Christmas at the Oasis
As an antidote to the sappy sentimental Christmas tunes we are all inundated with every holiday season, Maria Muldaur has collected some wonderfully hip, swinging, humorous, and irreverent Christmas songs by her favorite Jazz and Blues artists. Join Maria & her stellar Jazzabelle Quintet as they romp through a swingin' set of upbeat Christmas music they like to call "Xmas Tunes for Hipsters" – guaranteed to get you in a Holiday Groove that lifts your spirits and chases those Xmas Blues away!
The Alpha Rhythm Kings, with Robert Dehlinger's blazing trumpet and "magnetic" singing (Jazz Corner) leading the way, bring you their exciting, King Size California sound, with what Roots Music Magazine No Depression calls "the badge of authenticity". Classic Jump Blues, swing, and jazzy originals fill out a special set of ARK music, broadcast live from beautiful Oakland, CA.
For this year’s 14th Annual Yule Celebration, Nicolas Bearde is delighted to join forces once again with the amazing and witty John R Burr on piano, contrabass doyenne Ruth Davies, percussion master Leon Joyce, Jr., and special guest, the Bay area's own globetrotting Bluesman extraordinaire, Alvon Johnson for a "must see" socially-spaced virtual show for all fans of contemporary Jazz and Blues. Performing originals and standards, and the holiday classics getting the Nicolas Bearde big-energy makeover, it's a show you won't want to miss!
Edward Simon and Jeff Denson are two of the most distinguished Bay Area artists, each a band-leader and composer with a long list of credits and accolades. Collaborating for the first time, the extraordinary piano and bass duo present a program of music by the legendary saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter. This will be a special show and you don't want to miss it!
