SUMMARY:Dewayne Oakley and Ralph Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Transport yourself to the Rive Gauche without leaving Fillmore Street. Chouquet’s invites you to experience “Jazz on the Patio\,” a long-standing neighborhood tradition that pairs world-class live music with the breezy elegance of a classic French bistro. Set against the backdrop of one of San Francisco’s most iconic shopping corridors\, this event offers a high-fidelity sensory experience where the “restless melodicism” of local jazz meets the refined flavors of France. \nFeaturing the Dewayne Oakley Blues Ensemble\nThis weekend’s soundtrack is provided by the seasoned mastery of Dewayne Oakley and Ralph Nelson. As cornerstones of the Bay Area music scene\, this duo brings a rich\, soulful texture to the patio: \nDewayne Oakley (Bass & Vocals): A veteran with over 50 years in the industry\, Oakley is a master of “city music with a country soul.” His deep\, resonant bass violin and gravelly\, heartfelt vocals bridge the gap between sophisticated jazz standards and raw\, acoustic blues. \nRalph Nelson (Guitar): Originally a drummer from a New York jazz family (his father’s dental patients included Max Roach and Sonny Rollins!)\, Nelson switched to guitar after falling under the spell of Jimi Hendrix. His style is firmly rooted in hard bop\, bringing a melodic versatility that dances effortlessly between blues grit and jazz precision. \nThe Experience\nThe Setting: Relax on the expansive\, heated sidewalk patio—one of the best people-watching spots in the city. The outdoor seating allows you to soak in the Pacific Heights sun while enjoying the acoustic warmth of live upright bass and hollow-body guitar. \nThe Menu: Enhance the rhythm with Chouquet’s signature bistro fare. Indulge in local favorites like the Moules Frites\, Croque Madame\, or a crisp glass of Sancerre from their extensive French-focused wine list. \nThe Atmosphere: This is an unpretentious yet polished affair\, perfect for a romantic date\, a sophisticated family brunch\, or a solo afternoon of “art and aperitifs.”

SUMMARY:Magic School Busk
DESCRIPTION:Experience the ultimate “living theater” of North Beach as The Magic School Busk takes up their weekly residency directly in front of The Red Window. Positioned at the vibrant\, sun-soaked corner of Stockton and Columbus\, this high-energy busking collective captures the spontaneous spirit of the neighborhood. \nThe performance is a masterclass in Street Swing and improvisational Jazz. Drawing from the “busking” tradition of New Orleans and the European “Hot Club” sound\, the ensemble specializes in acoustic music that is both technically brilliant and completely unpretentious. The line-up is fluid\, often featuring a “who’s who” of local instrumentalists who bring a “restless melodicism” to classic standards and upbeat\, toe-tapping originals. \nThe Magic School Busk is more than just a band; they are the neighborhood’s “resident joy-makers.” Because they perform on the street level\, the barrier between musician and audience disappears\, inviting passersby to stop\, dance\, and engage with the music in real-time. Whether you are enjoying a gin tonic on the Red Window’s outdoor patio or just walking by with a cannoli in hand\, the band provides an elite\, soulful soundtrack that defines the modern North Beach experience. \n\nAbout The Magic School Busk\nBorn from the city’s post-pandemic “street-side” revival\, The Magic School Busk is a collective of veteran Bay Area musicians dedicated to the art of public performance. They emphasize the “acoustic and the authentic\,” eschewing heavy amplification for the natural resonance of brass\, strings\, and woodwinds. Often featuring members from some of the city’s most popular jazz and swing outfits\, the “Busk” is celebrated for its ability to read a crowd and create a party out of thin air. They represent the best of San Francisco’s musical resilience—keeping the city’s culture loud\, proud\, and accessible to everyone on the street. \n

SUMMARY:Jules Broussard’s New Orleans Jazz Band
DESCRIPTION:The legendary Jules Broussard brings the spirit of New Orleans to the heart of North Beach with a bi-weekly residency at the Savoy Tivoli. Taking place every other Saturday from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM\, this “Legacy Jazz” series offers a rare opportunity to see a living master perform in one of the neighborhood’s most historic venues. These afternoon sessions are known for their relaxed yet electric atmosphere\, drawing a devoted crowd of jazz aficionados and curious passersby alike. \nWhile Broussard has been a Bay Area fixture for decades\, his roots are in Marksville\, Louisiana. His “New Orleans Jazz Band” highlights this heritage\, blending classic NOLA syncopation with the sophisticated improvisational style that has made him a global name. \n\nJules Broussard is a saxophone virtuoso whose career spans over seven decades. Born in 1937\, he began organizing bands in Louisiana at the age of twelve before serving in the U.S. Air Force and eventually settling in San Francisco. He has shared the stage and studio with some of the most iconic names in music history\, including: Ray Charles\, Carlos Santana\, Van Morrison\, Boz Scaggs\, and Elvin Bishop. \nHonored with the San Francisco Cabaret Gold Award for “Outstanding Jazz Musician” and a BAMMIE for “Best Reed Player\,” Broussard is a cornerstone of the West Coast jazz scene. Once voted by the San Francisco Examiner as “Reason #11 out of 96 to be in San Francisco\,” he continues to perform with a passion and mastery that captivates every generation of music lover.

SUMMARY:Rotating Bands at the Lion’s Den
DESCRIPTION:Experience the resurgence of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown nightlife at the Lion’s Den.  Tucked away on Wentworth Place\, this bi-level lounge and performance space blends modern cocktail culture with the East meets West spirit of the Chinatown’s golden age. Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ensembles. \nThe Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curated selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sophisticated lounge set and a packed dance floor. \nThe Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can enjoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. \nThe Experience: The Lion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offering world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a place to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next generation of San Francisco’s musical talent. \n\nA Legacy Reclaimed\nThe Lion’s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic clubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was once the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhood buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After decades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown in nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the glamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

SUMMARY:Victor Little's Big Hit
DESCRIPTION:In a career that has spanned over 20 years\, Victor Little has established himself as a consummate professional electric bassist\, displaying impeccable time\, taste\, technique\, and tone while playing in a wide spectrum of styles-from blues and jazz to Indian and flamenco music-with a long list of luminaries that includes Patti Austin\, Billy Preston\, Angela Bofill\, James Carter\, Charlie Musselwhite\, and Booker T. Jones. \nVictor\, a Chicago native\, grew up surrounded by musicians and music. His father was a saxophonist\, and Victor\, like other members of his family\, played in church. On the radio\, icons such as Aretha\, Sly\, Coltrane\, Miles\, James Brown\, the Jackson 5\, Kool and the Gang\, P-Funk\, Elton John\, Hendrix\, Led Zeppelin\, and Rush gave him his first taste of pop music. Victor’s first instrument was trumpet\, but by high school he had switched to electric bass and fallen under the spell of bass players such as James Jamerson\, Bernand Edwards\, Chuck Rainey\, Verdine White\, Stanley Clarke\, Anthony Jackson\, Jaco Pastorius\, John Paul Jones\, and Billy Cox. He continued his formal studies in college.

SUMMARY:Mitch Polzak & The Royal Deuces
DESCRIPTION:Mitch Polzak & The Royal Deuces have the honor of inaugurating The Deluxe’s grand reopening at 1511 Haight Street\, bringing rockabilly and 60s country music to a room that was made for exactly this kind of raw\, reverb-soaked American sound. Polzak delivers the religious fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash on the uptempo numbers\, then turns around and sells a honky tonk ballad with the quiet sincerity of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings — a full range of emotion from a performer who understands that great country music is as much about conviction as it is about craft. For a room celebrating its own resurrection\, there may be no more fitting opening night than this.
