About Presidio Sessions - In the intimate atmosphere of a house concert, experience jazz, contemporary, and classical music, and enjoy opportunities to converse with performers and each other. Offered in partnership with the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music.
GPS (Good People, Son) is an eclectic jazz-meets-chamber rock sextet led by celebrated guitarist and composer David James. A lifelong Bay Area resident, James has been involved with seminal local groups for decades - sculpting guitar feedback and ambient sounds with the Thessalonians, touring and recording hip-hop with Spearhead and the Coup, playing afrobeat with Afrofunk Experience, and presenting funky art-song with the Beth Custer Ensemble. “Just like his musical resume, the album’s sound is diverse, showing off the sextet’s technical chops and wide-ranging interests. Songs bounce from jazz to waltz to reggae to blues to Afro-beat to Eurobeat.” (Amoeba Music)
