Hello Everyone! As some of you already know, I am leaving the Bay Area on December 24th , at least for a while. I am headed "back East" (so called, it seems because that is where many of us or our families are from!)to spend sometime with family and friends and hopefully have a few new musical adventures as well. I have been so rich in friends and in music in the last few years and I want to thank each of you for being such a special part of my life. There are a few gigs this month where you can come and say goodbye and so I truly hope to see many of you before I go! Also, if any of you have friends or contacts in NYC, please feel free to put us in contact! I am hoping to do some teaching and singing there when I am town in February. ******************************************************************************* Vicki Burns Quartet "Live At Anna's Jazz Island" has been getting some great airplay, both here in the Bay at KCSM and also lately in Pennsylvania at the NPR affiliate WQLN, with special thanks to Rob Hoff, the evening jazz host who says that the recording is a hit with his listeners. ****************************************************************************** I have a wonderful interview on jazzreview.com by Donna Kimura. Please check it out and watch for a CD review coming soon! http://www.jazzreview.com/article/review-6607.html ******************************************************************************* "Vicki Burns Quartet Live at Anna's Jazz Island" is now available on itunes, emusic and Rhapsody as well as the reapandsow store.

The Al Molina Project featuring: Vicki Burns Tuesday December 16th 7-10:00pm 7 Mile House 2800 Bayshore Blvd., Brisbane, California 94005, Brisbane, California 94005 Cost: no cover "Vicki Burns will be scatting with the Al Molina Quartet. She brings a depth of feeling for ballads and a height of joy for fast tunes. It should be interesting to hear her in a new musical environment. This is a first." Tuesday night Jazz at the 7 Mile is becoming a swingin’ hang for longtime jazz fans. I am honored that Al has asked me to sing with his outstanding group on this date. His trumpet is legendary in the San Francisco scene! *************************************************************************** Jordan's at the Claremont Hotel! I will be returning with my trio of excellent musicians on Sunday, December 14th! There will also be a variety of fantastic guest artists as this will be my final gig in the East Bay for now...

Please join me on December 21st, Sunday from 6-8:00pm as I come full circle for my time in the San Francisco Bay area with the fab John Nichols on guitar. John is one of my oldest and dearest friends in the Bay and he and I performed together at my first featured gig in San Jose at Garden City with Smith Dobson the Elder back in 1990. This is my last scheduled gig in the City and I would so love to see some friends here as I say farewell. http://www.caferoyale-sf.com/ Thank you one and all for your continued support and may the Holiday Season bring warmth to your heart and joy to your lives!
