From Django to Tango

This event at a favorite Meetup venue features Grammy-winning violinist Mads Tolling, Grammy-nominated accordionist-pianist Sam Reider, and acclaimed bassist Sam Bevan in a performance of classic and original pieces that draw on rhythms ranging from Argentine tango to Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche (aka "gypsy" jazz) and beyond.

EVENT COST: The show costs about $42 (with Eventbrite service fee) for concert tickets when bought online.

I am posting this event earlier than usual, because it is assigned seating, and because I think it will sell out. Some central tables have already filled up.

SEATING: This show is ASSIGNED seating, mainly at four-person tables. NOTE that I will be sitting at Table Twelve Seat B. If possible, please buy your tickets for seats at the same table or adjoining tables.

WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: I recommend arriving at the Sound Room by about 7:00 p.m. so you have more time to socialize with your fellow Meetup members, and possibly order any food or drinks you want for yourself. (The show starts shortly after 7:30 p.m. and will go to at least 10:00 p.m. There are typically two sets with one intermission at this venue.)

HOW TO FIND ME: I'll email my cellphone number and final details to RSVPers prior to the event date. Also, you can see my photo with my Meetup profile. (I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, now with glasses and short, salt-&-pepper hair.)

LOCATION/TRANSIT: The Sound Room is at 3022 Broadway (directly across from Sprouts). At least one AC Transit bus line goes to the Sound Room from Oakland BART stations, and possibly ones in El Cerrito and Richmond. (The closest Oakland BART stations are at 19th Street and in Rockridge.)

PARKING: Free parking is available on Broadway and on side streets. There are also supervised parking lots at Summit Medical Center and Kaiser Medical Center – both of which are 2 blocks away – that are available for a fee.

FOOD OPTION: The Sound Room has a limited but good menu of small plates (entrees, appetizers, and desserts) and drinks that you can enjoy before or during the show. The venue emails RSVPers the current menu on the day of the show. (There is no minimum requirement for ordering food or drink, but these purchases help cover this nonprofit's operating costs.)
