A Tribute to Melanie Berzon Tickets

Meet A Tribute to Melanie Berzon, a performer page celebrating the influential Bay Area jazz radio professional who helped shape and promote jazz programming across Northern California. Known for her roles at KCSM 91.1 FM as program director and operations director, Berzon has been a steadfast advocate for women in jazz, supporting programming that highlights female composers, improvisers, and vocalists. While her public performances are less documented than her radio work, this page highlights her impact as a performer-centered tribute, including the 2019 public tribute at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, which brought together notable jazz acts like the Montclair Women’s Big Band, Tammy Hall Trio, Melanie DeMore, Barbara Dane, and The V-Note Ensemble. We’ve got you covered for credible, non-pushy information and reliable ways to experience related live jazz in the Bay Area.
