Jules Broussard

Louisiana-born living legend Jules Broussard brings over 60 years of Bay Area history and a lifetime of soulful double-saxophone mastery to Keys Jazz Bistro — at 89 years young, he has shared stages and studios with Alice Coltrane, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, and virtually every jazz great worth knowing. It’s rare to encounter such living history in so intimate a setting, and tonight is your lucky night. Jules arrives with his freshly minted New Orleans Jazz Band — Bay Area veterans Ned Boynton on guitar, Kevin Gerzevitz on piano and keys, Bob Blankenship on drums, and Derek Evans and Romalyn Schmaltz on vocals — fresh off residencies in North Beach and Fairfax, making this their very first performance together at Keys.
