FREE! Brown Bag Jazz Hangs: Katy Stephan on Chet Baker the Vocalist

Join us for casual daytime talks and listening sessions with leading lights of the Bay Area jazz community. Bring your own lunch or order ahead from the JazzCaffè. Wednesdays at lunchtime! Free, drop-ins welcome.Equally adept at classical, jazz, and pop, Bay Area vocalist and pianist Katy Stephan aims to cross uncharted territory with every musical project. Her voice has been featured in major motion picture soundtracks (XMen: Dark Phoenix, Catwoman, The Time Machine), TV movies (EarthSea), and a sitcom theme (Hot Properties), and she has been a soloist with the Oakland East Bay Symphony for their concert versions of Candide, Follies, and Leonard Bernstein’s Mass. She has also composed and performed original music for theatre (Word For Word, Upon These Boards, Porchlight), dance (Project Agora, Requisite Dance, Copious Dance Theatre, straw dogs), and circus (Circus Bella, Vau de Vire). Stephan has been the resident singing pianist at the Comstock Saloon in San Francisco’s North Beach since 2011. Her most recent home-recorded collection of original songs, We Lived Here, was named one of the San Francisco Chronicle’s “Best Local Releases” of 2022.
