Mike Lipskin Trio (7:30-8:30pm)

We are excited to welcome back to Blue Room long-time Bay Area Stride Jazz Pianist, Mike Lipskin, with his jazz trio!

He will be joined by Heidi Evelyn, Vintage Jazz Vocals & Joe McKinley, Acoustic Bass

These fine jazz musicians will be performing Mike's special arrangements of Great American Songbook. 

"Only a handful of contemporary jazz pianists play Harlem Stride Jazz Piano, the sound of Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Duke Ellington, Willie the Lion Smith and Art Tatum. Mike Lipskin has devoted his life to stride jazz, is one of these rare pianists and has even created his own sound within stride jazz piano."

Heidi Evelyn is an expert performing vintage vocal jazz in the Bay Area. She showcases her extensive knowledge of authentic stylings from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s in every performance. She leads several bands in various styles from ragtime and early blues to New Orleans…
