Bill O’Connell has been called “nothing short of a national treasure,” “a giant of modern jazz,” and “a member of Latin jazz royalty.” Celebrated for his ability to move effortlessly across a broad spectrum of musical styles, O’Connell brings together modern jazz, Latin traditions, and Afro-diasporic influences with remarkable depth and fluidity.


Lauded by DownBeat Magazine as “an inspired hybridizer of modernist jazz and Afrodiasporic idioms as an improviser and composer,” O’Connell has released 18 recordings as a bandleader. The GRAMMY-nominated pianist is also a Steinway Artist and a four-time recipient of SESAC’s Jazz Writer of the Year award.


Joining him is Oakland native Lincoln Goines, an acclaimed bassist, composer, author, and educator who has been a mainstay of New York City’s jazz, Latin, and studio scenes for more than four decades. Known for his versatility, fluid style, and deep sense of groove, Goines has performed and recorded with an extraordinary range of artists, including Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Gato Barbieri, Paquito D’Rivera, Michel Camilo, Michael Brecker, Eliane Elias, Dave Grusin, and Carly Simon.


Together, the Bill O’Connell Trio featuring Lincoln Goines brings an evening of sophisticated improvisation, vibrant rhythms, and deeply rooted New York Latin jazz to the Bay Area.



Media Quotes
Everything you could look for in a pianist- taste, clarity of touch, technique, wit, erudition, harmonic depth, lyricism, rhythmic authority- is here for the taking.

— Dan Bilawsky, All about  Jazz

“There is no doubt this jazz cat (Bill O’Connell) has game; more like fire-breathing musical passion tempered with immense intellectual dominance of Jazz and Latin music that may be good enough to rival some of the great Latin Jazz pianists of the last quarter century: Chucho Valdes, George Dalto, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and others. ”

— Bobby Ramirez , Latinjazzclub

“This is a pianist with immense “player power” as it were. The range of his artistic spectrum seems limitless, and I suggest my readers will be moved by this colossus of musical dignity and improvisational authority.”

— George Carroll, ejazznews
