SFJAZZ Collective

Some of jazz’s greatest improvisers and composers come together in the SFJAZZ Collective, a renowned octet that celebrates the music of the modern jazz masters and creates new music moving the jazz tradition forward. The award- winning group, which DownBeat magazine says “boasts as much or more collective talent, firepower, and critical acclaim than any other jazz ensemble going,” plays captivating tunes by the late tenor sax giant Joe Henderson and swinging new compositions of its own. 

Pre-performance Discussion at 6:30 pm: Loren Schoenberg, Artistic Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.
