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:Levit-Behrman Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Saxophonist Jesse Levit and trumpeter Joel Behrman have teamed up on an exciting new project introducing fresh and powerful original music to the stage. After playing together in various groups around town they discovered a shared interest in presenting repertoire sourced by themselves and by current musicians they’ve found incredibly inspiring. “The challenge that arises from this kind of endeavor is that this is music you can’t just throw it together in a sound check before the gig\,” says Behrman\, “we’ve committed to working this music outside of the club and coming in super tight”

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!)

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
