World-class pianist & vocalist Johnny O'Neal's Black Cat residency kicks off tonight! https://blackcatsf.com/event/johnnyonealtrio/ Here's what @sfclassicalvoice has to say about @johnnyonealmusic's upcoming performances: "What makes his Black Cat run so exceptional is that prying O’Neal out of Gotham is a major accomplishment. He’s one of those rare players who doesn’t need to leave town to stay busy. 'People say "You’re the most workingest pianist in New York,"' O’Neal say...s, pointing to four ongoing residencies, including Ginny’s Supper Club, Minton’s, Smoke, and Mezzrow. 'I’m really grateful for that. I’ve been at Smoke for 10 yeas. The thing is, I treat a residency like an event, like it’s the first time I ever played there. I keep it fresh, and I’ve never had a problem not drawing.'" Join us this weekend! Shows through Saturday 2/25. Make your reservations now!

Don't miss your chance to catch gifted sax player, vocalist, and composer Kenneth Whalum at Black Cat this weekend! Shows Friday through Sunday. Make your reservations now! Video: Ezra J Stanley
