Come listen to an evening of Jazz in the Garden’s magical Redwood Grove Amphitheater performed by the acclaimed BabShad Jazz trio, featuring Barbara Hadenfield on vocals, Bob Calo, on guitar and Dean Muench, bass. $15, $12 members

Vocalist Barbara Hadenfeldt has interpreted international jazz standards on both coasts and in Europe and Asia.  Described as “a warm, full-range vocalist with punch and imagination,” Barbara uses her theater and rock ‘n roll experience to put a kick in her jazz.  She retired from UC Berkeley two years ago and just returned from singing engagements in Tokyo. 

Guitarist Bob Calo left a career in network news production to teach journalism at UC Berkeley and pursue his passion for jazz guitar.  A lyrical, expressive guitarist, Bob plays with the Marin Jazztet and other local groups.   

Dean Muench has been into jazz since high school, and after a career in high tech returned to playing jazz full-time.  In addition to straight-ahead jazz gigs around the Bay Area, he plays Brazilian and Latin jazz with drummer Phil Thompson’s “The Rio Thing.”  He currently works and performs at Berkeley’s jazzschool.
