His appearance at Yoshi’s features Jimmy Haslip on bass and Virgil Donati on drums. Sept. 4: Angie Stone 8&10PM $49 If Angie Stone had her way, she’d sit down next to every single one of her fans and pour out her heart – and soul – to them. She’d empower them with hard-earned wisdom; lessons learned from her very own heartache and happiness, mistakes and triumphs that led her to three GRAMMY Award nominations, two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, and four Top 10 R&B albums (with her The Art of Love & War going all the way to number one). And with her new album, Rich Girl¸ the neo-soul songwriter has done just that, delivering a powerfully intimate collection of songs that wrap themselves around you like a warm embrace full of love and compassion, strength and wit.

Sept. 7-8: Salif Keita Sun 7PM $35, 9PM $29; Mon 8PM $33 African music legend Salif Keita has extended musical frontiers and carved out a distinctive musical voice, in which rock, funk and jazz combine with the deepest West African griot traditions. He has received musical as well as political and humanitarian acknowledgements, and, throughout his life, has tried to transmit a message of peace through his stunning music, which has dictated the standards of contemporary Mandingo creation. For this tour, Keita goes back to his roots and is playing acoustic music. Sept. 17: The Last Southern Gentlemen Tour feat. Ellis Marsalis & Delfeayo Marsalis 8PM $33 adv, $39 day of show; 10PM $24 adv, $30 day of show The Last Southern Gentlemen is a landmark recording for Delfeayo Marsalis - for the first time, a pairing of father Ellis Marsalis, Jr. with Delfeayo on a collaborative album.

A gifted songwriter and brilliantly unique vocalist, Macy first entered the international musical arena with her hit single ‘I Try’ and soon became an instant global superstar.With a colorful career that includes multiple Grammy, Billboard, MTV and BRIT Awards, and record sales of over 25 million worldwide, the integrity and innovation of Macy Gray’s artistry has allowed her to forge her own path to success and win fans and critics from all around the world. Her music transcends genres, from experimental soul and alternative rock, to retro-disco and hip-hop. Sept.. 21: Lisa Fischer 7PM $31; 9PM $24 Lisa Fischer is a singer who really gets around. Her life is an endless round of planes, trains, and automobiles, rehearsals and fittings. On tour with the Rolling Stones, Sting, Chris Botti or Nine Inch Nails, her name may not be on the marquee, but she doesn't care. She's busy loving every minute of it. It's easy to see why she works all the time: her astonishing range, her spot-on intonation, her mastery of the stage, the way her tone wraps itself around your heart and won't let go, the infectious quality of her time feel: these things keep her on top of the list. But it's the sweetness of her smile, her visible pleasure in watching her bandmates do their stuff, her glamorous-girl-next-door quality that make fans all over the world think she's their own secret discovery. She’s featured in the film “Twenty Feet from Stardon.”
