Meyhouse San Ramon & Jazz Club

Doors open: 5:00 PM &amp; 8:00 PM Show: 6:30 PM &amp; 8:30 PM Meyhouse Jazz welcomes acclaimed vocalist Azure McCall, Hawaii’s celebrated “First Lady of Jazz,” for An Evening with Thelonious Monk&nbsp;— a special program exploring the music and enduring legacy of one of the most distinctive composers in jazz history.


Known for her rich, expressive voice, effortless swing, and natural gift for storytelling, McCall brings a vocalist’s perspective to Monk’s unmistakable musical world. His compositions — angular yet lyrical, playful yet deeply soulful — have become an essential part of the jazz repertoire, offering endless possibilities for interpretation and improvisation.

With warmth, humor, and decades of experience on the international jazz stage, McCall makes each song her own while remaining deeply rooted in the traditions of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae.

A multi-award-winning vocalist, McCall’s remarkable career includes touring as vocalist with legendary bassist Ray Brown, becoming the first singer to work with Freddie Hubbard’s band, and performing alongside artists including Frank Morgan, Joe Lovano, Geoffrey Keezer, Curtis Lundy, and Dizzy Gillespie. She has performed around the world in more than 50 countries and continues to share her deep knowledge of jazz as both a performer and educator.

An Evening with Thelonious Monk&nbsp;brings together two unmistakable musical personalities: Monk’s singular compositions and McCall’s deeply personal approach to song. Expect an intimate evening of swing, improvisation, storytelling, and timeless jazz.

For over a year, people across America have come together to celebrate the power of the people. No Kings: Vote Early is an invitation to keep that spirit going with a day of community, connection, and nonpartisan voter participation.
We are taking this opportunity to organize a fun event where voters of all stripes, current and future, are celebrated.
Join us at Emerald Glen Park for a relaxed, joyful afternoon designed for parents, kids, and neighbors to connect, enjoy the fresh air, and take part in our American civic life together. In celebration of the season, costumes are encouraged!
Here’s what’s in store: - Fun for Kids: Face painting, hands-on craft stations, and carnival-style games. - Mock Voting: A playful way for kids and parents to practice democracy. - Meet &amp; Greet: Chat casually with friendly local civic leaders. - Nonpartisan Voter Info: Voter registration, information on early voting and ballot safety with zero political pitches. - Stroll to the Polls: Bring your ballot and join us for a group walk to drop off completed ballots together at the Wave ballot drop box.
Stop by for twenty minutes or stay for the whole afternoon, whatever fits your family's rhythm. Bring the kids, enjoy the park, and build community.
No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

“Should I help my children now, or leave everything in my trust?”
It may be one of the most common questions we hear especially with Bay Area home values and long-held stock positions in the picture.
There isn’t one answer for every family. That’s why we’re hosting a Lunch &amp; Learn to walk through the considerations.
Family Wealth: Give Now or Leave for Later?
Marilyn Suey, Founder of The Diamond Group Wealth Advisors, and estate planning attorney Robert J. Silverman will cover common questions, including:
Is it better to give to my kids now or leave an inheritance?
We’ll compare lifetime gifting with transfers at death. That includes how annual gift exclusions and certain trusts may be used to support children and grandchildren, and the tax and family considerations that come with each approach.
Can I preserve an inheritance from lawsuits, creditors or a child’s divorce?
We’ll discuss how trusts that continue for a beneficiary’s lifetime, and marital agreements, may help safeguard assets.
What about stock or real estate I’ve owned for decades?
We’ll explain the “step-up” in basis and the choices people weigh for highly appreciated assets: selling, holding, gifting, donating, or using a charitable trust.
You’ll leave with a clearer picture of your options and better questions to bring to your own legal, tax and financial professionals.

P.S. Not sure which of these questions applies to your family? Come anyway. Most attendees find the conversation helps them figure out what to ask next.
You’re welcome to bring your spouse or up to two guests. Planning for the next generation often goes best as a family conversation.
