SUMMARY:Matei Predescu
DESCRIPTION:Matei Predescu is a Romanian-American pianist\, keyboardist\, composer\, and improviser whose omnivorous musical pursuits range from their modern jazz and creative music project “Fictions/Ficțiuni” to experimental noise and electronic ambient projects. \nBorn and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Matei’s original music explores themes of cultural memory\, generational trauma\, and Romanian American identity through the intersection of Black American music\, Eastern European folk music traditions\, and experimental music. \nMatei studied jazz piano and improvised music at Oberlin Conservatory with Dan Wall and Dana Jessen\, and received tutelage from luminary musicians like Billy Hart\, Gary Bartz\, Eddie Henderson\, as well as interdisciplinary mentorship from mixed media artist Johnny Coleman. Matei’s work is also deeply rooted in interdisciplinary collaboration with filmmakers and visual artists\, including forays into film scoring and improvised dance accompaniment. \nAs a composer\, Predescu’s music explores the extremes between density and negative space. Complex metric structures and poignant lyricism are woven together to create engaging narratives that unfurl in unexpected directions. Predescu’s improvisatory approach finds common ground between the distinct styles of McCoy Tyner and Cecil Taylor\, Geri Allen and Fred Hersch\, while staying firmly rooted in the blues aesthetics of Thelonious Monk. Above all\, Predescu seeks creative inspiration from the classic Romanian concept of “haz de necaz”\, or laughing in the face of misfortune with a sense of irreverence\, wit\, and steadfastness. \nMatei Predescu | Piano\nNick Panoutsos | Bass\nMiles Turk | Drums

SUMMARY:Marcus Shelby Sextet “Conversation: The Language of Charles Mingus”
DESCRIPTION:Marcus Shelby and his Sextet is honored to return back to Keys Jazz Bistro in the heart of San Francisco\, where they will present “Conversation: The Language of Charles Mingus”. The program will include rarely performed Mingus compositions\, excerpts from “Beneath the Underdog”\, film clips\, and oratory by bandleader and bassist Marcus Shelby. Charles Mingus was one of the most influential\, iconic\, and prolific composers and bassists in the history of American music. His music was a critical part of the of the Civil Rights movement\, fusing lyrics\, chants\, and shouts with inventive and layered melodies. His harmonic language reflected a piercing mood that was an extension of his colorful character and personality often under attack by racism and social injustices. “Conversation: The Language of Charles Mingus” includes rarely performed Mingus compositions written between 1950-1960\, excerpts and other writings by Mingus\, and archival film clips providing listeners with a powerful deep dive into the creative life of one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century.\nMarcus Shelby Sextet\nDarren Johnston (trumpet)\nTony Peebles (alto sax)\nDanny Lubin-Laden (trombone)\nGreg Jacobs (piano)\nTim Angulo (drums)\nMarcus Shelby (bass/narrator)

SUMMARY:Earl Thomas The Storyteller
DESCRIPTION:Earl Thomas Bluestory Telling A New Story About the Blues Step into Bluestory — the electrifying new production by Earl Thomas \nCreated exclusively for the Biscuits & Blues intimate cabaret setting\, Thomas strips the blues to its bare soul and rebuilds it as pure theatre. \nWith acoustic slide guitar\, stand up bass\, drums\, and harmonica\, Thomas creates a sound that is raw\, refined\, and irresponsible. \nFrom the haunting cries of Robert Johnson\, the grit of Jimmy Reed and Elmore James\, the power of Muddy Waters\, and the elegance of B.B. King\, Bluestory is the living evolution of the blues — culminating in Thomas’s own acclaimed original compositions; the songs covered by Etta James\, Solomon Burke\, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins\, and Sir Tom Jones. \nPart confession\, part revelation — Bluestory is more than a concert. It’s Earl Thomas reimagining the blues as story\, spirit\, and song. This is Earl Thomas at his absolute best and this is the show not to miss.

His collaborations with dance music innovator Miguel Migs have also garnered international attention; their latest track\, “Keep on Dreaming\,” was released earlier this year on Salted Music. \nLuther has a distinctive knack for reinterpretation\, often covering classics with a fresh\, edgy twist. \nVersatile and genre-defying\, Luther’s show will reimagine a portion of holiday classics but ultimately brings the funk and heavy jams to keep audience members swaying and singing along in their seats. Sade and Stevie Wonder lovers unite under a groove. Joining Martin are Howard Wiley\, Clark Sims and the members of Graham Central Station\, Brian Braziel\, Wilton Rabb and Dave Council. Prince Vs Rick James or Ohio Players vs Parliament!!
