A beautiful new jazz club opened in North Beach a few days ago called Keys Jazz Bistro.
Static & Blur was was lucky to be invited to attend an amazing performance on their 2nd night. This is Simon Rowe (organ), Andrew Speight (saxophone), Dave MacNab (guitar) and Brian Fishler (drums) performing in their “Hammond B3 Organ Summit” show.
Here’s their setlist:
Sweet and Lovely
Yesterdays
For Jan
If I Were A Bell
Darn That Dream
Confirmation
A Child Is Born

Beautiful shots Simon! Mikel
Bee here, band leader and drummer of
The Four Corners Jazz Ensemble based
down on the mid peninsula. So great to have your venue open and I hope my group gets a chance to showcase at your fine club this coming spring, 2023! You can ask Andrew Speight about me, Mikel Bee and my grouo as he has sat in with us. Currently a quintet, please check our website out below and I look forward to meeting you very soon at Keys!
Wishing you Simon, your staff, musicians and patrons the best of luck and good times as we move forward in this post-pandemic time! Let’s “keep swinging” and perhaps bring back to North Beach again the sounds and vibe of the great American art form we all love! Live Jazz is Back!
