The Jazzschool Piano Sale
One of SF's longest running jazz groups, Wolff's quartet has spent more than a decade honing a quirky repertoire focusing on overlooked gems of the bebop era and great American songbook in weekly residencies at Club Deluxe and the Redwood Room. For this special show, East meets West as they host one of the greatest jazz guitar players in the world and a fixture of the NYC scene, the legendary Peter Bernstein.
Adam Klipple brings his new Hammond B3 organ quintet to the piano store to play original, soulful arrangements of songs you know that are sure to surprise! The quintet includes Kai Lyons on guitar, Tony Peebles on sax, and Joel Behrman on trombone, with special guest drummer Ulysses Owens Jr. Adam and Ulysess reconnected after both teaching at Jazz Camp West this past summer. Super swinging and soulful, Ulysses is sure to drive the band to new heights!
Blues, Boogie Woogie, Jazz
Lluís Coloma playing solo reveals a deeper side of this virtuous and renowned Barcelona pianist. Over the years, for Lluís, the piano has become an extension of his own body, the perfect instrument to express himself in a natural, spontaneous, and unique way. Solo in front of the piano, Lluís creates his own compositions, interprets some personal favorites, and paints surprising textures, always imbued with Blues and Boogie Woogie, which are the roots of his very varied influences. He's created a cocktail of styles that over time has become his own signature sound, where each theme is a landscape within his own musical universe.
The last 2nd generation stride jazz pianist Mike Lipskin is joined by Jeff Sanford, virtuoso sax / clarinet / flute jazz master, and Ari Munkres, a premier Bay Area swinging bass player. They'll perform Mike's stimulating and unique arrangements of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, historic compositions of stride jazz pianists Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson, and Willie the Lion Smith, plus some of Mike's originals. Don't miss this special one-of-a-kind concert!
