An Evening of Jazz & Bossa Nova brings together two styles that were always meant to share the same room. Cool swing, gentle rhythms, and melodic lines inspired by both American jazz and Brazilian song create a sound that’s relaxed, elegant, and quietly infectious. It’s a night designed for listeners who appreciate subtlety, groove, and music that unfolds naturally over the course of the evening.

The evening is led by bassist Caroline Chung, whose melodic approach and deep sense of pocket shape the direction of the music from the ground up. Anchoring the trio with warmth and intention, Caroline creates space for each song to breathe and evolve. She is joined by Joe Roark on piano and Marty Honda on violin, weaving jazz phrasing and bossa-inspired rhythms into a cohesive, inviting sound that feels both familiar and fresh.

Set high above the city, The GrandView in San Jose offers an ideal backdrop for this blend of styles — refined dining, attentive service, and an atmosphere that encourages guests to settle in and enjoy the flow of the night.

Díaz on piano, whose lyrical phrasing and international sensibility add color, movement, and quiet sophistication, and Mike Hallesy on bass, whose relaxed, melodic foundation keeps the music grounded and gently flowing.

After many years, Vintage Noise is delighted to return to The Club at Castlewood for its annual Crab Feed — an evening that celebrates tradition, great food, and the kind of gathering this historic property was built for.

Castlewood’s story runs deep. From the days of the Hacienda del Pozo de Verona — designed by Julia Morgan as Phoebe Hearst’s grand “house of hospitality” — to the lively Hearst Ranch years that filled the grounds with music, laughter, and radio broadcasts, this has always been a place where people come together. Hosting large, joyful gatherings is part of the building’s DNA.

That spirit carries naturally into a Crab Feed. Long tables, lively conversation, shared platters, and a room that feels alive. Vintage Noise provides the soundtrack for the evening with a full quartet featuring Michael Carter on vocals, Franz J. Díaz on piano, Mike Hallesy on bass, and Ed Johnson on guitar. Vintage Noise leans into a fuller, celebratory sound — smooth swing, subtle Latin influence, and just enough energy to match the festive atmosphere.
