SUMMARY:Martin Luther McCoy: The Funk That Stole Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Martin Luther McCoy is a visionary soul singer who blends traditional jazz\, funk\, rock\, and soul music into a fluid\, electrifying sound. His vibe is a liquid-cooled\, versatile funk. His powerful voice has led him to perform as the frontman for SFJAZZ Collective and The Roots and was recently featured at Mt. Tamalpais Sound Summit’s tribute to Sly and the Family Stone. Back at Black Cat SF for The Funk That Stole Christmas is Martin and his electric band. He is perhaps best known for his breakout role as a Jimi Hendrix-inspired character in the acclaimed film Across the Universe (Sony/Columbia)\, directed by Julie Taymor. His collaborations with dance music innovator Miguel Migs have also garnered international attention; their latest track\, “Keep on Dreaming\,” was released earlier this year on Salted Music. \nLuther has a distinctive knack for reinterpretation\, often covering classics with a fresh\, edgy twist. \nVersatile and genre-defying\, Luther’s show will reimagine a portion of holiday classics but ultimately brings the funk and heavy jams to keep audience members swaying and singing along in their seats. Sade and Stevie Wonder lovers unite under a groove. Joining Martin are Howard Wiley\, Clark Sims and the members of Graham Central Station\, Brian Braziel\, Wilton Rabb and Dave Council. Prince Vs Rick James or Ohio Players vs Parliament!! The funk that stole Christmas will have you jamming in your seats. \nBand Lineup:\nMartin Luther McCoy\, Guitar\, Vox\nClark Sims\, Bass\nWilton Rabb\, Guitar\nDave Council\, Keys\nBrian Braziel\, Drums\nHoward Wiley\, Sax

SUMMARY:Justin Rock Trio
DESCRIPTION:ustin Rock is one of today’s most quietly formidable multi-hyphenate artists—an endlessly curious guitarist\, composer\, and bandleader whose sound finds its way into any setting with honesty and ease. With thirteen original albums to his name and a relentless performance schedule\, Rock brings a deeply expressive energy that’s as versatile as it is grounded. \nRaised in a musical household and shaped by everything from classical symphonies to jazz standards and folk traditions\, Rock’s path led him through piano and trumpet before settling into the guitar—his true voice. That wide-open listening history still defines his approach: fluid\, thoughtful\, and always in conversation with the moment. \nNow based in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Rock balances an expansive creative life—performing with an array of forward-thinking artists\, composing for film and major brands\, and teaching at institutions including SFJAZZ and Stanford Jazz Workshop. Whether on stage or in the studio\, Justin Rock’s music is sincere\, dynamic\, and built to be felt live. \nBand Lineup:\nJustin Rock\, guitar\nIsaac Coyle\, bass\nMalachi Whitson\, drums

SUMMARY:Isaias Medellin's Solar X-Tet
DESCRIPTION:Solar X-Tet is an experimental\, progressive jazz collective centered around the compositions and drumming of Isaias Medellin.\nOriginally from San Antonio\, Texas\, Isaias Medellin relocated to Oakland in 2024 and has quickly made a name for himself in the Bay Area as one of the most unique and intense voices on the drum set.

SUMMARY:SLUGish Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:s a versatile multi-instrumentalist and composer based in San Francisco\, with deep-rooted connections to the Los Angeles\, Chicago\, and New York City music scenes. As a bandleader\, he helms SLUGish Ensemble\, a fluid group focused on original compositions and arrangements\, as well as JACKNIFE\, a high-energy quintet dedicated to the music of iconic alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. Since 2010\, Lugerner has garnered critical acclaim for his numerous albums\, including SLUGish Ensemble: In Solitude (2023) It Takes One to Know One (2022)\, SLUGish Ensemble: An Eight Out of Nine (2018)\, JACKNIFE: The Music of Jackie McLean (2016)\, Gravitations Vol. 1-3 (2013-2015)\, For We Have Heard (2013)\, and Narratives (2010). His compositions have been praised for their “textured\, nearly seamless blend of composition and improvisation” (The Village Voice)\, and The New York Times lauded him as “an impeccably trained multi-reedist.” The San Francisco Examiner notes that “Lugerner’s approach to making music is very much his own\, and he seems to be pursuing it to impressive advantage.” \nLugerner has collaborated with a wide range of jazz masters\, including legendary pianist Fred Hersch\, Grammy-winning pianist Taylor Eigsti\, vocalist Lisa Fischer\, and groundbreaking artists such as Myra Melford\, Tootie Heath\, Eric Harland\, Matt Wilson\, John Hollenbeck\, and Allison Miller. During his development\, he was mentored by renowned musicians such as Jane Ira Bloom\, Miguel Zenon\, Mike DiRubbo\, Chris Cheek\, Ralph Alessi\, and Jamie Baum. \nRaised in the suburbs of San Francisco\, Lugerner grew up in a multicultural\, creatively supportive family. He began performing at a young age\, playing clarinet\, oboe\, and saxophone with college and professional orchestras while organizing local DIY performances. In 2006\, he moved to New York City to attend The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music\, where he graduated with honors in 2010. After graduation\, Lugerner freelanced and toured extensively\, performing with groups such as CHIVES\, In One Wind\, killerBOB\, and his own SLUGish Ensemble\, while building a nationwide network of friends and collaborators.
