SFJAZZ Spring Season
The San Francisco Jazz Festival has garnered both praise and controversy for close to a quarter century by combining seemingly disparate visions: an appreciation for jazz legends and a taste for the innovative. For a long time that vision could only be seen (and heard) four weeks a year - it wasn't until 2000 that SFJAZZ, the nonprofit organization that presents the festival, expanded their scope and became a year-round source for world-class live jazz. Next week marks the beginning of the 8th Annual SF JAZZ Spring Season, and it looks like the concerts are hotter than ever, as the opening event is already sold out. Act fast, though, and you may catch Etta James, who comes into town Saturday to show everyone just why they know her name. Date: Thurs. 3/8 - Sat. 6/23, linkMore Info. (EK)

Fresno Boys, Lord JP
Music: house
Cover:
tba
More Info: Pink

God Save Pink strives to bring the sophisticated and elevated sensibilities of a centuries-old empire to one of SF's best venues.

Lenny Fontana has made a number of appearances at Fag Fridays and after each one this NYC DJ was the talk of the town. His deep, soulful sets are always fluid and full of lots of energy. The kind of energy that leaves the dancefloor sweatin' and shoutin' in praise as this master shows what the world has taught him over the past two decades. Rest up, meditate, or do whatever you need to do to get ready for this night that you won't want to end. (KW)
