SF Cluster at the SF Jazz Concert

The SF Cluster Sales team took some of our clients out to an SF Jazz Concert on Friday June 10th.  The sold out concert was held at Davies Symphony Hall and was a New Orleans themed night, A Night in Treme.  

Clients included:

Ryuzo Hirano – Consulate of Japan
Riena Sarojo – Consulate of Indonesia
Michael Whatmore and his wife – BNI Meetings
Steven Suen and his wife – Biscuit and Blues

The evening was big hit with our clients and we attended an exclusive after party with the artists from the show.

Below are some great pictures from the after party!




And here are more details about the concert…
A Night in Treme
David Simon and Eric Overmyer’s acclaimed HBO series Treme (pronounced Tre-may) isn’t about the New Orleans music scene per se. But as a gritty, affectionate and ground level post-Katrina character study centered on the Crescent City neighborhood that gives the show its name, infectious New Orleans grooves tie the drama together and shine a welcome national spotlight on a place where music is inextricably woven into the fabric of every day life. “A Night In Treme” showcases several of the irreplaceable artists who have appeared on the series as themselves, including the powerhouse Rebirth Brass Band, an institution for nearly three decades. Rebirth will be joined by other New Orleans mainstays, such as vocalist and trumpeter Kermit Ruffins, clarinetist Dr. Michael White, Mardi Gras Indian chief and alto saxophone star Donald Harrison Jr. and trombonist Big Sam Williams. Wendell Pierce, who plays the smooth talking trombonist Antoine Batiste on Treme, provides narration on the neighborhood’s history and the struggle to rebuild houses and lives after Katrina. It all adds up to a vivid musical portrait of a city that has shaped American (and international) music for more than a century.
