On Thursday, June 25th, Keys Jazz Bistro in San Francisco, plays host to an evening that is equal parts concert, history lesson, and celebration -- when Roberta Donnay & The Prohibition Mob take the stage for From Bessie to Billie, a stunning tribute to the women who built jazz and blues from the ground up.
An award-winning singer and songwriter whose music has been featured on television and film, Roberta Donnay has spent her career living inside this music. It shows. This isn't nostalgia for its own sake -- it's a genuine love letter to the pioneering women of the Jazz Age, performed with the joy and grit they deserve.
Backing her every step of the way is The Prohibition Mob: a tight, swinging, deeply soulful band that turns the bandstand into a time machine. High-stepping rhythms, bluesy piano, a trombone that croons as much as it growls, and a rhythm section that locks in and never lets go -- together they create the kind of musical atmosphere that makes it nearly impossible to stay in your seat.
Featuring: John R. Burr - piano · Mike Rinta - trombone · Heshima Mark Williams - bass · Mark Lee - drums · Noel Jewkes - Sax
