DEAR MUSIC LOVERS

Welcome to Season 5!

Thank you all—musicians, SFJAZZ

members, patrons, press—for giving

SFAZZ the opportunity to joyously

celebrate the milestone of our 5th Season

in the SFJAZZ Center.

This is a proud moment for us all—a time to reflect on what has been achieved, but more

importantly to look forward and build on what has been accomplished.

As we neared the opening of the Center in January 2013, I was often asked how it would

feel to see SFJAZZ’s dream of a dedicated building for jazz finally come to life: “You must

be very proud.” The reply was, “Yes it will be a great accomplishment for us, but I can give

you a better answer in 3 to 5 years.” The creation of the SFJAZZ Center was a risk – was

it possible to create a cultural institution, for jazz, here in San Francisco? It’s now time for

the answer, and it looks like the gamble has worked out and you, our audience, have made

it work: SFJAZZ membership has quadrupled since we broke ground—from 3,000 to

over 13,000 members; 2,000 concerts presented; 93% of all shows have sold out; 35,000

students have been reached through our education programs; and over 600,000 tickets

have been sold.

We all have built a community center that has been generously received by San

Franciscans and jazz fans, and we don’t intend to stand still. Our values of openness,

looking forward, presenting the highest levels of art, and community building are the

foundation for our growth. We will be announcing a number of new initiatives in the

months to come. Following are two examples: a partnership with the San Francisco

Conservatory of Music, who just announced a jazz studies program for the 2017–18

academic year with the SFJAZZ Collective as the core faculty; and we just became an

official “Curator” for Apple Music, providing our point of view on jazz.

We are proud to present to you Season 5! The schedule is full of “only-at-SFJAZZ”

experiences that we hope will inspire you. Thank you for your support. We are here

because of you, and we look forward to continuing to grow with you.

See you at the Center!

Randall Kline

SFJAZZ Founder & Executive Artistic Director

“ We wanted to create a community gathering place around jazz. A place where jazz can do what it’s always done—grow and change. Now there’s a permanent place in San Francisco where it can flourish.” —RANDALL KLINE

DEAR FRIENDSIt’s a little ironic perhaps that jazz is the

most musically improvisational art form,

and yet the SFJAZZ Center is here as its

most stable platform for jazz performance.

The doors opened on Martin Luther King Jr.

Day in 2013, and now amidst the heart of

Season 5 at the Center, we are presenting

you with music of many genres from around

the world week after week and night

after night. While the SFJAZZ staff and

volunteers work to make your experiences

wonderful and seamless, musicians

perform with confidence knowing that

SFJAZZ has established an inspiring,

flexible environment that will let their creativity reach its absolute potential and let great

jazz moments happen. Great moments that are both acoustically perfect for the art and

performed from a stage designed so that each of you has the best seat in the house.

It’s in that combined spirit of creativity and stability that we relaunched the Giant Steps

Program for you. When you join Giant Steps you’re adding to the foundation that makes

jazz so successful, fun and important at SFJAZZ. Please take a look at sfjazz.org/giantsteps

to find out how you can become a Giant Steps member, and we’ll see your name inscribed

in JAZZ on our great glass wall on the front of the Center. Nothing could say more than,

literally, putting your name on it. I am personally looking forward to joining you with my

support of this Giant Steps opportunity.

It might surprise you that there is anybody in the Bay Area that has not yet heard about what

happens at the SFJAZZ Center. That’s why, to launch the calendar year of Season 5, we’ve

created this huge and beautiful billboard a few hundred feet from the front doors for all to

see. When you’re heading toward Franklin and Fell you’ll probably see it too. Let us know

what you think!

Thank you for reminding your friends and family that jazz is here. We are always so glad to

have first-timers at the Center. Enjoy the performance tonight, and we look forward to seeing

you many nights to come.

Kindly in jazz,

R E S I D E N T A R T I S T I C D IRECTORS

The SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director program was established to give today’s most innovative and influential musicians the chance to curate exclusive programming at the SFJAZZ Center, often featuring unprecedented collaborations between world–renowned artists. Every two years, SFJAZZ selects a new group of forward–thinking musicians to participate in the program. Past SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Directors include Bill Frisell, Jason Moran, Miguel Zenón, Regina Carter, John Santos, Esperanza Spalding, Terence Blanchard, Zakir Hussain, and Eric Harland. Notable world premieres have included pianist Moran’s pairing of jazz and live skateboarding, guitarist Bill Frisell’s

adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved featuring actor Tim Robbins, drummer Harland’s Voyager band paired with live video gamers, and an extensively revised presentation of trumpeter Terence Blanchard’s fully–staged opera Champion: An Opera in Jazz.

CHRISTIAN McBRIDE SEP 22–25At just 43, four–time GRAMMY winning bassist Christian McBride is widely regarded as the standard-bearer for jazz bassists in the 21st century. Among the more than 300 albums he’s appeared on are sessions by many of the most illustrious figures in jazz, including Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, and Pat Metheny, while also collaborating with artists as diverse as Sting and Questlove of The Roots. McBride has been the linchpin of various all–star projects, such as the Five Peace Band with John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Kenny Garrett and Vinnie Colaiuta, as well as the 2015 GRAMMY–lauded Chick Corea Trio with drummer Brian Blade. He’s led a procession of diverse groups since the mid-90s, most recently his Christian McBride Big Band, whose 2011 release The Good Feeling won that year’s GRAMMY for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. He has also found time to oversee jazz programming at Disney Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, along with being the host of NPR’s Jazz Night in America. As an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, McBride brings a kaleidoscopic musical vision and a restless drive for fresh avenues of expression.

VIJAY IYER FEB 9–12The brilliant and adventurous pianist and composer Vijay Iyer is a musician who stretches the boundaries of jazz. He was the recipient of the MacArthur Foundation’s “genius grant” in 2013 and the “quadruple crown” in DownBeat’s 2012 Critics Poll in the categories of Jazz Artist of the Year, Group of the Year, Pianist of the Year and Album of the Year. Iyer has collaborated with the most creative figures in modern jazz, including Steve Coleman, Wadada Leo Smith, Oliver Lake, Ambrose Akinmusire, and John Zorn, among others, and is a member of the visionary collective Fieldwork. He has recorded 15 albums since his debut in 1995, including the acclaimed sessions Historicity (2009), Accelerando (2011), and Break Stuff (2014) featuring his telepathic trio of bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore. Iyer’s role as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director allows him to explore his creativity in various settings, curating evenings devoted to challenging new music and exciting collaborations.

12

“ It’s a great thrill and honor to be an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director. The number one tradition of the jazz community is to create—always to create new, fresh, wonderful music.”

— CHRISTIAN McBRIDE

MARY STALLINGS MAY 4–7A supremely soulful jazz singer, the San Francisco native has appeared alongside jazz greats including Cal Tjader, Dizzy Gillespie and the Count Basie Orchestra over her stellar career. With her supple sense of swing, blues–inflected phrasing, and gift for empathic interpretation, it’s easy to see why The New York Times declared her “perhaps the best jazz singer alive today.” Following tours with Gillespie, Basie and Billy Eckstine in the late 60s and early 70s, she effectively retired from music, but made a triumphant return in the 1990s. She has since made up for lost time, recording a dozen sessions for Concord, MAXJAZZ and High Note. Stallings has a long history with SFJAZZ, receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at our 2011 Gala and performing the opening song during the historic Opening Night concert in 2013. For her week as Resident Artistic Director, Stallings presents music from Feelin’ Good, a night devoted to Brazilian music, and collaborations in both an intimate duo setting and with the SFJAZZ High School All–Stars.

ROSANNE CASH MAY 18–21More than a country music icon, Rosanne Cash is America’s foremost musical woman of letters, who returns after her triumphant series of concerts premiering the songs from her latest Blue Note release, The River and The Thread. She has landed nearly a dozen #1 country hit singles while earning 13 GRAMMY nominations, culminating in three GRAMMY wins for The River & The Thread, which made “Best of Year” lists in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, and USA Today. Leading publications including The Oxford-American and New York Magazine have published her essays and fiction, and she authored a volume of short stories, Bodies of Water, as well as a fascinating memoir, Composed. For her week, Cash presents a series of concerts in collaboration with fellow stars Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris—a project that has only occurred once before while Cash was an Artist-in-Residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015.

13

“ SFJAZZ has this expansive vision for artists that really allows me to experiment, and to do some really fun things.”

—ROSANNE CASH

“ I’m really excited to come back to the Bay Area as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director. I’m going to bring a lot of my friends and colleagues, some fantastic musicians...musically it will cover quite a range.”

—VIJAY IYER

“ It truly is an honor to be a Resident Artistic Director for SFJAZZ, an institution that has done a great service for this art form. The most wonderful level of art is being able to share something very dear—my music. I am excited to be able to share my musical journey in such a wonderful place.”

—MARY STALLINGS

ZAKIR HUSSAIN—master of the tabla, pioneer of world music—is talking about connections, musical connections. In essence, they are conversations, spoken through notes and rhythms, he says, no different than sitting down at the lunch counter with friends to talk about one’s children.

by RICHARD SCHEININ

“LET THE MOMENT

DICTATE HOW THE CONVERSATION

TAKES SHAPE.

”

FAMILY CONNECTIONS:

& THE SFJAZZ GALA 2017 FIFTH SEASON CELEBRATION

He has learned this lesson so many times since moving from India to Marin County 45 years ago, jamming with the Grateful Dead, performing with Ali Akbar Khan, and then

striking up a connection, in the early-1980s, with a new organization called Jazz in the City, later to be known as SFJAZZ. That connection has birthed a world of musical conversation for Hussain, who remembers his 1990 duo encounter at Grace Cathedral with saxophonist Joe Henderson, who taught him “to create from a blank slate, to play the music as it reveals itself, letting it out, feeling its energy—something so fabulous.” That led him to pursue more duo concerts, again presented by SFJAZZ, first with saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and later with Charles Lloyd, who advised him to tune his tablas to “the key of the universe.” Now there was a connection. And through the years, there have been so many other encounters, with drummers Steve Smith and Eric Harland, with saxophonist Joshua Redman—on and on it goes, a web of relationships that runs deep.

22

SFJAZZ GALA 2017 JANUARY 18

“Now we are family,” says Hussain, who will receive the SFJAZZ Lifetime Achievement Award at the organization’s 2017 Gala. All kinds of family will be there to cheer for Hussain and join him in musical conversation, including saxophonists Redman and Joe Lovano, the Kronos Quartet, drummers Harland, Cindy Blackman Santana and John Santos, as well as the SFJAZZ Collective. Hussain hints that he will explore the duo setting once again—maybe with Redman, maybe with Lovano—but mostly promises the sound of surprise: “To let the moment dictate how the conversation takes shape.”

SPOTLIGHT SERIES JANUARY 19–22

Much of the cast, including Hussain, will stay around for the next four nights as the organization celebrates its fifth season in the SFJAZZ Center with a string of programs spotlighting four legendary artists who have called the Bay Area home: drummer Tony Williams, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and reed master John Handy. For each, there are more stories to tell, linking them to the region, to the organization, to one another—more connections, more strands in the web. “These are the people who helped get us here,” says Randall Kline, who founded and directs SFJAZZ. “They helped establish the vibe of what we were and would become.” If the chemistry is right and the four concerts ignite, the concert hall will be “infused with the spirit” of these four incomparable musicians.

TONY WILLIAMS JANUARY 19

Arguably jazz’s greatest prodigy, the drummer joined Miles Davis’s group at age 17 in 1963. He explored the avant-garde. He went electric. He lived for years in Pacifica and San Anselmo and sat on an early iteration of the SFJAZZ Board of Trustees.

The drum god went on to study composition at UC Berkeley, and, in 1990, SFJAZZ commissioned him to compose a piece for string quartet (Kronos), piano (Herbie Hancock) and percussion (Williams himself). It was performed at the Herbst Theatre, part of a concert that also featured Williams’ electric trio and acoustic quintet. Before the show, Kline chatted with Williams offstage and was momentarily perplexed when he heard the quintet doing its sound-check—with a drummer, a good one. “I thought, man, that sounds an awful lot like Tony,” he recalls. “I also thought, `Who would have the guts to fill Tony’s chair?’”

It was Cindy Blackman Santana, a protégé of Williams. Since his death in 1997, she has been on a mission to explain his genius to the world, recording his music and leading bands inspired by Williams’ electric Lifetime group, including at SFJAZZ. The mission continues at this show, of which she is musical director. Blackman Santana—who lives much of the year in Marin with her husband Carlos Santana—hopes to explore key phases of Williams’ career. “That whole ball of energy” that was Tony Williams, she says, was only one aspect of his musical personality. He was a chaser of beauty, a sound innovator, his formidable flow filled with “little subtleties, the in-between things that he’s doing. He had an incredible ear for picking out cymbals that sounded like a symphony when they were played together. People just don’t know.’”

23

FAMILY CONNECTIONS CONTINUED ON PAGE 52

Which leads her to tell this story: When Williams replaced drummer Jimmy Cobb in Davis’s group, he gave Cobb a cymbal as a gift. In the mid-‘80s, Cobb passed that cymbal on to Blackman Santana, who called Williams to ask if he approved. He did. She held the cymbal up to the phone and gave it a tap. “Oh yeahhhh!” he said, with a growl of pleasure, recognizing its sound after 20-plus years. “Dark and pretty.”

JOE HENDERSON JANUARY 20

Three great tenor saxophonists will help pay tribute to this late titan of the instrument, who called San Francisco home.

Joshua Redman, who grew up in Berkeley and understands Henderson’s impact, will direct this evening’s program. (Redman goes way back with SFJAZZ, to 1984, when he was a 15-year-old at Berkeley High School, performing with its jazz band.) David Sanchez, who has arranged and played Henderson’s compositions as a member of the SFJAZZ Collective, once described himself as “baptized” in Joe’s “beautiful, dark, liquefied sound.” Joe Lovano, who preceded Sanchez in the Collective, remembers the Sunday matinee at Boston’s Jazz Workshop in the early 1970s, when, at age 18, he sat in with Henderson: “What a thrill, to feel his beautiful energy, to hear his sound and inspired solos. It’s something that keeps me inspired to this day.”

Henderson performed many times for SFJAZZ, with his small groups and big band, with the Kronos Quartet and Bobby

Hutcherson. He always set the bar for other musicians: “It was the way he stretched out and explored his instrument, always touching on the inner music of whatever tune it was,” Lovano says.

“And as a late teen, that really set me on my own path of trying to tell my own story. Joe loved to play and he drew you in because of that, and he basically elevated every musical situation—always generous to so many young cats. You grow up listening to masters like that and learn what it actually takes to get yourself together on your horn. He was one of the baddest cats ever.”

BOBBY HUTCHERSON JANUARY 21

The vibraphonist’s death in August at age 75 was a blow to the jazz world (he was one of its greatest improvisers), to the Bay Area music scene (his playing embodied its freedom, its open-minded ethos) and to SFJAZZ (he was in many ways its heart).

“Every note was an adventure for Bobby,” says vibraphonist Stefon Harris, who succeeded Hutcherson in the SFJAZZ Collective in 2007 and will direct this tribute. “He was the most emotionally articulate musician to ever play the instrument. Sometimes he would make it sound as if he were weeping, at other times literally as if he were laughing. He found a way to express the depths of his experiences—to the point that there was no separation between the way he played and the way he lived, and what was created became a sort of absolute beauty.”

Hutcherson, who lived in Montara, 20 miles south of San Francisco, first performed for SFJAZZ in 1984. (He played a set of duets with pianist George Cables.) In 1998, he shared the stage at the Masonic Auditorium with Milt Jackson and Harris, then in his mid-20s, for a program titled “Good Vibes: The Heritage of Jazz Vibraphone.” Harris remembers feeling “emotionally overwhelmed” before the event. But the moment he arrived for rehearsal, the two elders gave him a “warm embrace that just put me at ease and let me know that I was welcome to be there and that if I worked hard and continued in my direction, that I would have the honor of carrying on this legacy.”

Harris also remembers his final meeting with Hutcherson, only a year ago at the SFJAZZ Center: “David Sanchez and I were standing backstage with Bobby, and there were certain harmonic concepts that he was working on that he was sharing. And there was so much joy there,” even though Hutcherson was seriously debilitated by emphysema. “There was so much energy, so much exploration—the idea that learning never stops. There are those

rare human beings whose genius unfolds throughout their entire lives, and that was Bobby Hutcherson.”

JOHN HANDY JANUARY 22

“Traditions in Transition” is a motto for SFJAZZ: the idea that the music is always in flux, absorbing influences and growing toward the next level. A member of the SFJAZZ Collective since 2004, alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon embraces that ideal. His own rapturous performances integrate New York modern jazz with Puerto Rican folk traditions and a classical sensibility. The process is one of staying “connected to a tradition, but stepping out into all these other areas that become vehicles for expression,” he says.

He is just the right musician to curate this night’s tribute to saxophonist John Handy, which will feature the master himself, now 83 years old.

For more than a half-century, Handy has absorbed influences and expanded to new levels; he has demonstrated that “fusion,” in the true sense of the word, can make for profound musical expression. After performing with Charles Mingus in the late 1950s, the saxophonist—who lives in Oakland and played in Jazz in the City’s inaugural concert, in 1983—entwined his jazz roots with Spanish flamenco and Indian raga, with funk, with classical strings. Explaining his affinity for Gypsy music, he says,

“I found it akin to African-American spirituals—the mournful cry that’s turned me on since I was a very young child.”

In the early ‘60s, while attending San Francisco State, Handy befriended a pair of Indian students through whom he met Ravi Shankar, who sat him down and explained Hindustani musical systems. One thing led to the next, and, within a few years, he was performing with Ali Akbar Khan, master of the sarod, who lived in Marin. At a rehearsal with Khan in 1971, he met a 19 year-old kid who played the tablas: Zakir Hussain, who would become a lifelong friend and musical collaborator.

Connections: it seems Handy is always open to them. “Because African-Americans, we pretty much live an improvised culture,” he says. “We have to be ready for things to be a little bit different each day, and so the music is a reflection of that. I pick up the saxophone and, with my first utterance, I’m looking for a new point of departure—the sound of surprise.” ■

You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors. Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help.

The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth CycleSM to find those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you.
