In spite of my interest in jazz, particularly those performances in the spirit of “classical music by other means,” I have found it difficult to keep readers up to date on when those performances will take place. The last time I was able to inform readers about the schedule at the Joe Henderson Lab of the SFJAZZ Center was when I previewed a generous number of performances taking place this past March. However, as listener, I definitely feel more at home at Mr. Tipple’s Jazz Club; so I am glad to report that a generous number of performances will take place between this evening and the end of the month.
For those that do not yet know about this venue, Mr. Tipple’s is located at 39 Fell Street, on the south side of the street between Van Ness Avenue and Polk Street. Reservations for admission may be made through the OpenTable Web page for the venue. Both food and drink are available and may be purchased separately. Unfortunately, reservations are somewhat limited for tonight. The events taking place for the remainder of this month will showcase the club’s Hammond B3 Organ “before it strolls to its storied home.”
