Critically lauded vocalist, songwriter and lyricist Rondi Charleston brings her All Star Band to Yoshi's San Francisco. Charleston is performing in support of her March release on Motéma Music, Signs of Life. The CD, some two months on the Jazz Week Radio Chart, has earned Charleston numerous excellent reviews and TV appearances on Chicago’s WLS-TV (ABC-7) Windy City Live and PBS WTTW’s Chicago Tonight.


JazzTimes writes, “The remarkable Signs of Life fully reveals that Charleston is a songwriter whose poetic, narrative and compositional skills are comparable to such moderns masters as Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon.” The New York Times calls her “utterly delightful,” and Signs of Life soared to #5 on NY Daily News’ Top Ten New Releases upon its release.

With “some of the most memorable new songs to come from a jazz singer since Abbey Lincoln” (Hot House), her “incisive storytelling” (Jazz Police) on Signs of Life features a bonus track, “The Cave Knows,” (listen here) crafted by Charleston with renowned keyboardist Fred Hersch and featured in the feature film No Place on Earth, winner of the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival Award and currently in wide release.


Joining Charleston at Yoshi's SF is an “A” list group of distinguished musicians - line up TBA.
