Our basic mission at Keystone Korner in San Francisco from 1972 to 1983 was to provide the best music in the world for the most affordable prices in the most loving environment. That is still our fundamental goal today at Keystone Korner Baltimore, with the added blessing of joining forces with Grandmaster Chef Robert Wiedmaier and his All Star Team to make absolutely sure that the outstanding food and libations will be as consistently inspiring and as reasonably-priced as the truly phenomenal music presented with in a relaxed and most welcoming setting.
The Eternal Jazz Messenger Art Blakey often said that "my heart belongs to Keystone." And that heart is still beating strong.
