SUMMARY:The Soul Sessions: Joe Warner\, Dante 'Taz' Roberson\, Michael 'Tiny' Lindsey & Angelo Luster
DESCRIPTION:Midweek just got a whole lot deeper. \nJaZzLine INSTITUTE presents The Soul Sessions: an electrifying live music series bringing the Bay Area’s finest to the stage at Black Cat every Wednesday night\, March through May. For just $10 cash\, experience world-class musicianship up close in an intimate setting where jazz\, soul\, gospel\, funk\, and R&B collide. \nSeats are limited. The vibe is undeniable. Make your reservations now while supplies last. \nMeet this Quartet: \nJoe Warner is setting the Bay Area jazz scene on fire. A rising star with a captivating touch and electrifying stage presence\, Warner serves as pianist and musical director for the legendary Miss Faye Carol while leading his own acclaimed Joe Warner Trio. \nHe’s shared stages and studios with jazz icons including Houston Person\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Buster Williams\, and Gary Bartz\, and has crossed genre lines alongside cultural heavyweights like Mistah F.A.B.\, The California Honeydrops\, and Robert Randolph. \nWith deep groove\, fearless versatility\, and a modern sensibility rooted in tradition\, Warner delivers fresh takes on jazz standards\, blues\, ballads\, and adventurous swingin’ — proving he truly has the keys to the future. \nDistinguished drummer and founder of the Da Groove Collective Jazz Quartet\, Dante “Taz” Roberson brings over two decades of live performance and touring experience to every stage he touches. Known for his powerful grooves and creative command of rhythm\, Taz has performed with Eric Benet\, Cameo\, Joe\, Kem\, Alicia Keys\, Najee\, Tank\, Tony! Toni! Toné!\, and Howard Wiley. His dynamic style has captivated audiences at iconic venues like London’s Jazz Café and major festivals including San Jose and the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festivals. \nRooted in the rich musical culture of the Bay Area\, his sound blends funk\, jazz\, and classic R&B into a collective vibe that feels both nostalgic and strikingly contemporary. \nA world-class bassist and background vocalist\, Michael “Tiny” Lindsey has performed with some of the biggest names in music: John Legend\, Alicia Keys\, John Mayer\, Boyz II Men\, Common\, Jay-Z\, and more. His television appearances include The Tonight Show\, Jimmy Kimmel Live\, Rosie O’Donnell\, Martha Stewart\, and Last Call with Carson Daly. \nBorn into a musical family\, Lindsey was performing professionally in New York by age fifteen. His versatility across pop\, R&B\, rock\, jazz\, blues\, funk\, and gospel has taken him on global tours throughout the U.S.\, Europe\, Japan\, South America\, and Africa. \nBeyond touring\, he’s a respected writer\, arranger\, and producer\, contributing to albums by Sunshine Anderson\, Ryan Shaw\, and Shawn Raiford. When Tiny locks in\, the groove becomes undeniable. \nDescribed as “a rose sprung from a rock\,” Oakland native Angelo Luster is a saxophonist whose rich\, soulful tone carries listeners on a spiritual journey. His sound is born from the union of contemporary gospel and West Coast jazz — powerful\, prayerful\, and deeply expressive. A scholarship student of UC Berkeley’s Young Musicians Program at age twelve\, Luster trained extensively in jazz and classical music before going on to perform at festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe. \nHe has shared stages with Boyz II Men\, Rosemary Clooney\, Mercer Ellington\, Maynard Ferguson\, Diane Schurr\, Billy Taylor\, Joe Williams\, and more. An award-winning artist and Best Male Jazz Artist recipient\, Luster’s recordings — including Face 2 Face and his latest EP Sunday Mornin’ — reflect his mission to inspire through music that feeds both soul and spirit. \nThe Soul Sessions at Black Cat Where groove meets spirit. Where legends and rising stars share one stage. Where Wednesday nights feel like church for music lovers. \nSupported by a Culture Forward grant from The Svane Family Foundation Band \nLineup: Joe Warner\, piano Dante ‘Taz’ Roberson\, drums Michael ‘Tiny’ Lindsey\, bass Angelo Luster\, saxophone

SUMMARY:Jerome Gillespie Jr. Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Drummer\, composer\, and bandleader Jerome Gillespie Jr. brings a deeply rooted yet forward-moving sound to his debut residency at Black Cat. Raised in Houston\, Texas and now based in New York City\, Gillespie’s playing blends the feeling of the church\, the fire of hard bop\, and a modern sense of storytelling—creating music that is as intentional as it is alive in the moment. A graduate of Manhattan School of Music\, the University of Iowa\, and The Juilliard School\, Gillespie has shared the stage with artists such as Vincent Herring\, Reggie Workman\, Mark Gross\, and Bobby Watson\, and has held the drum chair in multiple Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers tribute ensembles. That lineage is central to his approach: honoring tradition while pushing it forward with his own voice. Gillespie is no stranger to the Black Cat stage\, having previously performed here alongside pianist Joe Block with the Open Heart Trio and with tenor saxophonist Isaiah Collier. \nThose appearances offered a glimpse into his versatility—equally at home supporting\, shaping\, and driving the music from the bandstand. As a leader\, his music focuses on strong\, memorable ideas\, group chemistry\, and a sense of narrative that unfolds over time. This residency marks a new chapter—an opportunity to stretch out\, build with the band\, and invite listeners into a sound that grows deeper each night. \nBand Lineup: Jerome Gillespie Jr.\, drums Marvin Truong\, alto saxophone Wilfie Williams\, piano Marcos Varela\, bass

SUMMARY:The Soul Sessions: Joe Warner\, Dante 'Taz' Roberson\, Michael 'Tiny' Lindsey & Angelo Luster
DESCRIPTION:Midweek just got a whole lot deeper. \nJaZzLine INSTITUTE presents The Soul Sessions: an electrifying live music series bringing the Bay Area’s finest to the stage at Black Cat every Wednesday night\, March through May. For just $10 cash\, experience world-class musicianship up close in an intimate setting where jazz\, soul\, gospel\, funk\, and R&B collide. \nSeats are limited. The vibe is undeniable. Make your reservations now while supplies last. \nMeet this Quartet: \nJoe Warner is setting the Bay Area jazz scene on fire. A rising star with a captivating touch and electrifying stage presence\, Warner serves as pianist and musical director for the legendary Miss Faye Carol while leading his own acclaimed Joe Warner Trio. \nHe’s shared stages and studios with jazz icons including Houston Person\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Buster Williams\, and Gary Bartz\, and has crossed genre lines alongside cultural heavyweights like Mistah F.A.B.\, The California Honeydrops\, and Robert Randolph. \nWith deep groove\, fearless versatility\, and a modern sensibility rooted in tradition\, Warner delivers fresh takes on jazz standards\, blues\, ballads\, and adventurous swingin’ — proving he truly has the keys to the future. \nDistinguished drummer and founder of the Da Groove Collective Jazz Quartet\, Dante “Taz” Roberson brings over two decades of live performance and touring experience to every stage he touches. Known for his powerful grooves and creative command of rhythm\, Taz has performed with Eric Benet\, Cameo\, Joe\, Kem\, Alicia Keys\, Najee\, Tank\, Tony! Toni! Toné!\, and Howard Wiley. His dynamic style has captivated audiences at iconic venues like London’s Jazz Café and major festivals including San Jose and the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festivals. \nRooted in the rich musical culture of the Bay Area\, his sound blends funk\, jazz\, and classic R&B into a collective vibe that feels both nostalgic and strikingly contemporary. \nA world-class bassist and background vocalist\, Michael “Tiny” Lindsey has performed with some of the biggest names in music: John Legend\, Alicia Keys\, John Mayer\, Boyz II Men\, Common\, Jay-Z\, and more. His television appearances include The Tonight Show\, Jimmy Kimmel Live\, Rosie O’Donnell\, Martha Stewart\, and Last Call with Carson Daly. \nBorn into a musical family\, Lindsey was performing professionally in New York by age fifteen. His versatility across pop\, R&B\, rock\, jazz\, blues\, funk\, and gospel has taken him on global tours throughout the U.S.\, Europe\, Japan\, South America\, and Africa. \nBeyond touring\, he’s a respected writer\, arranger\, and producer\, contributing to albums by Sunshine Anderson\, Ryan Shaw\, and Shawn Raiford. When Tiny locks in\, the groove becomes undeniable. \nDescribed as “a rose sprung from a rock\,” Oakland native Angelo Luster is a saxophonist whose rich\, soulful tone carries listeners on a spiritual journey. His sound is born from the union of contemporary gospel and West Coast jazz — powerful\, prayerful\, and deeply expressive. A scholarship student of UC Berkeley’s Young Musicians Program at age twelve\, Luster trained extensively in jazz and classical music before going on to perform at festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe. \nHe has shared stages with Boyz II Men\, Rosemary Clooney\, Mercer Ellington\, Maynard Ferguson\, Diane Schurr\, Billy Taylor\, Joe Williams\, and more. An award-winning artist and Best Male Jazz Artist recipient\, Luster’s recordings — including Face 2 Face and his latest EP Sunday Mornin’ — reflect his mission to inspire through music that feeds both soul and spirit. \nThe Soul Sessions at Black Cat Where groove meets spirit. Where legends and rising stars share one stage. Where Wednesday nights feel like church for music lovers. \nSupported by a Culture Forward grant from The Svane Family Foundation Band \nLineup: Joe Warner\, piano Dante ‘Taz’ Roberson\, drums Michael ‘Tiny’ Lindsey\, bass Angelo Luster\, saxophone

SUMMARY:ZHENIIA: 'Saraab' Album Release Show
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco-based bassist\, trombonist\, composer\, and arranger Leela Paymai (ZHENIIA) grew up steeped in the sounds of Persian Pop music—Googoosh\, Marjan\, Dariush—before landing in the Bay Area and diving headfirst into the tangled\, boundary-less world of modern jazz. \nWhat emerged is ZHENIIA: a genre-blurring\, emotionally charged project that filters ancestral memory through a contemporary lens. ZHENIIA’s music is a collision of identities and histories\, layered with microtonal scales\, hip-hop rhythm\, and psychedelic textures. Bass-driven and politically pointed\, the songs reach across genre and geography\, weaving oud melodies and Persian folk motifs through thick\, improvisatory grooves. \nThe band’s ever-shifting lineup reflects the fluidity of its sound—one show might feature electric violin\, the next trombone—but there’s always a core of rhythm\, synthesis\, and soul. “I take a lot of inspiration from my grandparents and parents\,” Paymai says\, “who\, despite surviving the Iranian revolution\, always found time to make music. That spirit—of resilience\, of beauty in chaos—fuels everything I do.” \nZHENIIA premiered in February 2025 with a sold-out debut at San Jose Jazz’s New Works Festival\, backed by a dynamic band of Bay Area collaborators including Chili Corder on oud\, Julian Lopez on synths\, and drummer Jaycie Grady. Press coverage quickly followed\, with features in Mercury News\, East Bay Times\, and Mission Local. While no official releases have dropped yet\, ZHENIIA is just beginning. These are songs for survival\, movement\, and deep feeling—music to grieve to\, dream through\, and rise with. Stay tuned. \nBand Lineup: Leela Paymai – bass Julian Lopez – piano Chili Corder – oud Allison Irvine – violin Rabiah Kabir – flute Jaycie Grady – drums
