Jazz Fest kick-off

The North Beach Jazz Fest will get underway this Wednesday for the rest of the week, showcasing a whole range of acts adding to the already vibrant North Beach scene. Join the revelers on wed when Jazz on Grant gets going with acts in venues all the way down the street.

The festivities begin with a performance by the Realistic Orchestra at the SF Italian Athletic Club at 7pm. Quoting from their website, "Led by composer/trombonist/bassist Adam Theis, Realistic is a 20+ piece jazz orchestra composed from the "Jazz Mafia" collective. Other announced Jazz on Grant artists include Boca do Rio, Times Four, and NBJF legend BJ Papa."

Looking at the line-up, I don't think you can go wrong heading to North Beach this Wed! Or for any of their other events either! Sunday is Jazz in the park - so grab a slice and head on over.
