Alt Jazz Ark Announcements

This mid-month update is to
help welcome new subscribers

And announce imminent
newly-added gigs
plus a schedule change

Events

Jazz Jam Session
@ Mercury Cafe

Thursday, 15 February 2024
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
201 Octavia St., SF CA 94102

The Jam session with the
house trio called
Fuck The Supreme Court!

The band name emerged
the day the court killed
reproductive rights

This epitaph was chalked
on the sandwich board out front
in response to the ruling

People wondered:
was it the band name?

So, we took it on
as an evergreen reminder:

SCOTUS is a profoundly corrupt

and undemocratic institution
currently aligned with fascists

Featuring

Elaine Alt - saxophone
Paul Yago - bass
Josh Shultheiss - drums

Musical collaborators

welcome!

Bring your axe
or sit in on piano
drums or bass

We can play out of
the real books
or read your charts
