The <a href="https://festivalnapavalley.org/artists/lmr-jazz-orchestra/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LMR Jazz Orchestra</a> returns to Festival Napa Valley with A Vanguard Legacy, a tribute to the groundbreaking Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, whose weekly performances at New York’s Village Vanguard reshaped modern big-band jazz.
The evening is led by trumpet legend Jon Faddis, who joins the orchestra as both guest conductor and featured soloist. Faddis served as lead trumpeter of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra in the early 1970s beginning at just 18, bringing a direct and vibrant link to the ensemble’s storied history. Vocalist Jamie Davis appears in the celebrated baritone role long associated with Joe Williams, revisiting repertoire from the orchestra’s landmark recordings.
From the driving pulse of “Low Down” to the enduring lyricism of “A Child Is Born,” the program highlights the sophistication, swing, and daring that defined a jazz institution, and keeps its spirit very much alive.
Wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase from CIA at Copia. Outside food and beverages are not permitted.
Festival Napa Valley is committed to making concerts affordable for all with the introduction of Choose Your Price. Choose the ticket price that feels right for you. Select the minimum amount, the suggested amount, or choose to contribute more to support the Festival's year-round Arts for All programs.

MODERNISM INC., 724 Ellis Street, San Francisco, CA 94109

July 8 - August 29, 2026, Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00am - 5:30pmModernism is pleased to present "Idylls," an exhibition of new paintings by Sheldon Greenberg. Verdant, whimsical and enigmatic, Greenberg's paintings construct abstracted, idyllic environments that exist somewhere between observation and imagination.Though Greenberg's work has been rooted in figuration, in recent years he has questioned the role of the figure in his paintings, asking himself, "How do I paint with no figure?" The answer emerged through a motif that appears throughout "Idylls": the chair.Inspired in part by the paintings of Edward Hopper, Greenberg employs the chair as a stand-in for the human presence. Occupying the space where a figure might traditionally appear, it suggests habitation while remaining anonymous. Detached from the specificity of portraiture, the chair becomes a metaphor for the figure rather than a depiction of one, allowing viewers to enter the scene without the distractions of narrative or identity. The exceptions are "Afternoon Siesta" and "Electrical Storm," which both depict a woman reclining beneath lush tropical foliage. Their presences are ironic: rather than commanding the composition, they rest within it, as though Greenberg were symbolically putting the figure itself to rest.The paintings are characterized by a continual tension between spatial depth and pictorial flatness. Landscapes, interiors, architectural elements and everyday objects are assembled into compositions that resist coherent perspective. Executed on a scale Greenberg has not explored for many years, these paintings possess a sense of spaciousness and optimism. Saturated with warmth and infused with the imagery of gardens and sunlit interiors, they offer spaces of contemplation where perception becomes fluid. In "Idylls," Greenberg transforms the familiar language of landscape and interior painting into something more interesting: places that feel remembered rather than observed.OPENING RECEPTION WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 6-8PMFreePresented by MODERNISM INC..

July 8 - August 29, 2026, Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00am - 5:30pmModernism is pleased to present "Field Notes," a group exhibition featuring works by Elina Anatole, Michael Dweck, Damian Elwes, Peter Gutkin, Shawn Huckins, Naomie Kremer, Silvia Poloto, Victor Reyes and Sam Tchakalian."Field Notes" brings together nine gallery artists whose work is rooted in the act of observation. Across painting, sculpture, photography and works on paper, the exhibition presents varied responses to encounters with place, natural phenomena and organic forms. Together, these works reflect the enduring practice of looking closely at the world and translating observation into visual expression.Damian Elwes' painting of Pablo Picasso's studio at Rue de la Boetie exemplifies observation translated through research and reconstruction. Drawing upon photographs, archival materials, literary sources and site visits, Elwes meticulously reimagines historic artist studios that no longer exist. Sam Tchakalian's [1929-2004] "Gold Rush" similarly distills a landscape of the past into visual form. Victor Reyes's large-scale geometric painting reflects decades spent absorbing the visual language of urban space.Several works focus on the observation of natural phenomena, like Elina Anatole's painting of a woman emerging from water, capturing a fleeting interaction between body and environment, recording the behavior of water as it carries strands of hair across its surface. Peter Gutkin's sculptures and works on paper draw upon observations of celestial phenomena. Shawn Huckins's painting "War Cloud Behind Sheer Curtain" was inspired by the orange glow cast across the artist's home by smoke from Canadian wildfires, transforming an observed environmental event into an image that reflects both its physical reality and its mediated experience. Michael Dweck's photographs place the figure within water, foliage and natural light, emphasizing moments of encounter between the human body and the landscape.OPENING RECEPTION WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 6-8PMFreePresented by MODERNISM INC..

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
