The end of the year brings a special group of musicians to North Coast Brewing’s regular Friday and Saturday evening Dinner Jazz. On Friday, December 27 and Saturday, December 28 an exceptional group of six musicians will perform jazz standards on the newly built stage in the Sequoia Room.

The sextet includes Dinner Jazz regulars and coastal jazz icons Richard Cooper on the 1877 Weller Square Grand Piano and Francis Vanek on tenor sax. Special guests include guitar virtuoso Randy Vincent, rising stars Levi Saelua on alto sax and Gabe Yanez on drums, and seasoned professional and all-around sideman Greg D’Augelli on bass.

Dinner Jazz guests will have the opportunity to enjoy North Coast Brewing’s fare while experiencing the excitement of live performance and the musical collaboration and improvisation that is the soul of jazz.

Dinner Jazz begins at 6 pm and the musicians will perform until 9 pm. Reservations are not required. North Coast Brewing’s Sequoia Room is in the Brewery Taproom on the southeast corner of Main and Pine Streets in Fort Bragg.
