The Don Robinson Trio
2026-06-20 16:40 - 17:40 | North Beach Festival- Makers Stage, Filbert & Grant, San Francisco, CA, 94133, United States
The Don Robinson Trio brings decades of fearless musical exploration to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant, led by Oakland-based jazz musician Donald Robinson — an intrepid and longstanding figure of the San Francisco Bay Area avant-garde jazz scene whose concept was forged in 1970s Paris studying bebop with pioneer Kenny Clarke and sharpened through collaboration with Cecil Taylor, Glenn Spearman, and the Rova Sax Quartet. A long-time student of Chuck Brown and a ground-breaker since the 1970s in Cleveland and Berkeley, Robinson has spent his career melding funk and improvisational jazz into something utterly his own. His roll call of collaborators — from saxophonists John Tchicai, Marco Eneidi, and Larry Ochs to koto player Miya Masaoka and pianist Matthew Goodheart — speaks to a musician who has spent a lifetime pushing at the edges of what jazz can be.

Dave Ricketts & The Resting Trad Face bring a lifetime of deep musical devotion to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant, led by guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and occasional cornetist Dave Ricketts — a formally trained musician whose studies under Michael Chapdelaine at the University of New Mexico laid the foundation for a career that spans gypsy jazz, blues, gutbucket, R&B, and the roots of early rock and roll. As founder and bandleader of the nationally and internationally celebrated Gaucho Jazz since 2002, Dave has sold out SFJAZZ Festival concerts, performed annually at NYC’s legendary Joe’s Pub, taken Gaucho to Djangofest stages across the country, and even landed a song in the Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder film Destination Wedding. His musical heart beats somewhere between the pre-Django American jazz guitarists he loves — Nick Lucas, Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson — and the blues and country giants like Memphis Minnie, Blind Blake, and Hank Williams, with a deep affection for the lost dawn of rock and roll that makes every performance feel like a joyful excavation of America’s most vital musical roots.

Featuring the Dewayne Oakley Blues Ensemble
This 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:
Dewayne 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.
Ralph 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.
The Experience
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.”
