On the first Thursday of January, viewers from as far away as Brazil, Norway and the Netherlands streamed a live jazz concert from Uptown Oakland. Swedish vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Gunhild Carling, a current South Bay resident, was leading her sextet on the Piedmont Piano Co. bandstand as audience members online commented in the chat box.
Toward the end of an energetic performance, Carling reminded the virtual audience, “If you like this music, don’t forget to tip the band. And we appreciate gifts, love letters … with lipstick traces,” she joked, referencing the jazz standard “These Foolish Things.”
