Rabiah Kabir Live at Jax Vineyards San Francisco
In celebration of Women's History Month, JAX VINEYARDS is proud to present the incomparable RABIAH KABIR live in concert at our San Francisco tasting room and event space on Friday, March 27th, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Admission is free with an RSVP. To reserve seats, please call (415) 446-9505 or https://www.exploretock.com/jaxvineyardssf. Wine, beer, and mocktails will be available for purchase from the venue, and beloved Peruvian pop-up CAMUCHA'S KITCHEN will be onsite serving their celebrated dishes from 4pm-9pm.
RABIAH KABIR is a Jazz flute player who uses her instrument, skill in storytelling and unique style to bend the expectations of what “Jazz” music really is. Born and raised in the East Bay, Rabiah draws from her lived experience as a mixed Black woman to create music that is meditative, contemplative and conceptual.
For her, musical memory begins in the kitchen, with her dad playing the sounds of Charles Mingus, Philip Glass, Erik B. & Rakim, Dead Can Dance, Toots and the Maytals, Compay Segundo and Natacha Atlas (to name a few), as he cooked dinner in their Berkeley home. As she dived into the Bay Area Jazz scene, she noticed how few women surrounded her, a problem that has plagued Jazz since its inception at the turn of the 20th century.
Her debut album, “Jezebel: Rewritten” and related Honors Thesis paper from Stanford University, “The Jezebel Flute”, explores themes of Black womanhood and feminism, a core part of Jazz history often overlooked. She hopes the project carves a new place for scholarship surrounding flute players, power and Black feminist artistic expression. Her thesis, winner of the 2025 Stanford University George Fredrickson Award, is published on Stanford’s Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity department page. The album, “Jezebel: Rewritten” is now available for streaming.
This event is sponsored in part by JAZZ IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. A 501c3 nonprofit, Jazz in the Neighborhood works to improve the economics of jazz performance in the Bay Area by presenting affordable concerts, paying musicians a guaranteed wage, and supporting the work of established and aspiring jazz artists.
