About the Back Street Sunday Jazz Series...The Back Street Sunday Jazz Series provides a space for audiences to experience some of the Bay Area's most important music - music that just doesn't get heard enough - by providing a space for Bay Area musicians to do what they do best. We want to help listeners find the music they love, and we want to give them an opportunity to see how much the musicians here shape the national and international jazz scene. In the coming months we will present exciting, challenging, and always satisfying new music. As well as the music you didn't hear the first time around.

About the Black Musicians Forum...The Black Musicians Forum (BMF) traces its roots to a collaborative effort by Bay Area African American musicians to re-assert the legacy of the music we call jazz and to make sure that African American musicians will always be a part of it. Through mutual support and artistic cooperation we'll create the performance opportunities we need. The Black Musicians Forum says "accept no substitutes."
