Jazz in San Francisco


I will be in San Francisco next weekend (Nov 7-10). Can anyone recommend a few nice spots for jazz? I will be staying at a hotel situated between the Financial District, the Moscone Convention Center, and Union Square. I will be getting around by taxi....so getting to Oakland is out of the question.

thanks,

Mitch

From SFJazz:
Nancy Wilson at the Masonic on Sat. I haven't been to the Masonic but it's a short taxi from downtown.

Kitty Margolis at the Palace of the Legion of Honor on Sunday. Nice museum. Near Land's End on the other side of town. The venue must be intimate. I'd love to see her.

Yoshi's:
Excellent, modern venue. Table service. Eat there (very good Japanese food) and they'll save you a front row seat. I think I'd spring for a taxi, though, at least for the ride home. I'm not sure how close the BART station is but the neighborhood isn't good. An excellent idea would be a ferry from S.F. to Jack London Square. Yoshi's is adjacent to Jack London Square. Don't know the schedule, though.

Dress warm. Enjoy!
