The Berkeley Jazz Workshops have been meeting weekly since 1987, providing coaching, a place to meet, a full rhythm section, and a wide range of material. Clark Suprynowics has been teaching and coaching adult students looking to "play in a band" for almost 40 years. At any given time 3 or 4 of these bands are ready to show what they've got, and the results include earnest mid-level strivers and near-professional quality players.
Ensemble leader Clark Suprynowicz is a bassist and composer who studied with Dave Holland in New York City. He's played with a wide variety of artists, including Tom Waits, John Zorn, and Bill Frisell. He's taught musicianship and composition at the Crowden School, at Berkeley High, at SOTA, and at the SF Conservatory.
Tickets are $10 general admission. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show.
Doors open 30 minutes before show time. We accept cash or Venmo only at the door.
The Back Room is an all-ages, BYOB (for those 21+) space, dedicated to (mostly) acoustic music of all kinds. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages. The venue is ADA accessible. If you need more information or have any questions, please call us: #510-381-1997.
Thank you for your support!
Please refrain from using your phone during performances, and if you use your camera or video, please disable the flash.
Although masks are no longer required, we strongly encourage their use to keep everyone safe in our intimate space.
