SUMMARY:Jinx Jones
DESCRIPTION:Jinx Jones Biography (Jazz Trio)\n“Jinx is a guitar virtuoso who seamlessly moves from rockabilly to jazz to twang and back again\, sometimes in the same song. Those with a liner note obsession will remember Jinx’s playing on En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind.” \n(San Francisco Chronicle) \nJinx Jones boasts a prolific career spanning from the 1990s\, during which he has been a prominent figure in the San Francisco Bay Area jazz scene. His musical journey\, deeply rooted in R&B and Soul collaborations with luminaries such as Solomon Burke and En Vogue\, has laid a solid groundwork for his ventures into the realms of soul jazz and hard bop. Jones’ distinctive approach to jazz is deeply influenced by the venerable traditions set forth by iconic guitarists such as Wes Montgomery\, Kenny Burrell\, Barney Kessel\, and George Benson. \n“You’ve heard fretboard prestidigitator Jinx before: he lent studio guitar and bass to En Vogue’s hit\, “Free Your Mind.” Professionally impressive as it is\, though\, that credit does not represent his own chosen styling. Jinx’s headlong endeavors draw freely and unto satiation from classic rocka-billy\, vintage jazz\, and spartan honky tonk….” D. C. Larson\, Crackerjack Magazine\, UK \nIn recent times\, Jinx Jones has achieved international acclaim with the release of his latest solo jazz album\, “Blue Gardenia.” This album showcases his guitar artistry\, striking a perfect balance between delicacy and energy\, reminiscent of the soulful and profound styles of the genre’s legendary masters. \n“Jinx Jones is out there. Four or five nights a week\, the great guitar player with the immaculate pompadour can be found at various Bay Area venues\, working the stage\, doing his thing. The Colorado native came up serving as a sideman to rock ’n’ roll royalty\, playing with the likes of Chuck Berry and Solomon Burke.” \nAidin Vaziri\, San Francisco Chronicle

SUMMARY:Frank Martin / Michael O'Neil Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a sonic odyssey to some of the world’s most captivating destinations at Keys Jazz Bistro. Composers Frank Martin and Michael O’Neill transform their global adventures into an unforgettable musical experience. Journey from the vibrant chaos of Bangalore’s markets to the sun-drenched rhythms of Trinidad\, from the breathtaking majesty of Kilimanjaro to the sacred echoes of Tikal\, this is your passport to a world of sound—an exploration of exotic locations through the universal language of music. \nThis is a both a reunion  and the beginning of a new collaboration for Frank and me. We were co-members of a composers jazz-fusion band known as Solstice for many years. Since that time\, our career paths have diverged. Frank has enjoyed a remarkable career traveling the world performing with such great artists as Sting\, James Taylor and Stevie Wonder – composing musical impressions along his journeys. As for myself\, in addition to performing I have worked as a composer for television and documentary films for about 20 years and employed those skills to capture – in music – my interpretations of places traveled. To perform our music\, we are joined by master musicians Dan Robbins on bass and Deszon Claiborne on drums.

SUMMARY:The Kevin Gerzevitz Trio

SUMMARY:The North Beach Django
DESCRIPTION:Transport yourself to a 1930s sidewalk café in Montmartre as North Beach Django takes residency at Paris 75 every Tuesday. Located on the edge of the historic Broadway corridor\, this charming French lounge provides the perfect backdrop for the “Hot Club” sound. With its selection of authentic French cocktails and wines\, the venue feels less like a San Francisco bar and more like a secret sanctuary for lovers of European jazz and vintage aesthetics. \nThe Sound: North Beach Django delivers an authentic exploration of Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz). Their sound is defined by the “pumping” rhythm of acoustic guitars and soaring\, melodic solos. Expect a repertoire of high-speed swing\, haunting French musette waltzes (like “L’Indifférence”)\, and soulful ballads that capture the bittersweet spirit of the early 20th century. \nThe Django Legacy: The group’s mission is to honor the revolutionary style of Django Reinhardt\, the legendary Romani-French guitarist who pioneered this genre. Despite losing the use of two fingers in a fire\, Reinhardt’s virtuosic speed and unique harmonic language changed jazz forever. The band keeps this fire alive\, utilizing the same acoustic string-band format—no drums\, just pure rhythmic drive. \nThe Players: The group is led by a core of the Bay Area’s finest “manouche” specialists\, often featuring Ned Boynton on guitar\, Eddie Scher on guitar\, and Kenan O’Brien on bass. Their chemistry is a masterclass in the “interlocking” style of Gypsy Swing\, where the lead and rhythm guitars work in a constant\, high-speed dialogue. \nThe Community Jam: In the spirit of the Parisian cafés where this music was born\, the evening often evolves into a welcoming session. After the first set\, the band frequently opens the floor to “acoustic sitter-inners”—strings\, accordions\, and woodwinds—making it a vibrant hub for the local jazz community. \n\nAbout Paris 75\nParis 75 is a sophisticated French cocktail lounge that serves as a cultural bridge between San Francisco and the “City of Light.” Named after the postal code for Paris\, the bar specializes in regional French wines and signature cocktails like the “French 75.” The intimate\, candlelit space is designed for conversation and attentive listening\, making it the ideal home for the acoustic nuances of North Beach Django. It is a place where time slows down\, and the legacy of the great European troubadours feels remarkably present.
