A pianist and composer best known for his work with Joshua Redman, Paul Cornish sets down in Joe Henderson Lab with his finely minted trio and music from his newest Blue Note release You’re Exaggerating! Hailing from the Houston hotbed of jazz talent, and shaped by the rich musical culture of Los Angeles, Paul Cornish has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling young pianists in contemporary jazz. Equally grounded in gospel, classical music, hip-hop, and modern improvisation, Cornish developed a distinctive voice that balances technical sophistication with emotional openness. After studying at the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance at UCLA and winning the American Jazz Piano Competition in 2018, he went on to perform with major artists including Joshua Redman, Terrace Martin, and Snoh Aalegra, establishing himself as both an imaginative accompanist and a daring bandleader. Cornish’s artistry has drawn widespread acclaim for its lyricism, rhythmic elasticity, and fearless harmonic language. His signing to Blue Note Records marked a significant milestone, placing him within one of jazz’s most storied legacies while signaling the arrival of a major new creative force. With You’re Exaggerating! , Cornish and his trio deliver a vibrant, deeply personal statement—music that moves fluidly between groove, abstraction, and cinematic beauty, revealing an artist pushing modern jazz toward exhilarating new horizons.

more
Over the last decade in jazz’s evolution, no pianist has had the impact of South African keyboard great Nduduzo Makhathini . He brings his working trio and music from his newest Blue Note session, The Myth We Choose , to this SFJAZZ debut. Born in the lush province of KwaZulu-Natal and raised within the spiritual traditions of Zulu culture, Nduduzo Makhathini has become one of the most visionary figures in contemporary jazz. His music fuses the expansive language of American jazz with African spirituality, ritual, and collective memory, creating performances that feel equally like concerts and ceremonies. Deeply influenced by John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, and South African legends Bheki Mseleku and Abdullah Ibrahim, Makhathini has developed a profoundly personal sound marked by thunderous improvisation, lyrical sensitivity, and emotional depth. A prolific recording artist, educator, and scholar, Makhathini became the first South African artist signed to Blue Note Records in decades, earning international acclaim for albums including Modes of Communication , In the Spirit of Ntu , and uNomkhubulwane . His work has established him as a global ambassador for modern African jazz and one of the music’s most spiritually resonant voices. With The Myth We Choose , Makhathini continues his fearless exploration of identity, ancestry, and liberation, crafting music of breathtaking power, intimacy, and transcendence.

more
Bassist and composer Christian McBride ’s most recent project is a quintet showcasing several of the most exciting young players on the scene. Returning to the Miner Auditorium stage for two nights, the cast features tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover , who has toured with Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, performed with veteran masters such as drummer Al Foster, vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, and bassist Reggie Workman, and recorded with pianist Aaron Diehl’s GRAMMY-nominated 2023 Mary Lou Williams project Zodiac Suite. Ely Perlman is an exciting young guitarist who has collaborated with Terreon Gully and Braxton Cook, and Chicago pianist Mike King has been touring with Dee Dee Bridgewater, and trumpeters Marquis Hill, Theo Croker, and Marcus Printup. Powering the band is Oakland native Savannah Harris , a remarkably poised young drummer who has made a major impact with the likes of vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, Kenny Barron, and Immanuel Wilkins. About Christian McBride More than a bass superstar, Christian McBride has become a commanding force in American culture. His responsibilities are legion, from producer and radio host to his recent post as artistic director of the historic Newport Jazz Festival. And that’s to say nothing of his era-defining work as an eleven-time GRAMMY Award-winning bandleader and recording artist who’s collaborated with everyone from McCoy Tyner, Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny and Chick Corea to Sting, Paul McCartney, Kathleen Battle, The Roots and James Brown.

more
An artist whose work stands firmly inside the tradition, Los Angeles-based pianist and composer Brian Simpson gained fame for his decade-long tenure with the legendary George Duke and his 12 releases as a leader that have regularly topped smooth jazz charts since his 1995 debut Closer Still . For this special matinee, co-sponsored by the Smooth Jazz Cruise, Simpson and his finely wrought band will be joined by saxophonist and singer Grace Kelly . The Illinois-born Simpson was born into a musical family and cites the virtuosity of Oscar Peterson as one of his early guiding influences. Moving west after college, Simpson worked with guitarist Norman Brown and saxophonist Everette Harp before touring the world with Janet Jackson and getting the call from the iconic George Duke in 1990. He worked for a decade as music director with smooth jazz stalwart Dave Koz and has released an impressive series of albums including his latest, 2025’s Midnight Groove , featuring appearances by saxophonist Isaiah Collier and trumpeter Keyon Harrold. Called “the future of jazz” by NPR , award-winning saxophonist and vocalist Grace Kelly was recognized in nine consecutive DownBeat Critics Polls having won two “Rising Star” for alto and baritone saxophone. and has released 15 albums including 2024’s Grace Kelly with Strings: At The Movies .

Saxophone great and NEA Jazz Master Branford Marsalis and his superlative quartet are joined by fellow NEA Jazz Master and jazz’s greatest vocalist, Dianne Reeves , for a week devoted to the immortal music of John Coltrane, in honor of the centennial of his birth. Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz master, three-time Grammy Award winner, and Tony and EMMY Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After more than three decades of existence with minimal personnel changes, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. The Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves will release a tribute album which revisits Coltrane’s seminal 1963 collaboration with Johnny Hartman. Originally recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in March of 1963, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman was a sublime showcase for Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones, who gave remarkable depth and sensitivity to a selection of standards including Irving Berlin’s “They Say It’s Wonderful,” Guy Wood’s “My One and Only Love,” and the definitive version of Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life.” Bringing the songs to life was the distinctive, evocative baritone of crooner Johnny Hartman, who was the only vocalist Coltrane ever collaborated with. Interpreting the songs with her own singular gifts, Reeves is a five-time GRAMMY winner who is accurately called “The most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday” ( NY Times ). She is an artist who embodies the music’s enduring values of elegance, class, and improvisational poise, with an innate feel for swing.

more
2011 NEA Jazz Master Branford Marsalis represents “the highest echelon of jazz tenor saxophonists” ( Los Angeles Times ). For this exclusive matinee concert co-sponsored by The Jazz Cruise, the New Orleans-born composer and bandleader returns with his superlative quartet featuring pianist Joey Calderazzo , bassist Eric Revis , and drummer Justin Faulkner to perform a hard-driving mix of standards and his own superlative compositions. As the eldest musical sibling in jazz’s most famous contemporary clan, Marsalis parlayed his formative experiences in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and his brother Wynton’s band into simultaneous careers as a performer, educator, composer, label owner, and bandleader with over 30 albums to his name. A three-time GRAMMY winner and 18-time nominee, Marsalis’ insatiable desire to expand horizons has found him performing with the New York Philharmonic, embracing hip hop influences with his Buckshot LaFonque project, leading the house band on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , working in the pop realm with Sting and Bruce Hornsby, and composing the score to the Oscar-winning 2020 film Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom . He recorded his acclaimed 2013 live solo recital, In My Solitude , at Grace Cathedral as part of the 30th San Francisco Jazz Festival, and his latest album and Blue Note debut, 2025’s Belonging , is a reinterpretation of piano great Keith Jarrett’s landmark 1974 ECM quartet release of the same name.

Formed in 1988, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra has been the standard bearer of the large group format for over 35 years. The 14-piece assemblage of virtuosos has contemporized the notion of a "big band” by simultaneously honoring the rich heritage of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong while debuting a stunning variety of commissions from jazz’s greatest names including Joe Henderson, Christian McBride, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Lovano, and Wynton Marsalis. Assembled as an outgrowth of the Lincoln Center’s Classical Jazz series, the orchestra was originally directed by composer, arranger, and Duke Ellington scholar David Berger before Wynton Marsalis became Artistic Director in 1991, issuing their debut release Portraits by Ellington the following year. Since then, the orchestra has constantly toured the world as cultural ambassadors for the music and released no less than 45 albums including Wynton Marsalis’s 1997 jazz oratorio Blood on the Fields , winning the first Pulitzer Prize for Music ever awarded to a jazz ensemble. Featuring a stellar lineup including saxophonist Sherman Irby , trumpeters Ryan Kisor and Marcus Printup, and former SFJAZZ Collective drummer Obed Calvaire , the band performs a selection of timeless compositions highlighting the power of swing. Please note that Wynton Marsalis will not be performing at this concert.

A 2011 NEA Jazz Master and arguably the most famous jazz musician alive, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis is an iconic figure in the evolution of the art form and a tireless advocate for jazz as America’s classical music. On this bittersweet occasion, he returns for his final Bay Area appearances with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra before he steps down after the 2026-27 Season. From his New Orleans beginnings and fiery debut with legendary drummer Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers to his string of acclaimed albums, Marsalis has amassed an unrivaled number of awards and accolades, including nine GRAMMYs and the Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first ever awarded to a jazz artist. Since 1988, he led the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a 15-piece assemblage of virtuosos which has contemporized the notion of a "big band," simultaneously honoring the rich heritage of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong while debuting a stunning variety of commissions from illustrious names including Joe Henderson, Christian McBride, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Lovano and of course, Wynton himself. With these farewell performances, the 2022 SFJAZZ Gala honoree turns this page in his artistic evolution in grand style, appearing one last time on the Miner stage with the greatest large jazz ensemble on earth. Don’t miss it!

more
Pianist and composer Jahari Stampley has emerged as one of the most electrifying young artists in modern jazz, blending breathtaking virtuosity with deep emotional expression and fearless stylistic range. Raised in Chicago in a profoundly musical family, Stampley developed his artistry through gospel, jazz, classical music, and Black creative traditions, building a voice that feels both rooted and radically contemporary. His international breakthrough came after winning the prestigious Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition, where his dazzling technique, originality, and compositional brilliance announced the arrival of a major new talent. Beyond his acclaim as a pianist, Stampley has become known for adventurous collaborations spanning jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and experimental music, working with Stanley Clarke, Derrick Hodge, Keyon Harrold, and others. He’s released a pair of albums including 2025’s What A Time . With the Family Soul Trio, featuring his mother, GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist D-Erania Stampley , and drummer Miguel Russell , Jahari brings his music into an intimate and deeply personal space. The ensemble channels family legacy, spiritual connection, and rhythmic vitality into performances that move fluidly between jazz, soul, gospel, and improvisation. Together, they create music that feels celebratory, searching, and profoundly human, highlighting the communal spirit at the heart of Black American music.

Among the great electric bassists in the history of the instrument, Marcus Miller is a jazz renaissance man. He was instrumental to Miles Davis’s resurgence in the 1980s and helps us celebrate Miles’s centennial with music from Davis’s landmark 1982 live double album We Want Miles , along with classic Miles compositions spanning from the 1950s right up to his final era of Tutu in 1986 and Amandla in 1989 both of which Marcus Miller composed and produced. He will be joined by other members of Miles Davis’s 1980s comeback band guitarist Mike Stern , saxophonist Bill Evans and percussionist Mino Cinelu . A wildly prolific studio musician and bandleader, Miller and his distinctive bass virtuosity have been heard on well over 500 sessions for a dizzying array of major artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and McCoy Tyner to Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin, and Luther Vandross. He first appeared with Davis on the trumpeter’s 1980 comeback The Man with the Horn and went on to produce and largely compose Davis’s three late 80s albums Tutu (1986), Music from Siesta (1987), and Amandla (1989). 1982’s double live We Want Miles is a document of Davis’s first live performances after his self-imposed six-year retirement, culled from recordings in Boston, New York, and Tokyo and featuring two versions of the now-classic tracks “Jean-Pierre,” “Back Seat Betty,” and the Gershwin standard “My Man’s Gone Now.”

more
The Oakland-based band exploring the intersection of Carnatic Indian classical music with jazz and funk return to the Joe Henderson Lab with new music and material from their 2022 self-titled debut album. Made up of percussionist Rohan Krishnamurthy , saxophonist Prasant Radhakrishnan , and keyboardist Colin Hogan , the trio was formed in 2017 to perform at an UnderCover Presents concert in Berkeley honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles’ immortal Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band , and was the perfect outlet for longtime friends Krisnamurthy and Radhakrishnan to meld their love of jazz with their extensive South Indian classical training. A Kalamazoo, Michigan native, Krishnamurthy is one of the leading lights of Carnatic music in the U.S. and a master of the mridangam — a double-headed drum that is the primary rhythm accompaniment in Carnatic music and is played by Krishnamurthy in this project in conjunction with the Western drum set. Phoenix-born Radhakrishnan is known to SFJAZZ audiences through his dynamic Indo-Jazz trio VidyA and has been a major force in Bay Area jazz since 2005. Hogan is a San Francisco native who came through the prestigious Berkeley High jazz program and works with Tommy Igoe, Jazz Mafia, and his brothers in the Hogan Brothers band.

Winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition, Cyrille Aimée truly has jazz in her blood. Raised by a French father and Dominican mother in the northern French town of Samois-sur-Seine – the last home of Roma jazz giant Django Reinhardt – Aimée found inspiration in the music of Reinhardt and the freedom of the gypsy lifestyle, singing on street corners during travels across Europe. Winning the Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition in 2007 helped finance her self-produced debut album, and finishing as a finalist in the 2012 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocal Competition elevated Aimée’s visibility to a global level as a major new figure in jazz. A performer possessed of an infectious joy, lightness of touch and deep feeling for the lyric, Aimée released her breakout 2014 hit on Mack Avenue, It’s a Good Day , mixing Roma jazz inspirations, bossa nova, flamenco and the Great American Songbook. A relocation to Costa Rica and new motherhood have instilled a fresh inspiration in Aimée, and for these performances, she performs a cross-section of her wide-ranging repertoire including music from her latest Whirlwind release, à Fleur de Peau and live session, Cyrille Aimée: 4.24 .

PLEASE NOTE Due to a scheduling conflict, Hiromi's Saturday, October 3rd concert program has changed from The Trio Project to a duo concert with tap dancer Kazunori Kumagai. If you have any questions, please contact our Box Office at boxoffice@sfjazz.org or 415-788-7353 ABOUT THIS SHOW Virtuoso pianist Hiromi returns to the Miner stage with four exclusive nights with projects ranging from solo to trio. She kicks off her residency with remarkable duo evening with Japanese tap dance master Kazunori Kumagai , revisiting their ongoing collaboration that goes back to their showstopping debut performance at the 2011 Tokyo Jazz Festival. Moving to New York at age 19 to immerse himself in tap culture, Kumagai is a veteran of Ted Levy and Savion Glover’s “Funk University” — the training ground for the landmark musical Bring in da Noise, Bring in da Funk — and studied with the late legend Gregory Hines. After moving back to Japan, Kumagai built on his affinity for jazz with the iconic Japanese trumpeter Terumasa Hino and opened his own studio in Japan in 2008. He was selected as one of the “100 Most Influential Japanese People” by Newsweek Japan and appeared as a solo performer at the Opening Ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He and Hiromi first toured Japan together in 2018. Hiromi’s work in a duo setting has always been a hallmark of her career, in which the limitlessly talented pianist can play off their shared energy, taking both artists to new heights of creativity.

more
GRAMMY-nominated drummer, producer, and composer Blaque Dynamite has become one of the most dynamic and influential beat masters of his generation, celebrated for a style that merges explosive technical mastery with deep groove, humor, and boundless creativity. Born Mike Mitchell Jr. in Houston, Texas, he emerged as a prodigious talent at a young age, absorbing gospel, jazz, funk, and hip-hop into a singular musical language. His remarkable versatility quickly made him one of the most sought-after drummers in contemporary music. Blaque Dynamite’s résumé spans collaborations with some of the most important artists in modern jazz and beyond, including Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah. Equally comfortable anchoring intricate jazz ensembles or driving groove-heavy experimental projects, he has earned widespread acclaim for his improvisational brilliance, rhythmic innovation, and magnetic stage presence. In recent years, Blaque Dynamite has expanded his profile as a bandleader, producer, and multimedia artist, releasing projects that blur the boundaries between jazz fusion, beat culture, electronic music, and comedy-infused performance art. His latest work continues to push contemporary Black music into adventurous new territory, combining virtuosic musicianship with fearless experimentation and unmistakable personality.

Modern jazz giants Kurt Elling and The Yellowjackets make their joint debut on the Miner Auditorium stage in tribute to the groundbreaking fusion of Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter’s Weather Report. There is simply no artist in jazz having more fun than vocalist Kurt Elling. Over the past decade, the 17-time GRAMMY Award nominee (and two-time GRAMMY winner) has cut loose, following his quicksilver muse wherever it flows. Whether he’s reinventing pop and rock hits with guitar wizard Charlie Hunter, crooning standards with the New York Philharmonic and Germany’s WDR Big Band, or thriving in the volatile fray of the Branford Marsalis Quartet, Elling has been seizing any interesting opportunity to stretch his wings. One of his latest flights is a project with The Yellowjackets featuring his lyrics for seminal Weather Report compositions by Shorter and Zawinul. A brilliant wordsmith, Elling introduced several of the pieces with the SFJAZZ Collective last year. With The Yellowjackets he soars into the universe of fusion’s definitive band, transforming beloved instrumental pieces into enthralling songs. It’s a powerhouse collaboration that captures the celestial explorations, deep funk, world rhythms, and extended forms that made Weather Report a creative juggernaut.

Vocalist, composer, actor, and playwright Somi Kakoma is a sublimely gifted artist possessed of rare power and clarity. A Doris Duke Performing Artist Award winner, TED Senior Fellow, and the first African artist nominated for the GRAMMY for Best Jazz Vocal Album, she is “a virtuosic performer in full command of her instrument and powers” ( The New York Times ). Following her standout performance at the 42nd San Francisco Jazz Festival in 2025, she returns for a night on the Miner Auditorium stage. Born into a Rwandan & Ugandan family, the Illinois-born Kakoma spent her early childhood in Zambia, where she absorbed the music of her adopted home before returning to the States for college studies in anthropology and music — a balance of interests that has come to define her singular vision. Somi was championed and mentored by the iconic South African jazz giant Hugh Masekela and released her 2007 debut Red Soil in My Eyes for Harmonia Mundi’s World Village label — a release that set her on the path to worldwide recognition and globe-spanning tours. 2014’s major label debut The Lagos Music Salon hit #1 on the Billboard jazz chart and featured guest appearances by Common and Angelique Kidjo. Her latest album, What Does It Take To Bloom? , is a deeply personal song cycle on becoming and the courage to come home to oneself.

Known for his work with Braxton Cook and his brilliant string of releases as a leader, the rising pianist and composer Mathis Picard debuts at SFJAZZ with his trio. Picard has emerged as one of the most innovative young voices in contemporary jazz, blending classical precision, stride piano, electronic textures, and global rhythms into a style uniquely his own. Born in France to Malagasy and French parents, Picard began playing piano at the age of three and quickly displayed extraordinary talent. By age ten, he had already been recognized as a “rising star” at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival piano competition, a milestone that foreshadowed an international career. After studying at The Juilliard School under legendary pianist Kenny Barron, Picard developed a fearless artistic voice rooted in both jazz tradition and modern experimentation. Throughout his career, Picard has collaborated with acclaimed artists including Ron Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Braxton Cook, and Cyrille Aimée, earning praise for both his virtuosity and emotional depth. His latest acclaimed album, Heat of the Moment , explores themes of climate change, community, and resilience through rich collaborations and bold compositions. The album confirms Picard as not only a remarkable pianist, but also a visionary composer shaping the future of jazz.

With “a stunning voice, a confident multicultural vision grounded in her Mixtec Indian roots” ( LA Times ), Lila Downs is one of Latin America’s most influential voices - an artist with a singular sound, magnetic stage presence, and recognized with multiple GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY Awards, including the recipient of the 2026 Latin GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. With her new album Cambias mi Mundo ( You Change My World ), she returns to the Miner stage for four nights after her hugely successful run of Día de los Muertos performances at the Paramount. The album marks a return to her essence: deeply committed to global causes, passionate, intimate and celebratory. She made her major label debut with 1999’s jazz-informed La Sandunga , and her contributions to the 2002 Frida Kahlo biopic Frida elevated her status to that of a major international star. Downs has become recognized worldwide as a global ambassador for Mexico’s folkloric traditions and champion for the preservation of native Mexican culture, recording songs in indigenous Mayan, Nahuatl, Trique, and Purépecha languages. Rooted in Oaxaca and shaped between Mexico and the United States, she weaves Mexican tradition with jazz, cumbia, folk, and contemporary rhythms. Her music is both celebration and conscience; she turns each concert into a gathering—intimate, fearless, and deeply human.

For these two nights, pianist Zaccai Curtis leads a fiery sextet reviving Afro-Cuban bebop. His 2024 release Cubop Lives! reimagines jazz history with bold, modern swing, winning a GRAMMY for Best Latin Jazz Album. Born in New York and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Curtis grew up immersed in jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and the rich musical traditions of his Puerto Rican and African American heritage. A student of Jackie McLean’s Artists Collective, he developed into a pianist and composer celebrated for combining technical brilliance with deep rhythmic sophistication. Over the years, Curtis has collaborated with major artists including Eddie Palmieri, Brian Lynch, Christian Scott, Donald Harrison, and Santana, while also building a celebrated musical partnership with his brother, bassist Luques Curtis. Together, they co-founded the Truth Revolution Recording Collective and have become leading voices in contemporary Latin jazz. Cubop Lives! pays tribute to the explosive fusion of bebop and Afro-Cuban music pioneered by Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo, and Mario Bauzá, while showcasing Curtis’ dynamic working sextet. Featuring Luques Curtis, Willie Martinez III, Camilo Molina, and Reinaldo de Jesús, the ensemble delivers electrifying performances filled with rhythmic fire, virtuosity, and joyous improvisation.

A jazz vocalist with “an awe-inspiring voice” ( The Mercury News ), Marina Crouse is known for her latest album Canto de mi Corazón and for her sold-out Hotplate tributes to Eydie Gormé and Ernestine Anderson. A powerful and versatile Bay Area artist, Crouse blends jazz, blues, soul, Latin music, and classic bolero traditions into performances marked by emotional honesty and deep cultural connection. Raised in California and deeply influenced by her Chicana heritage, she first gained recognition for her expressive interpretations and remarkable vocal control, shaped in part by early classical training. Her 2018 debut album, Never Too Soon , introduced audiences to a singer equally at home with blues, R&B, and jazz-inflected storytelling. With Canto de mi Corazón , Crouse turned toward the Spanish-language music that filled her childhood home, paying heartfelt tribute to Eydie Gormé and Los Panchos through lush, intimate renditions of beloved boleros. The album earned praise for its warmth, authenticity, and elegant vocal phrasing, solidifying her place as one of the Bay Area’s most compelling interpreters of Latin jazz and traditional song. Beyond the recording studio, Crouse has collaborated with leading regional musicians and become celebrated for honoring jazz and blues legends while bringing her own soulful perspective to every performance.

"A force to be reckoned with no matter the setting” ( JazzTimes ), Troy Roberts is a powerhouse saxophonist shaping modern jazz — a three-time GRAMMY nominee known widely for his work with Orrin Evans, Veronica Swift, and Kurt Elling, among many others. He’s released five albums as a leader including his latest, 2024’s Green Lights , and his ongoing quintet project Nu-Jive fuses groove, virtuosity, and bold improvisation into a fresh, high-energy sound. For this performance, he is joined by guitarist Tim Jago , pianist Alex Pastrana , electric bassist Eric England and drummer Rodolfo Zuniga . A transplant from Perth, Australia, Roberts emigrated to the U.S. for studies at the University of Miami and established himself in the New York scene, working with organist Joey DeFrancesco, drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts, and pianist Orrin Evans’s Captain Black Big Band. He was a semi-finalist in the 2008 Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition and was the recipient of three consecutive DownBeat Jazz Soloist Awards, and has contributed to recordings by Van Morrison, Sammy Figuroa, and Dave Grusin, among others. Influenced by the electro-acoustic fusion tradition, Roberts’s Nu-Jive quintet is possessed of telepathic interplay and superlative musicianship, best experienced as a living, breathing groove machine on stage. To that end, their newest album, 2023’s Nu-Jive: Live at the Perth International Jazz Festival is a fiery homecoming performance for Roberts showcasing the sparkling lineup of guitarist Tim Jago, keyboardist Silvano Monasterios, bassist Eric England, and drummer David Chiverton.

For his night in our series devoted to solo projects by SFJAZZ Collective members, tenor saxophonist and composer David Sánchez brings his Carib ensemble to the stage, presenting the West Coast premiere of his new work, Tambó . Formed to record his 2019 album of the same name, Carib represents a deeply personal journey for Sánchez, and the GRAMMY-nominated debut recording was a trailblazing use of modern jazz to explore the kinship between the West African drum rhythms of Yuba, Calinda, and Sika and traditional music in Haiti, Carriacou, and his native Puerto Rico. Dedicated to the memory of Sánchez’s mentor, the late Nuyorican piano legend Eddie Palmieri, Tambó (drum) was inspired by a recent trip to Haiti and Puerto Rico and the chants and rhythms drawn from the *bomba* tradition he heard in Loíza and San Basilio de Palenque in Colombia. Since his early exposure with Dizzy Gillespie’s United Nations Orchestra, Sánchez has become one of the most celebrated instrumentalists in jazz, recording ten albums as a leader and winning a Latin GRAMMY Award for his 2004 orchestral session, Coral. Over a career full of highlights, he’s performed with a roster of greats including Charlie Haden, Eddie Palmieri, Roy Haynes, Tom Harrell, Roy Hargrove, and Pat Metheny, among others. In addition to Palmieri, Tambó is, in Sánchez’s words, “dedicated to the ancestors who live through us and inspire us with their spiritual strength.”

Singer-songwriter El David Aguilar has become one of the most inventive and emotionally resonant voices in contemporary Latin music, blending folk, bolero, jazz, and rock into songs marked by poetic lyricism and fearless experimentation. Born in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, Aguilar began writing songs as a teenager and quickly distinguished himself through his literary approach to songwriting and his richly expressive voice. Over the past decade, he has built a devoted international following while earning acclaim for albums that merge traditional Mexican influences with sophisticated modern arrangements. Aguilar has collaborated with celebrated artists including Natalia Lafourcade, Jorge Drexler, and Mon Laferte, establishing himself as a central figure in the new generation of Latin American troubadours. His work has received multiple nominations from the Latin GRAMMY Awards, including five 2018 nominations for his 2017 album Siguiente Segundo including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for Embrujo . Aguilar’s latest album, Compita del Destino , showcases the artist at his most adventurous and intimate. Filled with vivid storytelling, intricate harmonies, and warm acoustic textures, the record explores fate, friendship, love, and personal transformation. The album confirms Aguilar’s reputation as a songwriter capable of turning deeply personal experiences into music of universal emotional power.
