia universe: the 18-piece Realistic Orchestra. Formed in 2004 by drummer/composer Eric Garland and Adam Theis, Realistic Orchestra is a modern electro-acoustic big band built from the core musicians and co-founders who shaped Jazz Mafia from the beginning. The group blends classic big-band instrumentation with futuristic textures, original compositions, bold arrangements, and a long history of cross-disciplinary collaborations. Born during the legendary “Jazz Mafia Tuesdays” era, Realistic Orchestra spent years premiering new works every week, creating a unique sound that sits somewhere between jazz orchestra, film score, electronic music, underground hip-hop session, and experimental theater pit. For this special residency kickoff, the full 18-piece ensemble squeezes into two of the Bay Area’s most intimate rooms—an ambitious, joyful, slightly absurd idea that channels everything the residency stands for: community, risk-taking, and big musical visions in close quarters. One night, Eighteen musicians. A 2026 launch with heavyweight sonic firepower. Tickets: $40 per show Seating Policy– First Come, First Served. No table reservations.

Those with a liner note obsession will remember Jinx’s playing on En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind.”(San Francisco Chronicle)Jinx Jones boasts a prolific career spanning from the 1990s, during which he has been a prominent figure in the San Francisco Bay Area jazz scene. His musical journey, deeply rooted in R&B and Soul collaborations with luminaries such as Solomon Burke and En Vogue, has laid a solid groundwork for his ventures into the realms of soul jazz and hard bop. Jones' distinctive approach to jazz is deeply influenced by the venerable traditions set forth by iconic guitarists such as Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessel, and George Benson.“You've heard fretboard prestidigitator Jinx before: he lent studio guitar and bass to En Vogue's hit, "Free Your Mind." Professionally impressive as it is, though, that credit does not represent his own chosen styling. Jinx's headlong endeavors draw freely and unto satiation from classic rocka-billy, vintage jazz, and spartan honky tonk….” D. C. Larson, Crackerjack Magazine, UKIn recent times, Jinx Jones has achieved international acclaim with the release of his latest solo jazz album, "Blue Gardenia." This album showcases his guitar artistry, striking a perfect balance between delicacy and energy, reminiscent of the soulful and profound styles of the genre's legendary masters.“Jinx Jones is out there. Four or five nights a week, the great guitar player with the immaculate pompadour can be found at various Bay Area venues, working the stage, doing his thing. The Colorado native came up serving as a sideman to rock ’n’ roll royalty, playing with the likes of Chuck Berry and Solomon Burke.”Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-c4ee8e05c184347f0f11 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } less

A dyed-in-the-wool bebop pianist, he seeks to uphold the tradition of Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Kenny Clarke, Hank Jones, and Barry Harris, among others, and treats their music equally as soul food and as ground as fertile for intellectual exploration as any of the great European masters of the last 400 years. Armed with a rigorous classical training, he has to quote one local great, "made a substantive contribution towards raising the 'mean tempo' of the tunes played within this sector of the S.F. jazz scene", though he feels just as at home on a contemplative ballad or a slow blues.You may find him performing under either one of his apt pseudonyms, Dud Powell or Barely Harris.

Green is celebrated for his straight‑ahead style, swinging joy, lyrical finesse, and luminous melodic clarity. His distinctive sound was forged in the 1980s through formative work with three jazz giants—vocalist Betty Carter, drummer Art Blakey, and bassist Ray Brown. During this pivotal era, Green toured extensively with Carter, appeared on her Grammy Award–winning recordings, and recorded multiple albums with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, further solidifying his authoritative swing and harmonic depth. He later became a key member of the Ray Brown Trio, his longest and most influential sideman role. As a bandleader, Green has recorded extensively for Blue Note, Telarc, and Sunnyside, earning the admiration of Oscar Peterson, who named him his protégé and collaborated with him on Oscar and Benny. After more than three decades leading his own trio, Green’s solo work feels especially unguarded and expressive, revealing the full depth and individuality of his voice at the piano. This performance offers an up-close encounter with one of the great voices of modern jazz piano. Video 1Video 2 less

Orquesta Akokán burst onto the global music scene in 2018 with their no-holds-barred 21st century take on the venerable Cuban mambo lit up stages around the world with a fierce and unremitting joy. Chulo Records producer and multi instrumentalist Jacob Plasse , and arranger Michael Eckroth joined forces with a carefully curated selection of Havana’s most extraordinary musicians as Orquesta Akokán, polishing Cuban mambo’s golden sound to a luminous, contemporary sheen. Along the way Orquesta Akokán imbued these legendary Cuban grooves with a renewed vitality and powerful sense of akokán ---the Yoruba word used by Cubans to mean “from the heart” or “soul. Orquesta Akokán’s eponymous 2018 debut riffed on Cuba’s golden grooves from the 1940s and 1950s with fresh style and panache. In contrast, 2021’s 16 Rayos pushed the envelope of the classic mambo by coloring it with an edgy variety of rhythms and styles. These years were marked by widespread critical acclaim, intense world-wide touring, and a multitude of awards for Orquesta Akokán: Billboard Latin Music Award, Telemundo Latin American Music Award, Songlines Music Awards, and a Grammy nomination. “The groove is so infectious that if this doesn't get your foot tapping, you may be dead.” - NPR Website | Facebook | Instagram DANCE FLOOR/STANDING AREA OPEN!

Accompanying herself on piano or Wurlitzer, Sami delivers dynamic, personal performances deeply steeped in the lineage of the great American singer-songwriters of the 60’s and 70’s. In 2023, Sami released her debut solo album ‘Morning’ on Sunnyside Records. Born from a love of classic American music and an ear for storytelling, ‘Morning’ showcases Stevens’ rich vocal delivery as it ebbs between intimate personal stories and stunning symphonic textures, treating the vastness of the human condition with painterly impressions and an empathetic disposition. Glide Magazine wrote “Sami Stevens did more than impress with her first solo outing, she quickly established herself as one of the most promising songwriters to appear in the past few years.” Sami is also an avid collaborator; fresh off of a two year run with nine-time Grammy winner Norah Jones on auxiliary keys and background vocals as Norah toured her 2024 release ‘Visions.’ Other ongoing collaborations include Rose Thorne by Kenny Wollesen, I Insist by Kazemde George, The Way I Feel Inside by Marty Isenberg, Brave New World by Tredici Bacci, and a new one woman show by John Zorn and Jesse Harris, currently in development.
