Josh Nelson's West Coast Jazz Trio

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

The Sound Room

A don&#x27;t miss event!!!As one of the most astounding jazz pianists of the day, anything Josh produces is amazing...and this will be no exception.Join us as the trio takes us on a review of West Coast Jazz. Past...present...future. West Coast jazz is a style performed by jazz musicians in California (and primarily in Los Angeles) in the &#x27;50s and early &#x27;60s. As opposed to the hard-bop sound dominant on the East Coast during that time, the West Coast sound was a bit mellower and more lyrical, with blended harmonies and — broadly speaking — more interest in composition and arrangement than improvisation. Nelson has performed with some of the most respected names in jazz, including Kurt Elling, John Pizzarelli, Benny Golson, Sheila Jordan, John Clayton, George Mraz, Jeff Hamilton, Dave Koz, Joe Chambers, Peter Erskine, Samara Joy and Kenny Washington. Nelson will be joined by veteran bassist Eric Sittner and Dutch drummer Kevin van den Elzen, who is a specialist in west coast jazz history.BTW... the Warriors game will be on upfront and should be complete about the time the band starts!
