An award-winning jazz vocalist and concert pianist, Marina Pacowski just won Best Jazz Artist and Best Jazz Album at the 2026 World Entertainment Awards in Hollywood. Born in France and based in LA, she is a true improvising vocalist and has performed at LA’s major jazz venues. As a concert pianist, she has toured internationally as well as in the US. Her two Summit Records CD’s (“Inner Urge” and “New Jazz Standards, Volume 7: The Music of Carl Saunders”) feature a Who’s Who of jazz players including Joel Frahm, John Clayton, Roy McCurdy, Josh Nelson, and Ken Peplowski. Marina’s music is enjoying widespread airplay and rave reviews across the globe. She is also a respected educator, serving on the faculty at the Conservatoire Maurice Ravel in France as well as being the voice mentor for the LA Jazz Society’s Bill Green Mentorship Program.

“It is kind of rare when you hear a vocalist who can truly fit into the category of jazz singer. Such a singer is Marina Pacowski. Pacowski has a vocal quality when singing lyrics that is a blend of Blossom Dearie and Billie Holiday. Her scatting is rangy and intelligent. There are not many debut albums by a vocalist that reach the heights of excellence that Marina Pacowski has achieved on this one.”

Here they come. That notorious nine-piece jazz band out of LA that takes classic rock staples and timeless jazz standards and rearranges them into a colorful blend of ‘Mutt-Pop’.

Led by singer Sonny Moon and featuring top SoCal session pros, the presentation is swank, quirky, irreverent retro fun. The music is a martini mix of straight-ahead, big band swing, Latin, lounge and bop, with bits and pieces of rock quotes thrown in just to see if you’re payin’ attention. And it’s a gas.

Simply put, NUTTY is classic rock, all jazzed-up. And they’re coming. Finally.

"It's pure Vegas--really good Vegas--and a good time"

Ventura-based instrumental groove band Matterform will be kicking off Halloween weekend by celebrating the release of their new vinyl and joined by Surge Du Monde & Lolo Zebra.

Living at the intersection of deep pocket, cosmic improvisation, and jazz harmony. Matterform draws from jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, and dance music to build immersive instrumental journeys. Psychedelic guitar leads, wailing sax lines and floaty piano which thread through lush jazz harmonies, swirling textures, and rhythm sections that stay deep in the pocket.

Whether stretching out live or locking into tightly composed sections, the band thrives on momentum, patience, and release. It’s music for moving bodies, open minds, and listeners who appreciate groove-driven improvisation, rich harmony, and collective energy over flash. Featuring: Drew Espejo (Drums) Javi Avila (keys) Tony Pelosi (guitar) Zach Manpearl (Bass/organ) Chet Toner (saxophone/ guitar) Taylor Hopkins (bass) Rafa Langa (percussion)

Tony Ybarra Presents: Spirits of Jazz: Wes Montgomery, Legend of the Thumb

1:30pm - Doors

2pm - Show

Tickets - $15

He never took a lesson. Self-taught, playing entirely by ear, Wes Montgomery worked a day job to support his family and built one of the most influential sounds in jazz guitar history at night, off the clock, on his own terms — thumb instead of pick, warm rounded octaves that made the guitar sing. This Halloween, we raise his spirit back to the stage for one more set.

Tony Ybarra Presents: Magia Negra: Black Magic Woman, Santana Unplugged

7:30pm - Doors

8:00pm - Show

$20 - Advance

$30 - At the door

There's a reason "Black Magic Woman" has haunted Latin rock for fifty years — it doesn't just describe a spell, it casts one. As Día de los Muertos thins the veil between worlds, that same magic returns through Spanish guitars and the shadows that gather around them.

Experience the legend. Stay for the magic.

Richard T Bear boasts a career that spans more than 40 years, one that led to a string of solo albums and collaborations with numerous music icons. In 1978, he signed with RCA Records and released his debut album, Red, Hot, and Blue, produced by Jack Richardson (Bob Seger, The Guess Who) that featured Les Dudek, Billy Squier, Paul Shaffer, and The Brecker Brothers. The album spawned the single “Sunshine Hotel.” A remix of the song reached the top five on the world dance charts before becoming the dance staple that it remains today. A second album followed titled, “Bear” that included a rendition of The Rolling Stones’ classic, “Ruby Tuesday” and Captured Alive, a concert recorded in Hamburg, Germany. In 1984, he moved to Teldec Records, which led to the release of “The Bear Truth,” and the Giorgio Moroder produced album “The Runner.”

In 2021, T Bear released his first studio album in 25 years, “Fresh Bear Tracks,” chock full of blues/rock and soulful tracks featuring special appearances by Stephen Stills, Robby Krieger, Edgar Winter, Walter Trout, Laurence Juber (Wings), Denny Seiwell (Wings), Tony Braunagel, Tom Scott, Lenny Castro, and more. His latest album, “The Way of the World,” co-produced by Tony Braunagel and Laurence Juber, was released in early 2024, and garnered critical acclaim in Europe as well as the U.S. The bonus track, “Red Harvest,” featured a duet with Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers.
