Jazz aficionados from throughout Oakland are soon expected to attend a concert commemorating the life of on the industry's living legends. This event will also be featuring the talents of another well-known Bay Area musician.
Larry Vuckovich aims to celebrate his 90th birthday in style with the help of a live concert slated to be held in Oakland. Vukovich is considered by many to be a jazz pioneer thanks to his ability to imbue his songs with other genres including gypsy, Balkan ethnic, and Roma folk. He has played with other artists such as Dexter Gordon, Cab Calloway, and Milt Jackson.
Mr. Vuckovich will be joined on stage by guitarist Kai Lyons. Lyons hails from San Francisco, and he is currently a professor at Cal State East Bay Hayward. He has collaborated with names such as Atta Kid, Marcus Shelby, and John Santos.
Coordinators of live concerts often turn to decidedly practical marketing techniques when preparing for an upcoming event. Bulk flyer printing is a prime example, as this cost-effective method is capable of reaching a broad audience. Placing playbills in local restaurants, and playing relevant music on community radio stations are other possibilities.
Oakland jazz fans will be attending the Larry Vuckovich 90th Birthday Celebration on Sunday, December 6th at 5 PM. This event is being hosted by the Piedmont Piano Company located at 1728 San Pablo Avenue. Tickets cost $25 in advance, and $30 at the entrance.
