The Golden Gate

The Golden Gate Quartet is the most successful of all of the Africa-American gospel music groups singing in the jubilee quartet style and combining the clever arrangements associated with barbershop quartets with rhythms borrowed from the blues and jazz like scat singing. From 1934 to today, from the churches of Virginia to the most prestigious international stages, the story of The Golden Gate Quartet is that of more than 70 years of golden age spiritual. An exceptionally long life due to the permanence of a style where individualisms have always given way to the importance of the quartet.

This 2013 completely revised third edition of Golden Gate Trailblazer is the only outdoor adventure guide that details all the parks and wild lands north and south of the Golden Gate—in San Francisco and Marin. With more than 250 color and well as black-and-white photographs and concisely written histories and cultural tidbits, Trailblazer gives travelers a unique look at both parklands and towns alike.
