Saxophonist Craig Handy heading to Keys Jazz Bistro in North Beach for a strong of concerts.
Saxophonist Craig Handy will be holding forth at North Beach’s new music club Keys Jazz Bistro Dec. 21-24.With the weather growing increasingly bitter as the fall of 1986 slouched into winter, tenor saxophonist Craig Handy decided to take a break from busking on the streets of Manhattan, hightailing it back to Oakland for warmth and familial comfort.
“Within a week I got three gigs and it spiraled from there,” he said, still sounding awed at his sudden ascendance. “That was the scene. It was jazz heaven and I thought that would never end.” Despite his prodigious credits, Handy has attracted less attention than he might have because he hasn’t recorded much under his own name. Looking back at the course of his career, he regrets not taking matters into his own hands earlier.
“Part of the reason I wasn’t recording and writing so much was there was so much great material to learn and master from the generations before,” he said. “It’s a bit of a cop out when I think about it now, but back then it seemed like there was so much great stuff to lean into.”
