SUMMARY:Zoo Band
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of electricity that doesn’t come from wires and screens\, but from roaring musicians locked onto the same pulse\, bending time until the groove feels like it shakes the earth and could stretch forever. That’s Zoo Band.\nRooted in the Bay Area and built for the moment\, Zoo is a soul-drenched\, jam-powered collective where tight musicianship meets wild improvisation.  Larry “Zoo” commands keys and vocals with a storyteller’s instinct.  On guitar\, Jordan (of Too Pretty for Radio) threads and shreds.  Manny layers rich keyboard textures that form badass sonic landscapes.  Andy’s bass doesn’t just hold it down\, it’s Funky.  Jeff Dukes drives it all from the drums bangin’ precision fire beats.  Mike’s saxophone is pure soul energy.\nTogether\, they build from deep funk to cosmic jam\, from simmering soul to explosive peaks. No two shows are the same because Zoo locks in with the audience as the seventh member of the band.\nStanding on the shoulders of the giants of 60s/70s Funk/Soul/Motown\, but grounded in their own unmistakable sound\, Zoo delivers pure joy with dance-compelling grooves that move!   Step into the Zoo safari.  This is the Zoo party! \nLARRY “ZOO” – Vocals\, Keys\nANDY – Bass\nJORDAN – Lead Guitar\nJEFF DUKES – Drums\nMANNY – Keys\nMIKE – Sax

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Piano night at The Royal Cuckoo Organ Lounge
DESCRIPTION:Piano nights at The Royal Cuckoo Organ Lounge are characterised by their early start times and the use of the venue’s vintage Steinway Upright piano\, which differs from the lounge’s typical focus on its prominent Hammond organ. \nPiano Monday shows start at 7:00 PM and typically run until 10:00 PM. \nCover Charge: There is never a cover charge for entry. However\, musicians often pass a donation basket\, so bringing a small amount of cash is recommended.

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:Jules Broussard & Chris Siebert
DESCRIPTION:Chris Siebert on the Hammond Organ and the legendary saxophonist Jules Broussard! \nPrepare to be transported into a “Twin Peaks” dreamscape of deep red lighting and vintage curiosities at The Royal Cuckoo Organ Lounge. This evening features a rare\, high-fidelity collaboration between two of San Francisco’s most respected jazz and blues veterans. With the house Hammond B3 organ built directly into the bar\, the barrier between the music and the patrons vanishes\, creating one of the most intimate listening experiences in the city. \nThe Artists\nJules Broussard (Saxophone): A true Bay Area icon and a “star of the USA\,” Broussard is a Louisiana-born master who has spent over 50 years on the world stage. His resume reads like a history of modern music\, having recorded and performed with luminaries such as Ray Charles\, Carlos Santana\, Boz Scaggs\, and Van Morrison. Awarded “Best Reed Player” by the Bammies\, he brings a versatile style that dances effortlessly between gritty blues\, soulful R&B\, and sophisticated jazz. \nChris Siebert (Hammond Organ): The musical director for the legendary Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers\, Siebert is a virtuoso of the “mighty” Hammond organ. A master of the Swing Era\, boogie-woogie\, and blues\, his soulful\, swinging lines provide the rhythmic heartbeat of the Cuckoo. \nThe Experience\nThe Sound: Expect a set rooted in the “Organ Lounge” tradition of the 1950s and 60s. The duo specializes in soulful jazz and deep blues\, where the warmth of Broussard’s reed meets the percussive\, swirling textures of Siebert’s Hammond B3. \nThe Atmosphere: Settle into a salvaged church pew or a cozy leather armchair under the watchful eyes of a velvet Burt Reynolds. The Royal Cuckoo is famous for its analog authenticity—strictly pre-1975 vinyl when the band isn’t playing\, and a cocktail program that prioritizes mid-century craftsmanship. \nThe Crowd: This is where the “heavy cats” from SFJAZZ and the local neighborhood underground collide. It’s a place to sip a Royal Ginger Snap or a hot apple cider and feel the music rather than just hear it. \n  \n
