Bay Area Brass

Hi Everyone-I'm doing a couple of festival gigs in the SF Bay area the next week or so-on Aug. 24 I'm performing at Club Jupiter in Berkeley as part of the Downtown Berkeley Jazz Festival. I'm thrilled to have some great bay area musicians with me-

Cedricke Dennis on guitar (Dave Ellis, Ledisi, Braxton Bros.)
Mike Aaburg on piano (Goapele, Lalah Hathaway)
Darryl Anders on bass (Tower Of Power, Joyce Colling)
Jesus Diaz on percussion (Andy Narrell, Omar Sosa)
Josh Jones on drums (Steve Coleman, Don Cherry)

We are playing 3 sets starting at 8:00 pm (no cover). We will be playing a mix of jazz and R & B- Some material by Kenny Garrett, Joe Henderson, Crusaders, Steve Grossman, Harold Land and perhaps some surprises.

We are also playing at the Art And Soul Festival in Downtown Oakland on Sept. 1st at noon. I hope you can come to the shows and enjoy!

Best regards,
Bill
