Drummer Mark Guiliana showcases two sides of his creative mind with performances from two bands on two continents. His acoustic Jazz Quartet delivers a lightning rod set at Amsterdam’s Bimhuis, followed by an electric set from Beat Music, recorded live at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. It’s a genre-blurring journey through swing, rock, and modern electronic sounds.

Jazz singer Vicki Burns is the complete package. With her three-octave range, sure sense of rhythm, and perfect intonation, she can scat convincingly, swing like a horn, and write hip songs worthy of attention from other vocalists. Jesse “Chuy Varela welcomes Vickie Burns to Jazz In The Afternoon to talk about her career and upcoming performances at The Sound Room (Oakland) August 14, The Meyhouse (Palo Alto) August 15, and Mr. Tipples (San Francisco) August 16.
