Recommendation #2
Throckmorton Theatre

Throckmorton Theatre's North Bay Jazz Series continues this Friday with the outstanding Kenny Washington Quartet + Noel Jewkes.

Kenny Washington was recently dubbed “the Superman of the Bay Area jazz scene” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Kenny Washington is a jazz virtuoso who thrills audiences with his soulful interpretations, seemingly limitless range, and rapid-fire scatting. Ravi Coltrane has declared Kenny his favorite male vocalist, and Mark Murphy said in a Jazz Times interview that Kenny was the only contemporary male vocalist carrying on the tradition. 

Noel Jewkes – “The best mainstream reedman in the Bay Area…I don’t know of a better contemporary modern saxman anywhere.” Phil Elwood, S.F. Examiner
