Eight Gigs: Davis Jazz & Beat Festival
Sat., Oct. 8, 1 p.m., John Natsoulas Gallery, no cover
Long before the tech boom put a damper on San Francisco’s creative class, the Beat Generation of artists collaborated across mediums in the name of nonconformity and counterculture. The ninth annual Davis Jazz & Beat Festival aims to keep that spirit alive. On two stages, poets, painters, filmmakers and dancers will join musicians, including Amendola vs. Blades, Rent Romus Life’s Blood Ensemble and the Brubeck Institute Jazz Quintet (pictured). The latter comes from the University of the Pacific and took home awards the past three years for the best collegiate jazz group in the country. 521 First Street in Davis, http://natsoulas.com.
