# Event Details - **Event Name**: Vicki Burns Quintet - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Acclaimed NY vocalist performs the music of Duke Ellington and Billy StrayhornAbout this EventJazz 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.She has produced three CDs as a leader: Siren Song (2005), Live at Anna’s Jazz Island (2008), and her 2022 release Lotus Blossom Days. Jazz writer Marc Myers said, "Vicki's voice on Lotus Blossom Days is warm and round, sophisticated and optimistic with shades of blue. She also takes terrific risks that pay off.”As a performer, Vicki Burns has been delighting audiences for years with her impeccable taste and glorious tone. She has performed at some of the top jazz clubs and festivals around the country, opened for Billy Taylor and Max Roach in the “Bright Moments” Concert series in Amherst, MA., and she was featured on “Music America,” a syndicated WGBH public radio broadcast. She currently performs regularly in NYC at Birdland, Iridium Jazz Club, Jazz at Kitano, The Plaza Hotel, Zinc Bar and Mezzrow. Burns has found success because she infuses each song with heartfelt expression, digging into the lyrics and melody to reveal their richness. It is a formula that has garnered her many fans and the respect of her peers, which is why Max Roach once described Burns’ singing as “a gold mine.”“Brilliant vocals by Vicki… she can cast a love spell and she is, after all, quite the siren herself. An amazing range and you can hear the joy, the melancholy, the rapture, the devastation and all are equally convincing. Perhaps that is the final word on such a great talent as Vicki Burns, she is convincing.” The Jazz Owl by Travis Rogers, Jr.“Like a master chef, Burns figures out what she needs to add to make the music delectable to the ear without overdoing it with unnecessary additives.” – All About JazzFeaturing John Di Martino-piano, Sam Bevan-Bass, Tim Bulkley-Drums, and Special guest Noel Jewkes saxophone - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/vicki-burns-quintet/100001991288227693 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, concerts, performances, food-drinks, art, literary-art, jazz - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-08-15T01:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: The Sound Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 30.65, max: 30.65, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Sound Room - **lat**: 37.8190855 - **long**: -122.2615116 - **full address**: The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Vicki Burns Quintet - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/bae3d10d4ddafeb398ebb24a49f1925f9db72ea24924fd4c2aa631e13a157676-rimg-w225-h225-dc030303-gmir.jpg?v=1781062167 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Vicki Burns Quintet being held? - **A:** Vicki Burns Quintet takes place on Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Vicki Burns Quintet? - **A:** Vicki Burns Quintet is organized by Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
