SUMMARY:Chris McCarthy Quintet ft Takuya Kuroda & Eden Bareket
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Chris McCarthy and trumpeter Takuya Kuroda are two of the most innovative forces in modern jazz\, and together\, they craft a sound that is equal parts sophisticated and electrifying. McCarthy\, praised by The New York Times for his “high skill and sensitivity\,” has made a name for himself as one of New York’s most in-demand pianists\, collaborating with icons like Jerry Bergonzi and tap legend Dormeshia. His genre-blurring approach is showcased on albums like Still Time to Quit and Life’s a Gig\, and now\, he takes the stage at Black Cat with Kuroda and Bareket\, back for an epic collaboration. \nKuroda\, the Kobe-born\, Brooklyn-based trumpeter\, is a master of blending jazz with hip-hop\, neo-soul\, and funk. With eight studio albums to his name—including his latest chart-topping release\, Everyday—his music radiates groove and pure creative energy. A former Blue Note and Concord recording artist\, he has worked with legends like DJ Premier and José James\, carving out a signature sound that is cool\, soulful\, and endlessly engaging. \nExpect deep rhythms\, hypnotic melodies\, and exhilarating interplay as McCarthy and Kuroda bring their genre-defying artistry to Black Cat. This is live jazz at its most inspired. \nBand Lineup: \nChris McCarthy\, piano \nTakuya Kuroda\, trumpet \nEden Bareket\, bari sax \nSam Minaie\, bass \nSteven Crammer\, drums \n

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:Graham Messer
DESCRIPTION:At just 21 years of age\, Graham is a young gun making a name for himself in the world of Jazz today. A dyed-in-the-wool bebop pianist\, he seeks to uphold the tradition of Bud Powell\, Charlie Parker\, Kenny Clarke\, Hank Jones\, and Barry Harris\, among others\, and treats their music equally as soul food and as ground as fertile for intellectual exploration as any of the great European masters of the last 400 years. \nArmed with a rigorous classical training\, he has to quote one local great\, “made a substantive contribution towards raising the ‘mean tempo’ of the tunes played within this sector of the S.F. jazz scene”\, though he feels just as at home on a contemplative ballad or a slow blues. \nYou may find him performing under either one of his apt pseudonyms\, Dud Powell or Barely Harris. (inside jazz joke!)

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.

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.

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.

Since the release of his debut salsa album “Vive Todo Ahora”\, Carlos’ songs have been placed in the top Salsa/Tropical Spotify playlists. It generated buzz all over the world making him a preferred voice in the salsa genre. His roots in the Latin power vocal style produce warm\, beautiful tones as he exhales his melodies. The singer songwriter engages his audience with his pure\, passionate vocals and Carlos is able to rise up and shine. His sound is very identifiable to the Latin American community as it draws from Latin Balada roots and meshes them with R&B and Pop\, creating original sounding salsa songs. His melodies are expressed through his passionate lyrics and his desire to reach people’s souls. \nEl cantante y compositor Nicaragüense Carlos Xavier nos ha mostrado su más reciente disco “Vive Todo Ahora” que fue todo un éxito. Hoy se encuentra en su segunda producción con el All-Star team de\, Efrain “Junito” Davila\, Guianko Gomez y Juan Mayito Aracil. En esta segunda producción\, Carlos y su equipo se juntan con el gran percusionista Marc Quiñones para darles el sabor que va identificar su sonido. Carlos Xavier vuelve de nuevo con sus canciones originales románticas\, pero esta vez con mucha más experiencia. Carlos es muy versátil pero dice que la salsa es donde se siente en casa. Se siente muy orgulloso de poder seguir  esta tradición y disfruta sacar temas para el mundo salsero.

SUMMARY:William Johnston’s Extravagant Superband
DESCRIPTION:Channeling the dark wit and biting social commentary of the 70’s\, multi-instrumentalist William Johnston has sharpened his songwriting craft to a deadly edge\, ready to cut the wires of the systems that keep us in place. Think the acidity of Steely Dan with the smooth finish of Al Green- too modern to be Retro Soul but too funky to simply be Indie Rock.
