More free music from Oakland Library: Sax-led jazz

Another strong band is coming up at Oakland Public Library's Golden Gate branch for their free Jazz on Sundays summertime series! On July 26, we'll have a chance to hear the terrific Steve Heckman on tenor/alto saxes, Adam Shulman on piano, Aaron Germain on bass, and Isaac Schwartz on drums, as they perform a range of original compositions and jazz standards. Meetup regulars will undoubtedly recognize most, or all, of these names from past Meetup concerts at asssorted venues over the years.

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: By 2:15 p.m. at the Oakland Library Golden Gate Branch at 5606 San Pablo Avenue. Meet in the seating area inside the downstairs auditorium, assuming it's open by then. (NOTE: the library is typically closed on Sundays, but opens its 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.

PARKING: The library parking lot opens at 1:30 p.m.; the library advises concertgoers to arrive by 2:00 p.m. to increase their chances of finding a space in that nine-slot parking lot. There is also parking on the street. If aiming for the library's parking lot, enter the lot via 56th Street. There is an exterior stairwell from the parking lot to the downstairs auditorium.

DIRECTIONS: The Golden Gate Branch of the Oakland Library is located on San Pablo Ave at 56th St, just south of Stanford Avenue.

P.S. I'm adding a post-show dinner option. Less than 2 blocks from the library. https://www.cassaverestaurant.com/cassave-restaurant-taqueria-menu/ See more info in the Meetup Event Page comments section.
