I don’t care if Monday’s blue. Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too… I don’t quite recall the remainder of lyrics but hey if it’s Wednesday night you might as well debunk your Wednesday shades and dance away the hump day slump. Here’s a tip:
Amnesia Bar is located on the stylish Valencia Street in Mission District; and it is one of those tiny box-sized bars where nightly debauchery of music and excessive drinking keep pumping the lives of San Francisco. Drop it like it’s hot. Go change to your comfortable kicks and enjoy the exotic sound of Gypsy Jazz performed by local’s staple Gaucho band.
Whether it be a special occasion (example: have some lovely guest from England to party with) or just a casual going nowhere Wednesday night, Amnesia is waiting for you to swing by for a decent time to be spent.
Once and the only other time I came here was to see this English singer-songwriter named Jay who goes by the moniker Beans on Toast (check him out on tour with the mighty Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls this fall), the bar was pretty empty considering it was on the earlier side of Saturday night; yet the evening left me with some unforgettable good feeling knowing this kind of bar exists. This kind of bar — meaning the type of hole in a wall bar that is way too small to invite any touring bands in mid-range popularity and you are squished at the bar counter which makes it almost uncomfortable not to start a conversation with strangers next to you — sounds pretty awful right? I F–KING LOVE IT! Fact of matter is, this is the kind of bar that any city community needs in this rather disconnected world.
So the last time I was here, I ran into Frank Turner fans who were also there to catch Jay hit the stage (who is a long time compadre of Frank) on his West Coast tour. To me, meeting Frank Turner fans or whoever knows anything about the band Million Dead is immediate flicker of friendship, thus the evening kicked off right with great conversation and positive vibe.
In all honesty, I had no clue what the hell Gypsy Jazz was until I saw Gaucho on the stage. It is something you just have to experience in person to understand why such type of music is played inside a tiny saloon or street corner of Eastern Europe somewhere and being absolutely loved by people. Accordions, double bass, two guitars, occasional trumpet, and drums… liberating and improvisational performance of music on the tiny stage of Amnesia has transported our existence to somewhere outside of tech infested San Francisco city.

サンフランシスコのミッション地区には昔ながらのジプシー・ストリート・ミュージックを演奏し続けるバンドがいます。
Amnesia Barの小さなステージでアコーディオンにベース、時にはトランペットなんかも割り込んでくる異国風土をふんだんに感じさせるGypsy Jazzと呼ばれるこの音楽を演奏するGauchoはいわゆるAmnesia Barの住み込みアーティストで、毎週水曜日にはここで演奏しています。
こういった音楽のことはまるで知りませんでしたが、先日ロンドンから来ていた友達がヨーロッパの路傍音楽文化にかなり詳しく、サンフランシスコでも聴ける場所があるということで知ったのが今回のイベントです。真紅の照明に浮かび上がったバーのステージでは五人の音楽家たちが肩を寄せ合い即興のジャズを演奏し、観客たちはその怪しい音調に酩酊しながら体を動かしていました。
Amnesia Barには前にJay (Beans on Toast)というイギリスのフォークシンガーソングライターのライブを観に来たことがありましたが、その時は時間帯も早かったためか、場所も空いていて、他の音楽ファンたちともつながりやすい雰囲気が好印象を残しました。小さい飲み屋だからこそできる気軽なジャズの演奏や社会人が仕事帰りに立ち寄れるちょっとした遊び場所といった古酒場の形態は流行とは逆行しているものの、一風変わった魅力があります。ロンドンの郊外にもこういうパブがあったので懐かしくなりました。Haight StreetにあるClub Deluxe（ジャズクラブ）とPolk StreetにあるAmelie（ボサ・ノヴァ/ワインバー）と並んで今後もまたお世話になるであろうおすすめの一店です。
