Where groove meets spirit—an intimate Wednesday-night collision of jazz, soul, gospel, funk, and R&B.

JaZzLine INSTITUTE Presents The Soul Sessions

The Soul Sessions bring some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians to Black Cat for a weekly night built around deep groove, soulful improvisation, and the energy that happens when world-class players meet in an intimate room.

Led by pianist Joe Warner, with Dante “Taz” Roberson on drums and Michael “Tiny” Lindsey on bass, the series brings together legends, rising stars, and special guests for music that moves freely between jazz, gospel, funk, soul, and R&B. No two nights are quite the same.

This week, Andre Thierry joins the show, bringing his unmistakable blend of Zydeco, blues, funk, soul, and French-Kreole tradition.

Seats are limited. The vibe is undeniable. Make your reservations now while supplies last. The $10 cash tickets are available at the door based on availability.

Poetic, boundary-crossing modern jazz where acoustic lyricism meets electronic texture, classical color, and hip-hop influence.

French-American quartet NO(w) Beauty arrives at Black Cat with a sound that feels cinematic, searching, and deeply human. Their acclaimed debut established them as one of contemporary jazz’s most distinctive new voices, earning honors from Jazz Magazine, Jazz News, Académie Charles Cros, FIP, and the Académie du Jazz.

Their new album, (un)Seen, expands that language with electronic textures, string arrangements, and a collaboration with folk artist Sam Amidon. The result is modern jazz with emotional weight, stylistic freedom, and a strong sense of beauty beneath the surface.

Band Lineup:

Enzo Carniel, piano

Hermon Mehari, trumpet

Damien Varaillon, double bass

Stéphane Adsuar, drums

Tickets: $20 , $40 , $50 , $60
