DEAR FRIENDS OF SFJAZZ
In the coming months we close out our
3rd Season here at the SFJAZZ Center.
Since we opened our doors on January
23, 2013—Martin Luther King Day—we
have continued to grow! The members
of SFJAZZ have grown from 3,000 at
groundbreaking to over 11,000. SFJAZZ
Members support the artistic and education programs here at the Center and are our
most engaged patrons. They truly are the heart of the SFJAZZ community.
Among the highlights in these final months are a number of musicians from around the
world—German cabaret stars Max Raabe and Palast Orchester (4/3 at Davies Symphony
Hall), Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil (4/16 at Davies Symphony Hall), and Ukraine’s
avant/folk group DakhaBrakha (4/16).
The international focus continues with performance by our SFJAZZ Resident Artistic
Directors. Our Resident Artistic Director (RAD) program is unique to SFJAZZ. Every
two years we select four artists to each curate a week (Thursday through Sunday) of
performances. Often these shows include premieres and rarely performed works or
ensembles. March opens with RAD Zakir Hussain presenting a San Francisco premiere
and world premiere, respectively. In Celtic Connections (4/2 & 3), he combines a group
of master Indian musicians with a group of master Celtic musicians. He teams up with
Beninese jazz guitarist Lionel Loueke (4/4 & 5), connecting India, West Africa and jazz.
RADs Terence Blanchard and Esperanza Spalding are featuring new work as well as
significant past work. Blanchard joins—in a premiere—with his former teacher, piano great
Kenny Barron and his former student, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire (4/9). His new
electric band Terence Blanchard E-Collective makes their West Coast debut (4/10).
A Tale of God’s Will (4/11 & 12) is Blanchard’s GRAMMY-winning interpretation of the
devastation of Hurricane Katrina—featuring his quintet with orchestra. Spalding is
reprising her last two big projects—Chamber Music Society (4/30) and Radio Music Society (5/1) and presenting the West Coast premiere of her Emily Project (5/2 & 3).
Other highlights range from the Bay Area to Appalachia, from locals to legends in five
themed weeks. Our Poet Laureate Ishmael Reed curates a Poetry Festival (4/16–19).
Newly awarded National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Charles Lloyd offers three
different programs—the West Coast premiere of Wild Man Dance Suite (4/23 & 24),
the New Quartet which features past RAD Jason Moran (4/25), and Charles Lloyd and Friends with Bill Frisell (4/26). African-American Appalachian music is at the center
of the Carolina Chocolate Drops (4/14–17). The Bay Area’s Lavay Smith pays tribute to
four different jazz and blues vocal styles (5/21–24). And legendary performance artist/
musician Laurie Anderson explores four different jazz-related collaborations, (5/28–31).
Thank you for making the SFJAZZ Center the most vibrant place to see music anywhere.
See you at the Center!

SFJAZZ Founder & Executive Artistic Director
P.S. And don’t forget! We honor Joni Mitchell, and her strong connections to jazz,

WELCOME TO SFJAZZ
Thank you for being part of one of the
most successful jazz experiments in the
world! When the SFJAZZ Center opened
its doors in January 2013, our goal was to
present a rich range of artists in a uniquely
beautiful space designed to give jazz the
jewel-like setting it deserves.
As SFJAZZ wraps up its 2014/15 Season,
we are reminded that our schedule is
loaded with one-of-a-kind performances
that take advantage of the Center’s unique
characteristics—an environment that is
perfectly suited for jazz. We’re grateful
that our efforts to celebrate and nurture this American art form continue to meet with
your enthusiastic support. Success doesn’t come easily, but we see a future that is rich
with purpose, community and many, many great nights of jazz.
With so much great music and so many special events at SFJAZZ, our weekly Tuesday
e-newsletter is perfect for staying up to date with the upcoming concert schedule, album
releases, hands-on classes, extra shows, partner events, and updated ticket availability.
The e-newsletter will also direct you to the SFJAZZ blog and SFJAZZ Radio for interviews
with the musicians you want to hear from.
You can also take SFJAZZ wherever you go with our mobile app. You can use it to
purchase tickets, get your member discounts, check the schedule and just about anything
else—including using the app to display your tickets on your smart phone, so there’s
no need to print them out. If you’re like me and sometimes want the comfort of printed
tickets—that’s fine too. You can print them at home, pick them up at the box office or we’ll
mail them to you.
We know that you can’t be here every night but if you take a peek at our Facebook
pages, Twitter feeds (@SFJAZZ and @SFJAZZalerts) and Instagram accounts, you’ll see
that there are a lot of ways to make SFJAZZ your destination and your source for jazz.
It’s great to see you at the Center,
Donald W. Derheim

F ounded by Randall Kline in 1983 under the name Jazz in the City, SFJAZZ has become the world’s leading cultural institution
devoted to jazz and related forms of music, presenting over 300 performances each year at the new SFJAZZ Center and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
In addition to presenting the SFJAZZ annual season, the San Francisco Jazz Festival and SFJAZZ Summer Sessions, SFJAZZ supports a vibrant local music scene with Hotplate events and their free summer concerts at Stanford Shopping Center and Levi’s Plaza, and nurtures aspiring musicians with diverse education programs and performing ensembles.
In January 2013, SFJAZZ took the most audacious step in its evolution, opening the 36,000-square-foot, $64 million SFJAZZ Center on the corner of Fell and Franklin streets in the heart of San Francisco’s cultural corridor.
The first stand-alone structure in the country built specifically for jazz, the SFJAZZ Center was designed by award-winning San Francisco architect Mark Cavagnero, who worked with acoustician
Sam Berkow and theater designer Len Auerbach to create a main performance space with the acoustic quality of a great concert hall and the relaxed intimacy of a jazz club. That’s the Robert N. Miner Auditorium, a flexible, scalable venue that seats up to 700 people in close proximity to the musicians with superb sight lines and pristine acoustics tailored for jazz performance.
The 100-seat Joe Henderson Lab is the SFJAZZ Center’s street-level performance and rehearsal space, named for the late, great saxophonist and San Francisco resident, which also serves as the nerve center for the organization’s education department. Students of all ages use the Joe Henderson Lab as well as the practice rooms and cutting edge digital lab for workshops, rehearsals, master classes and private instruction.
“We wanted to create a community gathering place around jazz,” Kline says, “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.”

ZAKIR HUSSAIN MAR 30–APR 5 The scion of a legendary Hindustani percussion dynasty, Zakir Hussain is universally acknowledged as the world’s greatest tabla virtuoso, a master of classical North Indian music who has collaborated with a glittering roster of international stars including Charles Lloyd, Mickey Hart and the legendary group Shakti with guitarist John McLaughlin and violinist L. Shankar. Bay Area audiences have been fortunate to experience Hussain’s groundbreaking creative journey up close since he settled in the region to teach at San Anselmo’s Ali Akbar Khan College of Music in 1970. As a band leader, a dogged promoter of Hindustani and South Indian Carnatic traditions, a Bollywood and Hollywood film composer, and a pioneer of world music and Indo-jazz fusion, he has blazed a mind-boggling array of musical trails. His programming as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director showcases a cross section of his creative pursuits.
ERIC HARLAND JAN 29–FEB 1 A leading drummer on the national scene, Texas-born Eric Harland has performed with jazz legends like Betty Carter, Joe Henderson and McCoy Tyner, and has played on more than 70 recordings with such artists as Terence Blanchard, Greg Osby, Charles Lloyd and Zakir Hussain. In DownBeat’s 65th Annual Readers Poll, he was included in the short list of top drummers, in the company of masters like Roy Haynes and the late Elvin Jones. In 2010, Harland claimed DownBeat’s top spot in the Rising Star Drummer category of the Annual Critics Poll for the third straight year. His debut recording as a leader, Voyager, Live by Night, was released in 2011, and his latest album with Voyager, Vipassana, was released this year. This four-night residency presents a wide range of his stimulating music.

TERENCE BLANCHARD APR 9–12 Trumpeter Terence Blanchard is jazz’s foremost Renaissance man. A savvy band leader, celebrated film composer, brilliant jazz writer and influential educator, the GRAMMY-winning New Orleans native is a creative force who sits at the apex of the contemporary jazz scene. After an apprenticeship with jazz legend Art Blakey, Blanchard co-led a quintet with saxophonist Donald Harrison during the height of the “young lion” era of the 1980s, releasing five acclaimed sessions before striking out on his own as a solo artist. He has composed over 40 movie scores, including soundtracks for the majority of director Spike Lee’s work, making Blanchard the most prolific jazz artist working in film. As an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, he is able to present programs that express the diversity of his vision.
In a program
unique to SFJAZZ,
four of music’s most
adventurous artists
are selected every
two years to curate
a week of exclusive
programming during
each annual season.
These performances
premiere new work,
present first-time
collaborations, cross
stylistic boundaries,
and break new
creative ground.
ESPERANZA SPALDING APR 30–MAY 3Bassist, vocalist and composer Esperanza Spalding is the most inspiring ambassador in jazz, a spellbinding talent who has brought her sleek and soulful sound to a vast international audience. Through network television appearances and command performances at the White House, she has captured a new generation’s imagination while maintaining the highest standards as an improviser. Spalding’s singular status became clearly evident with her stunning breakthrough as the first jazz musician ever to win the coveted GRAMMY Award as Best New Artist. She has worked with jazz giants including Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Joe Lovano, and is one third of the virtuoso ACS Trio with pianist Geri Allen and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington. But it is as a band leader that she has truly made her mark, releasing a string of albums including the blockbusters Chamber Music Society and Radio Music Society.

F or an artist who considers herself a painter above anything else, Joni Mitchell has had an extraordinary impact on modern music. Often
associated with folk and rock styles, the SFJAZZ Gala 2015 honoree has had a longtime love for and affiliation with jazz, using it as a primary inspiration for her music during the mid-1970s and early 1980s and carrying that influence into all her work that followed.
Mitchell’s integration of jazz elements and use of jazz musicians began with her celebrated 1974 release Court & Spark, a GRAMMY-winning artistic and commercial triumph that was a noticeable departure from her earlier efforts, ranking at #113 in Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The session is marked by a loosened sense of structure, a cover of the Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross crossover jazz hit “Twisted” (itself a re-imagined vocal version of saxophonist Wardell Gray’s jazz instrumental), and appearances by members of the jazz/fusion bands The Crusaders and the L.A. Express. Jazz was an equally profound part of the GRAMMY-
nominated 1975 album The Hissing of Summer Lawns, which contains a fresh version of trumpeter Harry “Sweets” Edison’s jazz standard “Centerpiece” and an appearance by saxophonist Bud Shank.
During this fertile period of experimentation, Mitchell struck up a friendship with electric bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius, a hugely influential musician who had recently become a member of fusion superband Weather Report. The bassist’s presence is keenly felt on a pair of tracks on the acclaimed Summer Lawns follow-up, Hejira, with his unmistakable fretless tone providing a soaring melodic contrast to Mitchell’s exploratory vocals. Pastorius was a fully integrated collaborator on Mitchell’s

Zakir Hussain is universally acknowledged as the world’s greatest tabla virtuoso, a master of classical North Indian music and a pioneer of world music and Indo-jazz fusion. His programming as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director showcases a cross section of his creative pursuits.
PULSE OF THE WORLD ZAKIR HUSSAIN & CELTIC CONNECTIONSTabla genius Zakir Hussain’s cross-cultural project combines an ensemble of master Indian musicians with a stellar group of artists from the Celtic tradition in an exploration of their shared language. This inspired concept first took shape in 2011 during Hussain’s appearance in Glasgow with an esteemed
cast of Celtic musicians, with a triumphant reprise at the 2012 London Olympic Festival. The harmonious blend of sonorities from these disparate cultures provides a musical experience that explores common threads with sounds rarely heard together. In Zakir’s words: “I had all these preconceived ideas of what we would do and how we would make it work. But the more I think about this the more I’ve come to feel that we’re musicians. We’re the same the world over. If you put us in a room together, we’ll make music…There’s no meter that hasn’t been played, no rhythm that hasn’t been composed. It’s the musicians’ own qualities that allow them to make music different—that’s what’s exciting about this project for me. It’s fresh music sparked by the humanity of those involved.”

COMMON GROUND ZAKIR HUSSAIN & LIONEL LOUEKE + SPECIAL GUESTSThe duet spotlight with tabla master Zakir Hussain and Beninese guitar star Lionel Loueke was a highlight of jazz legend Herbie Hancock’s performances in Season 2. Inspired by their instant chemistry and limitless possibilities, the two
virtuosos revisit this sublime new collaboration, with special guests Rakesh Chaurasia on Bansuri flute and violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan. Loueke is easily one of the most identifiable and esteemed guitarists in jazz, best known as a member of Herbie Hancock’s working band, for his work with Terence Blanchard, and his seven acclaimed sessions as a leader. The guitarist won a coveted spot in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz in 2001, when he auditioned for a panel of heavyweights including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Terence Blanchard. Blanchard featured the guitarist on his acclaimed Blue Note albums Bounce and Flow, leading to his current association with Hancock, who has showcased Loueke’s guitar work and sonorous vocals on several CDs and world tours. The scion of a legendary Hindustani percussion dynasty, Zakir Hussain is universally acknowledged as the world’s greatest tabla virtuoso, a master of classical North Indian music who has collaborated with a glittering roster of international stars.

TAMMY HALL
PLAYS SHIRLEY HORN Bay Area-based pianist, organist and vocalist Tammy Hall salutes one of the greatest jazz vocalists (and keyboardists) of all time, the late, great Shirley Horn. A supremely gifted
pianist versed in jazz, gospel, and classical music, Hall began keyboard studies at age four in her native Dallas and relocated to the Bay Area to attend Mills College. Following a two-year stay in Belgium, she returned to San Francisco in 1989 and established herself as a first-call keyboardist and accompanist, performing with artists including Houston Person, David “Fathead” Newman, Marcus Shelby, Regina Carter, Kim Nalley, Melba Moore, and Etta Jones, to name but a few. Hall is a respected educator and band leader, releasing a pair of superb albums under her name as well as a duo recording of spirituals with vocalist Valerie Joi.
For these performances, Hall pays tribute to one of her greatest influences, Shirley Horn, the masterful pianist who was also one of the finest ballad vocalists in jazz.
“ She has an uncluttered, telegraphic style marked by her classical training and deep roots in gospel.” —JAZZTIMES

The theme of the 2015 SFJAZZ Poetry Festival is “The Cities Speak Of Poetry.” Four nights of poetry from San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Berkeley. Among the poets participating will be former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass, Poet Laureates Devorah Major, Juan Felipe Herrera and Al Young.
—ISHMAEL REED, SFJAZZ POET LAUREATE
BERKELEY The Bay Area’s historic center of social consciousness, Berkeley continues to be a beacon for artists and thinkers. On Saturday, the city’s current crop of poetic voices unites.
OAKLAND Oakland has a long-established history of literature and poetry, and this night celebrates the poets who represent the dynamism and diversity of the East Bay.
SAN JOSE A cultural melting pot, San Jose offers a unique view on the Bay Area experience, and these artists reflect this perspective.
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco was ground zero for many legendary poets of the Beat Generation, and remains a mecca for spoken word artists. Sunday’s event presents an engaging group of the City’s finest poets.
2015 SFJAZZ POETRY FESTIVAL
UKRAINIAN ROOTS Kiev’s DakhaBrakha weaves ancient Ukrainian folk melodies into a subversive musical tapestry that embraces indie rock, pop, hip hop, the avant garde, and traditional
instrumentation from around the world. With a name that translates as “give/take” in old Ukrainian, the quartet began a decade ago as the musical component of avant garde stage performances at the DAKH Theater in Kiev. DahkaBrakha has a musical approach based around unearthly vocal harmonies and thunderous percussion, augmented by floating cello and accordion sonorities. Heralded by Rolling Stone as the “Best Breakout” performers at 2014’s Bonnaroo festival, the band calls their music “ethno-chaos,” a moniker that perfectly describes their fearless appropriation of African, Asian, Arabic and Western influences in creation of their singular sound.

experimental double album, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter, which reveled in spacious, improvised structures and boasted a cast of musicians including Pastorius’ Weather Report bandmates Wayne Shorter, Alex Acuña, Don Alias, and Manolo Badrena.
In the mid-70s, Mitchell came to the attention of legendary bassist and composer Charles Mingus, who expressed a desire to collaborate on a new project that would set Mitchell’s voice to his inimitable compositions. The resulting album, Mingus, is a rich and evocative musical portrait that turned out to be the jazz icon’s final recording—Mingus lost his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) prior to the release of the album in 1979. Initially conceived to be an orchestral setting of T.S. Eliot’s meditational work Four Quartets, Mingus is Mitchell’s most pure jazz release, expanding Mingus’ basic melodies with an ensemble consisting of Wayne Shorter and other members of Weather Report along with pianist Herbie Hancock. Mitchell toured the world behind the Mingus release with a spectacular jazz
group that included Pastorius, guitarist Pat Metheny and saxophonist Michael Brecker—a band captured on the live 1980 release Shadows and Light.
Though Mitchell’s jazz influences would eventually be tempered by new approaches over the ensuing years, she has maintained a connection to jazz, continuing to work with a diverse range of jazz artists including saxophonist Wayne Shorter and trumpeters Kenny Wheeler, Wallace Roney and Chris Botti. In 2000, she issued Both Sides Now, an album of standards. Drummer Brian Blade, a longtime member of Wayne Shorter’s remarkable quartet and an acclaimed band leader in his own right, has worked regularly with Joni Mitchell, appearing on her Taming the Tiger (1998), Travelogue (2002) and Shine (2007) recordings and tours. He will perform with his sublime Fellowship band at the 2015 SFJAZZ Gala honoring Mitchell.
Just as she found inspiration in the freedom and spontaneity of jazz, the quality of Joni Mitchell’s timeless compositions has had an enduring impact on jazz vocalists and
instrumentalists, who have treated her songs as modern standards themselves. This impact had its ultimate expression in Herbie Hancock’s 2007 session River: The Joni Letters, which gave Mitchell’s music a fresh treatment with guest vocalists Norah Jones, Corinne Bailey Ray, Tina Turner, Leonard Cohen, and even Mitchell herself. The album earned much-deserved GRAMMY awards for Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Jazz Album.
SFJAZZ will hold its annual Gala on May 8, 2015, honoring Joni Mitchell with the SFJAZZ Lifetime Achievement Award for her artistic vision and contributions to modern music. The Gala concert, curated by Joni Mitchell herself and led by longtime collaborator Brian Blade and keyboardist John Cowherd, will feature a preeminient line-up interpreting her groundbreaking work.SFJAZZ Trustee Nion McEvoy and longtime SFJAZZ supporter Penny Coulter will co-chair the event. All proceeds from the SFJAZZ Gala 2015 will support SFJAZZ’s artistic and education programs. ■
