SUMMARY:Laura Anglade
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn-based jazz chanteuse Laura Anglade is one of the most captivating storytellers in vocal jazz today\, an international touring artist whose conversational style forges an intimate connection with her audience even on some of the world’s great stages. \nOriginally from the village of Brousse-le-Château in the south of France\, Anglade grew up in the US and spent several years in Canada\, and her performances reflect those roots: rich in simplicity\, an appreciation for the past and a sense of wonder in ordinary moments. Her interpretations are shaped by legendary voices including Sarah Vaughan\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Shirley Horn\, Carmen McRae\, Michel Legrand and Barbra Streisand. Her 2022 release Venez Donc Chez Moi earned a Juno Award nomination\, and in 2023 she received the Prix Opus for Jazz Concert of the Year. She has headlined festivals across the US\, Canada\, Mexico\, the UK and Europe\, reaching renowned stages including Paris’s L’Olympia\, London’s Royal Festival Hall and New York’s Town Hall\, and returning regularly to the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. She has also toured in support of Melody Gardot and Gregory Porter. \nAnglade’s third album Get Out of Town arrived May 23\, 2025 to wide praise. She was featured on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show Me Music” series performing the Rodgers & Hart standard “Manhattan\,” and has performed at Winter Jazzfest in New York. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Top Chefs
DESCRIPTION:A hit at the 2026 Summer Fest\, Top Chefs are a San Francisco hip-hop fusion band blending hip-hop\, jazz\, R&B and soul into a live experience that is both forward-thinking and rooted in tradition. With performances at the Barbican in London and the Vienna Hofburg Royal Palace\, they command stages across four continents. \nTheir lineup features an all-star cast led by emcee and frontman Afterthought\, with vocalists Sunday and ASH\, alongside Shogun on bass\, Loveberry on guitar\, Jabari on drums\, Des on keys\, Will Shannon on trombone and TJ on saxophone. The Top Chefs perform Afterthought’s original music alongside R&B\, soul and early 2000s classics\, and have backed legendary Bay Area artists including Mistah F.A.B.\, Nef The Pharaoh and Dru Down. \nMore than a backing band\, The Top Chefs create an immersive live experience that pushes musical boundaries while bringing audiences together. That spirit fuels Stoop Sessions\, their live performance series filmed on the stoop of Afterthought’s childhood home in the Fillmore District. What began when the band recorded a Tiny Desk audition on the front steps and drew a spontaneous crowd has grown into a viral\, community-rooted platform where a rotating cast of Bay Area artists have their songs reimagined live by the band. Paired with their 2026 debut album\, it’s a project born from a desire to bring joy to the neighborhoods that shaped them. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Legally Blue
DESCRIPTION:Legally Blue is a sophisticated blues ensemble known for original\, dynamic arrangements that blur the lines between jazz elegance and blues soul. Rooted in tradition yet driven by innovation\, the band crafts a sound that feels both timeless and fresh\, where smoky blues textures meet rich jazz harmonies\, inventive rhythms and expressive improvisation. Each performance is carefully shaped\, transforming familiar blues influences into polished\, story-driven experiences that engage listeners far beyond the standard setlist. \nRather than relying on predictable structures\, the band reimagines every song with layered arrangements\, dramatic dynamics and refined interplay between instruments and vocals. The result is a signature sound that is intimate yet powerful\, moving from subtle\, late-night moods to bold\, emotionally charged moments. Legally Blue doesn’t just play the blues; they elevate it. \nThe band is fronted by lead vocalist Cheryl Scales\, whose rich\, soulful voice and commanding stage presence capture the raw emotion of the blues\, sharing the spotlight with drummer and vocalist Bill Norwood\, a longtime fixture of the Bay Area scene. Aart de Geus brings technical prowess and fiery improvisation on lead guitar\, blending classic blues riffs with modern twists. Pamela Charlles Arthur adds lush texture on keys and B3 organ along with backing vocals\, Todd Wilder drives the groove on drums\, and Jeff Moles anchors the low end on bass. Together they craft a sound that respects the blues’ roots while pushing its boundaries. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Emily Day Cosmo Alleycats
DESCRIPTION:Cosmo Alleycats have been a favorite of the San Francisco music scene since the band’s 2010 beginning. Led by jazz vocalist Emily Day\, “one of the major singers in her field” (Scott Yanow)\, the group endears audiences with inviting musicality and playful improvisation. \nThat approach makes quick converts of the jazz-curious while offering plenty to satisfy longtime devotees of the music. With sixteen years performing together\, Cosmo Alleycats is a well-oiled machine. But however polished their performance may be\, it’s their sense of playfulness that holds the door open for the unexpected. That dynamic runs through their albums Old Sweet Songs (2022) and More Sweet Songs (2026)\, collections of Tin Pan Alley and American Songbook favorites alongside original compositions inspired by bygone styles of songwriting. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Black Nile
DESCRIPTION:Brothers Aaron and Lawrence Shaw\, performing as Black Nile\, see a different Los Angeles: not Hollywood’s fantasy but a city of improvisation\, fresh ideas and jazz\, built on deep Black and Latino roots. Born and raised in LA’s Inglewood neighborhood\, they came up in the city’s red-hot jazz scene\, rubbing shoulders with elder legends and next-gen stars alike. \nBoth with credits on Grammy Award-nominated projects\, saxophonist Aaron Shaw has played with contemporary greats from Tyler\, The Creator to Herbie Hancock\, was recently featured alongside Saul Williams and Carlos Niño and gave André 3000 flute lessons. Bassist Lawrence Shaw has backed John Legend\, Booker T. and the MG’s\, Aminé\, Nubya Garcia and Raphael Saadiq. Both seasoned touring musicians\, they formed Black Nile out of a desire to bring jazz into a new century\, adopting the sampling and modern production techniques they learned from hip-hop to make improvisation that is wildly inventive and combustible. \nNamed artists in residence at MASS MoCA in 2025\, Black Nile release their new album Indigo Garden on April 10\, 2026 on MASS MoCA Records\, featuring cover art from renowned conceptual artist Charles Gaines. Both an homage to the brothers’ LA roots and a bold step forward for the city’s jazz tradition\, it fills out the band with some of LA’s best players\, including keyboardists Luca Mendoza and Brian Hargrove and drummer Myles Martin. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Sandra & Katrina Pacheco: Music of Amalia Rodrigues
DESCRIPTION:Mother and daughter Sandra and Katrina Pacheco carry the tradition of fado\, Portugal’s soulful song of longing and melancholy\, to Bay Area audiences. For this Break Room set\, they turn to the repertoire of Amalia Rodrigues\, the legendary “Queen of Fado” who did more than anyone to popularize the genre around the world and remains the best-selling Portuguese artist in the history of recorded music. \nSandra Pinheiro Pacheco was born in Pawtucket\, Rhode Island to Portuguese immigrants from the Azorean island of Faial. She loved singing as a child and started performing on stage as a sophomore at San Jose High School\, where she joined the choir as lead soprano\, studied Portuguese and was among the early participants in the International Baccalaureate program. It was there she first learned of Amalia in Portuguese class. When Manuel Escobar\, who had heard her sing many times\, encouraged her to consider fado\, she never dreamed she would come to love singing it. She gave her first fado performance in Santa Clara on March 14\, 2003 and has sung throughout the Bay Area and Central Valley ever since. \nKatrina Nicole Pacheco was born and raised in San José\, her father from the Azorean island of Graciosa and her mother from Pawtucket. Deeply involved in the Portuguese community\, she has danced in carnaval for 15 years and plays clarinet in a Portuguese marching band. She first sang fado at Sandra’s 2016 CD release party\, and in 2019 was honored to perform in the Azores. Now following in her mother’s footsteps\, she has performed at venues throughout California. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Scott Amendola\, Jeff Parker & Paul Bryan
DESCRIPTION:Few drummers in jazz have collaborated as fruitfully with era-defining guitarists as Berkeley’s Scott Amendola\, who for this trio joins forces with the endlessly inventive guitarist Jeff Parker and bassist Paul Bryan to celebrate their new album. For Amendola\, the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. An ambitious composer\, bandleader\, electronics explorer and first-call accompanist\, he has forged a singular path within and beyond jazz through his work with a who’s who of inventive musicians\, among them Nels Cline\, Charlie Hunter\, Jim Campilongo\, Jenny Scheinman and Bill Frisell. \nHe first gained international attention as the only non-guitarist in T. J. Kirk\, the Grammy Award-nominated quartet\, and has toured and recorded with Hunter ever since. Over three decades the New Jersey native turned Bay Area force has built a large and varied body of work\, and since 2014 has served as an Associate Professor in UC Berkeley’s Jazz Program. \nGuitarist Jeff Parker\, a restlessly creative voice known for his work with Tortoise and a long line of genre-crossing projects\, is Amendola’s foil across several of his most acclaimed recordings. Bassist Paul Bryan\, a Grammy Award-winning producer best known for several albums by Aimee Mann\, anchors the low end. Released November 6\, 2026 on CD and vinyl by Jealous Butcher Records\, their album Scott Amendola Trio PDXMMXVIII with Jeff Parker and Paul Bryan draws much of its material from Lift\, Amendola’s acclaimed 2010 trio album with Parker. They bring that music to the stage in two one-hour\, separately ticketed sets at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets
