LOCATION:Black Cat\, 400 Eddy St\, San Francisco\, CA 94109
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $20 \, $30 \, $40 \, $50\n\n(price includes $5.50 proc

 ar @ 6:00\, Doors @ 8:30\n\n  \n\nBlack Cat presents a rare convergence of
  two major voices in modern jazz\, each shaped by the towering legacy of J
 ohn Coltrane yet speaking in distinct musical languages of their own.\n\n 
    \n\nGrammy Award-winning saxophonist Wayne Escoffery brings a sound cri
 tics have called a "contemporary mix of Coltrane\, Shorter and Henderson i
 nfluences\,” powerful\, passionate\, and unmistakably his own. A two-tim
 e Downbeat Critics Poll winner\, Escoffery has spent decades at the center
  of the jazz world: a member of Tom Harrell's quintet for over a decade\, 
 a musical director of the Mingus Big Band\, and leader of his own acclaime
 d quartet. His 2024 release Alone\, featuring Gerald Clayton\, Ron Carter\
 , and Carl Allen\, earned 5 stars in the London Times and was hailed as on
 e of the year's finest jazz statements.\n\n    \n\nSharing the stage is Mi
 ami-based pianist Tal Cohen\, a Grammy-winning artist whose playing weaves
  folk melodies and classical influence into deeply personal\, modern jazz 
 harmony. Winner of the Barry Harris National Piano Competition and the Fre
 edman Fellowship\, Cohen has toured the globe alongside Terence Blanchard\
 , Joe Lovano\, and Greg Osby\, earning praise for the "passion\, focus and
  creativity" of his playing.\n\n    \n\nTogether\, Escoffery and Cohen tra
 ce two divergent paths from a shared source\, a saxophonist whose sound ch
 annels Coltrane's fire\, and a pianist whose harmonic palette reflects Col
 trane's restless search for new musical languages. \n\n  \n\nBand Lineup:\
