Free show -->> Jazz at Oakland Library

As part of the Oakland Public Library's returning Jazz on Sundays series at their Golden Gate branch, trombonist and composer Charles Hamilton (a California Hall of Fame inductee who directed the world-renowned Berkeley High School jazz program for 28 years) will head up a terrific band that includes the fabulous Tammy Hall on piano, as well as Charles Thomas on bass, Deszon Claiborne, on drums, and Benjamin Ball on alto sax. Their band will perform from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. They will be preceded by a youth group performing from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

COST: The show itself is free, but, as always, I welcome $1.00 donations from Meetup attendees to offset the $180.00 per year that Meetup charges me as head organizer.

WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: At 2:15 p.m. at the Oakland Library Golden Gate Branch at 5606 San Pablo Avenue. Meet inside the auditorium, assuming it's open by then. (NOTE: the library is typically closed on Sundays, but opens its downstairs auditorium for its Jazz on Sundays events about a half-hour before showtime.)

HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, with short, salt & pepper hair and glasses. (See my pic with my Meetup profile.) I'll send my mobile number to RSVPers before the event, and if I'm missing anyone when I get seated, I'll post a Comment on the Meetup Event Page with my location info.

TRANSIT: I believe the AC Transit bus line 72 stops at/near this library branch, with other stops including uptown Oakland (across from the 19th Street BART station) and the El Cerrito Plaza BART station. Check the AC Transit website for details. Note for drivers: I assume that parking is on the street.
