The Soul Sessions: Joe Warner, Dante “Taz” Robinson, Michael “Tiny” Lindsey & Special Guests Charles McNeal & Angelo Luster

Where groove meets spirit—an intimate Wednesday-night collision of jazz, soul, gospel, funk, and R&B.

JaZzLine INSTITUTE Presents The Soul Sessions

The Soul Sessions bring some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians to Black Cat for a weekly night built around deep groove, soulful improvisation, and the energy that happens when world-class players meet in an intimate room.

Led by pianist Joe Warner, with Dante “Taz” Roberson on drums and Michael “Tiny” Lindsey on bass, the series brings together legends, rising stars, and special guests for music that moves freely between jazz, gospel, funk, soul, and R&B. No two nights are quite the same.

This week, Charles McNeal joins the show, bringing a commanding saxophone sound shaped by work with artists including Wynton Marsalis, McCoy Tyner, Roberta Flack, Boz Scaggs, and The Headhunters.

Also joining the show, Angelo Luster brings a rich, soulful saxophone sound rooted in jazz, gospel, and the musical traditions of the Bay Area.
