MUST HEAR There is likely no finer location in San Diego to take in an evening of piano-led jazz than Eddie V’s. Boasting a nightly schedule of some of San Diego’s top players, Eddie V’s will be open for Mother’s Day (May 12) with a special morning set from John Cain, running 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., but also be sure to check out the Richard James Trio performing every Thursday at 5 p.m. Blessed with a soulful voice and virtuoso chops, James is a lot of fun to watch and listen to, with a repertoire that runs from standards to pop tunes, from Sinatra to the Beatles. This intimate venue is the perfect location for a relaxing night out and James provides the perfect soundtrack to match.
