SUMMARY:The San Francisco Invitational Jam
DESCRIPTION:Step into the inner circle of the city’s music scene with THE San Francisco Invitational Jam at Tupelo. Held every Monday night from 9:00 PM – 1:00 AM\, this is widely considered the definitive jam session for professional players and serious students of the craft. Hosted by the “nastiest rhythm section this side of South Dakota”—Andrew Coutti on drums and Young Blake on bass—the evening serves as a high-stakes proving ground where the Bay Area’s best talent comes to stretch their creative muscles. \nThe Sound: This isn’t your average open mic; it is a high-octane exploration of Roots\, Soul\, R&B\, and Funk. The house band sets a blistering pace\, and the music often leans into deep-pocket grooves and sophisticated jazz-fusion arrangements that demand technical precision and quick improvisational thinking. \nThe “Invitational” Edge: While the session is open to high-level guests\, it maintains an invitational spirit\, meaning the stage is curated to ensure a top-tier musical experience for the audience. Each week features a different special guest vocalist\, ensuring that the “soul” of the night is always fresh and evolving. \nA Networking Hub: Monday nights at Tupelo act as the unofficial headquarters for off-duty working musicians. It’s a place where bandleaders scout for subs\, songwriters find collaborators\, and the community gathers to celebrate the raw\, unscripted power of live music. \nNo Cover\, All Access: Despite the world-class musicianship on display\, there is no cover charge. It provides an accessible “masterclass” environment for fans who want to see how the city’s musical engine runs behind the scenes. \n\nAbout the Invitational Jam\nFounded on the belief that San Francisco needs a consistent home for professional musical dialogue\, the Invitational Jam has outlasted countless other sessions in the city. Hosts Andrew Coutti and Young Blake are veteran players known for their “unprecedented chemistry” and ability to back any guest with a rock-solid\, funky foundation. Over the years\, the jam has hosted everyone from local legends to touring pros\, cementing Tupelo’s reputation as a vital sanctuary for the preservation of San Francisco’s live R&B and Funk traditions.

SUMMARY:The North Beach Django
DESCRIPTION:Transport yourself to a 1930s sidewalk café in Montmartre as North Beach Django takes residency at Paris 75 every Tuesday. Located on the edge of the historic Broadway corridor\, this charming French lounge provides the perfect backdrop for the “Hot Club” sound. With its selection of authentic French cocktails and wines\, the venue feels less like a San Francisco bar and more like a secret sanctuary for lovers of European jazz and vintage aesthetics. \nThe Sound: North Beach Django delivers an authentic exploration of Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz). Their sound is defined by the “pumping” rhythm of acoustic guitars and soaring\, melodic solos. Expect a repertoire of high-speed swing\, haunting French musette waltzes (like “L’Indifférence”)\, and soulful ballads that capture the bittersweet spirit of the early 20th century. \nThe Django Legacy: The group’s mission is to honor the revolutionary style of Django Reinhardt\, the legendary Romani-French guitarist who pioneered this genre. Despite losing the use of two fingers in a fire\, Reinhardt’s virtuosic speed and unique harmonic language changed jazz forever. The band keeps this fire alive\, utilizing the same acoustic string-band format—no drums\, just pure rhythmic drive. \nThe Players: The group is led by a core of the Bay Area’s finest “manouche” specialists\, often featuring Ned Boynton on guitar\, Eddie Scher on guitar\, and Kenan O’Brien on bass. Their chemistry is a masterclass in the “interlocking” style of Gypsy Swing\, where the lead and rhythm guitars work in a constant\, high-speed dialogue. \nThe Community Jam: In the spirit of the Parisian cafés where this music was born\, the evening often evolves into a welcoming session. After the first set\, the band frequently opens the floor to “acoustic sitter-inners”—strings\, accordions\, and woodwinds—making it a vibrant hub for the local jazz community. \n\nAbout Paris 75\nParis 75 is a sophisticated French cocktail lounge that serves as a cultural bridge between San Francisco and the “City of Light.” Named after the postal code for Paris\, the bar specializes in regional French wines and signature cocktails like the “French 75.” The intimate\, candlelit space is designed for conversation and attentive listening\, making it the ideal home for the acoustic nuances of North Beach Django. It is a place where time slows down\, and the legacy of the great European troubadours feels remarkably present.

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:The Guitar Trifecta
DESCRIPTION:Having worked together for decades\,Guitar Trifecta debut at Keys with their unique brand of interplay. Comprised of veterans Lloyd Gregory\,Carl Lockett and Eddie Pasternak\, these giants have blended their individual styles into one singular voice. \nCarl Lockett is a Bay Area legend. A musical child prodigy\, Carl started out as a drummer\, then went to the guitar. By the age of 14\, he was playing gigs around the Bay Area\, even opening for the legendary Redd Foxx’s comedy shows. For over 4 decades\, he has made a name for himself in the music industry. \nEternally youthful\, and upbeat\, he still wears his passion for music on his sleeve. At his live shows\, if you watch closely\, you’ll often see him break into a big grin\, the music just gives him that much joy. \nAn award-winning guitarist and composer\, San Francisco based Lloyd Gregory is a well-established musician whose style is smooth\, soulful\, melodic\, flowing and immediately charismatic. His extensive R&B roots add a distinct texture to his styling. Gregory is a master of both acoustic and electric guitar. \n“Lloyd expertly fuses soul\, pop and jazz\, forging a hybrid that is both enjoyable and intellectually stimulating.” — Minor 7th: Acoustic Music Review \n“I love Lloyd’s style as a musician. He is a sweet\, warm guy\, which comes out in his music. His music reminds me of a modern-day Wes Montgomery.” — the legendary Stanley Clarke \nEddie Pasternak is a delightful presence with an abundance of warmth\, wit\, and charm. He consistently presents himself with the greatest of elegance and class. It is his combination of musicianship\, style and personality that sets Eddie apart from other fine local musicians and makes him the perfect musical choice for the sophisticated venues of the San Francisco Bay Area. \nFor a quarter century\, Eddie has been a mainstay of the Bay Area music scene. Eddie’s guitar work has been a welcome feature in swing-oriented performances with former members of Count Basie and Duke Ellington’s bands as well as in Motown dance bands. He has frequently performed in the Bay Area’s finest hotels and major local events. Noted Bay Area music critic Lee Hiderbrand describes him as a “remarkable guitarist who plays basslines and chords simultaneously. He generates intense swing.“ \nEddie Studied with Warren Nunes from 1968 to 1975. Then\, continued studying with pianists – Dick Hidman\, Don Haas\, Marcos Silva. Later\, with guitarists – Joe Pass and John Stowell.
