DEAR MUSIC LOVERS
Welcome to Holiday Season at the
SFJAZZ Center. We conceived the Center
as a community-gathering place for
artists and audiences to come together—
in an intimate yet open environment—to
experience music’s power to inspire. Since
we opened in January 2013, we have been
fortunate to have many unforgettable
moments, and the next two months hold the promise for yet more.
November (actually 10/29–11/1) opens with Chucho Valdés & Irakere, premiering a new
iteration of the historic Cuban band of the 1970s that broke new ground by mixing
Afro-Cuban jazz with traditional Cuban popular dance music. The Bay Area’s own Latin
Jazz legend John Santos celebrates his 60th birthday (11/1) with a one-time-only group
of musical guests tracing John’s history (including playing in the first concert of this
organization in 1983) as a bandleader and percussionist. Gypsy jazz guitar genius
Dorado Schmitt returns carrying forward the hot jazz of Django Reinhardt (11/5–8).
Also November 5–8 in the Joe Henderson Lab, Brazilian singer-songwriter Márcio Faraco
makes a rare U.S. appearance, evoking and expanding the bossa nova tradition. Brad
Mehldau Trio (11/13–14) delves deeper into expanding the jazz trio. Chris Thile makes
a rare solo appearance (11/13). We explore the jazz clarinet with a four-night intensive
“In the Reeds” (11/12–15) featuring some of jazz’s clarinet luminaries—David Murray,
Don Byron, Anat Cohen, Todd Marcus, Evan Christopher and the Bay Area’s Beth Custer.
One of our SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Directors, Esperanza Spalding, will present four
distinct programs (11/19–22) and the month closes out over Thanksgiving weekend with
one of the most intimate and warm duets to be heard, South African icon Hugh Masekela
and pianist Larry Willis. Their musical relationship goes back over 50 years. And that is
just November! Don’t forget to see our award-winning SFJAZZ High School All-Stars
(11/20) and SFJAZZ Hotplate with Mad Duran playing Lou Donaldson’s classic Blues Walk.
December is also chock-a-block with “only at SFJAZZ” shows including Western
swing-influenced county legend Merle Haggard at the Paramount (12/4), a drummer/
leader week (12/3–6), The Bad Plus Joshua Redman (12/10–13), four Holiday-themed
shows (12/16–20) to close out 2015, and on New Year’s Eve we can all groove into the
New Year with the James Brown inspired sound of Maceo Parker (12/31–1/3).
I want to give particular thanks to SFJAZZ Members, whose ranks quadrupled since
groundbreaking—from 3,000 to 12,000. The annual support of Members insures
our mission of offering the highest level of music and education programs—and the
continued growth of jazz.
See you at the Center!

“ 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 SFJAZZ PATRON
Thank you for coming to the SFJAZZ
Center for a night of music. All of us
recognize the change of seasons—yes,
even in San Francisco—and we often make
time near the end of year to reflect on
things in our lives that have changed.
That said, I’m happy to report that some
things are not changing:
1. You’re still hearing the greatest music in
this beautiful venue, specifically built for
live jazz performance.
2. The best, most talented, and most
interesting jazz artists keep coming to play at the SFJAZZ Center.
3. You are still sitting, at most, just 54 feet from the edge of the stage!
4. And, our “kids,” the SFJAZZ High School All-Stars, continue to win prestigious awards
and entertain audiences.
Your participation at SFJAZZ is very important. As an educational not-for-profit
organization (did you know we spend 11,747 hours with kids in the classroom last year?),
it takes contributions and volunteers to keep SFJAZZ programming and learning services
running at their best.
I thank you—in advance—for any end-of-year giving you consider.
We have also created a new support program in 2015 that will
grow to provide the foundation of SFJAZZ’s financial security.
It’s named Legacy Circle and is designed to enable you to make
a bequest or other gifts to our endowment and special reserves.
Future generations of jazz musicians and fans are going to benefit
from the gifts you plan for today. Our own Kerry Weddington
(pictured right) offers assistance at 415.283.0330 or via email
SFJAZZ is growing because of you, and we have a lot to be grateful for, including this
amazing schedule of programs and everything we’ve featured on SFJAZZ.org.
Cheers!

You’ve undoubtedly heard James Brown’s “Doing it to Death,” a.k.a. “Gonna Have a Funky Good Time.” It sounds like the world’s greatest party is happening in the recording studio as Brown shouts, “Maceo! Brother
Maceo! Got to blow!” And then Maceo Parker responds with his alto saxophone, stutter-stepping and bumping the beat, dodging between Brown’s vocalisms—like a snake, Maceo, playing those sneaky staccato phrases, reiterating them, like a chant, talking through his horn, turning his saxophone into an irresistible rhythm instrument. It was Brown doing it to death, but it was Maceo, too, creating the beat that has moved millions of bodies through the subsequent decades. It was the beat that George Clinton grabbed onto with Parliament/Funkadelic, the beat that helped set the stage for disco and hip-hop.
Great bandleaders hire great musicians. Miles Davis hired Wayne Shorter. Brown hired Maceo Parker. And the sound of
a great instrumentalist, with time, will permeate the musical environment. Parker’s sound is part of our environment, has been for decades. Without him, there is no Gary Bartz inciting a revolution with his NTU Troop, there is no Kenny Garrett free-styling with his horn, there is no Steve Coleman cueing diamond-hard grooves with his alto saxophone. Parker is a modest man; he shrugs off the notion that his sound reverberates through the modern history of jazz and popular music. Asked to describe his musical legacy, he talks about the audience: “You just want to give somebody a chance to relax and smile.”
He grew up in Kinston, North Carolina, where his parents ran church choir rehearsals at home. With brothers Melvin (a drummer, who would also join Brown’s band) and Kellis (a trombonist and future law professor), Maceo founded a group called the Junior Blue Notes, covering hits by Lloyd Price, Little Willie John and the Drifters. They did the Isley Brothers’ “Shout,” too.

MACEO PARKER: 98% FUNKY STUFF
21
Parker wore out a million records: Johnny Mathis, Sinatra, Ella, Boots Randolph and especially Ray Charles. His saxophone models were Stanley Turrentine and David “Fathead” Newman, as well as his high school music teacher, a Mr. Banks, who played in the manner of Sonny Stitt. Parker learned to imitate his teacher’s approach.
Nevertheless, he says, “The funky side was sort of overpowering the jazz and swing thing.”
Around this time, Parker attended a James Brown show and was astonished, he once told me: “Because I was still young and I didn’t understand how people who were supposed to be of stature in the community—school teachers and good church-
going folks—could be screaming and falling down in a frenzy and carrying on. That was what was more interesting to me—the audience rather than the music. And I said, ‘What is this thing he’s got?’ I said, ‘What the devil is it?’ He knew how to work the audience.”
Brown’s concerts were built around the same principle as a gospel show—raising the temperature higher and higher. The band was prepared: musically super-tight, sartorially immaculate. Starting in 1964, when Parker joined Brown—his tenure would extend off and on for nearly 25 years—he served as back-up emcee and back-up comic. He also played back-up to the guy who removed the ermine cape from Brown’s shoulders. “We used to call that `throwin’ the cape,’ “ Parker told me. “I must’ve done everything but front office work.”

THE LEGENDARY BAND RETURNS
CHUCHO VALDÉS & IRAKEREOCT 29–31 thu–sat • 7:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM NOV 1 sun • 2pm MINER AUDITORIUM
A singular force in Cuban music for more than half a century, piano virtuoso Chucho Valdés is reuniting with a new version of Irakere, the legendary band that changed the course of Latin music in the 1970s and 80s. The son of celebrated pianist and Havana bandleader Bebo Valdés, Chucho was already recognized as the more formidable pianist of his generation when he launched Irakare in 1973 with a phenomenal cast that included Paquito D’Rivera and Arturo Sandoval. The band’s unprecedented synthesis of folkloric Afro-Cuban rhythms, sacred drums, rock, funk, and jazz opened up vast new frontiers, and helped pave the way for the pervasively popular dance music known as timba. Similar to Valdés’s 2011 GRAMMY-winning Afro-Cuban Messengers album Chucho’s Steps, the new edition of Irakare is a vivid vehicle designed to introduce audiences to a blazing new generation of Cuban talent.

60TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
JOHN SANTOSNOV 1 SUN • 8pm MINER AUDITORIUM
Far more than a master percussionist, John Santos is an invaluable educator and cultural activist, a keeper of the Afro-Caribbean flame steeped in Cuban and Puerto Rican folkloric traditions as well as salsa and Latin jazz. Born and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District, he’s been at the center of the Bay Area’s Latin music scene for nearly four decades. In addition to his roles as a musician, a visionary bandleader, and a respected educator, he is a noted historian of the music and has served on the Smithsonian Institution’s Latin Jazz Advisory Committee. Santos has played an essential role in expanding Latin jazz’s rhythmic lexicon beyond the foundational Cuban grooves, and his programming as one of SFJAZZ’s inaugural Resident Artistic Directors reflected his pan-Caribbean sensibility. Join us for this exclusive, all-star concert event celebrating his 60th birthday with a number of special guests.

JOE HENDERSON LAB
With a soft voice echoing his beloved countryman João Gilberto and jazz hero Chet Baker, Brazilian singer, composer and guitarist Márcio Faraco has absorbed the pan-global influences of his adopted home in France, integrating his gentle samba and bossa nova with tinges of jazz, African music and Portuguese fado. His unique approach attracted the attention of legendary Brazilian singer/songwriter Chico Buarque, who opened doors for him back home with an invitation to participate on an Antonio Carlos Jobim tribute album with the likes of Maria Bethânia and Hermeto Pascoal. A scarce presence on Bay Area stages since making his US debut in 2000 opening for Toots Thielemans as part of the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Faraco is a quietly enthralling performer whose latest record, Cajueiro, fuses the Brazilian tradition with the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt.

No one has done more to ignite interest in the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt than dazzling French guitarist and violinist Dorado Schmitt. Born to Gypsy parents near the German border in Lorraine, Schmitt was weaned on traditional Roma music and Gypsy jazz, but rebelled as a teenager by taking up electric guitar and emulating Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. By the mid-90s he was a leading figure on the international Gypsy jazz scene, where he continues to represent the art form at its highest level. He’s joined by a cast of fiercely swinging compatriots, including
the brilliant jazz accordionist Ludovic Beier and violinist Pierre Blanchard, who was tapped by Grappelli himself as a worthy successor.

Described by JazzTimes as “one of the most consistently fascinating voices in current jazz,” Brad Mehldau has done more to extend and refine the piano trio’s possibilities than any artist in the last two decades, whether playing his own stunning compositions, Thelonious Monk classics, American Songbook standards, or more contemporary tunes by Nick Drake, Radiohead or the Beatles. His career has encompassed a truly impressive variety of settings over nearly 30 recordings, from duet work with mezzo-soprano Ann Sofie Von Otter to his recent electronica-drenched Mehliana project with drumming powerhouse Mark Guiliana. But wherever
his musical travels take him, the pianist always returns to the creative cauldron of the acoustic trio format with his brilliant Northern California-raised compatriots, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard—a band widely considered to be one the most important, influential units in modern music.

CLARINET GIANTS featuring Don Byron, David Murray, Anat Cohen & Todd Marcus
NOV 12 THU • 8pm GRACE CATHEDRAL
Four of the jazz world’s great reed players gather in the sacred space of Grace Cathedral to put a spotlight on the legacy of the clarinet in modern music, featuring clarinet specialists Anat Cohen and Don Byron, as well as bass clarinet master Todd Marcus and one of the great living saxophone innovators, World Saxophone Quartet founder David Murray. With numerous DownBeat Critics’ Poll awards and seven consecutive JJA Clarinetist of the Year nods to her credit, Anat Cohen is easily the most exciting young player on the scene. Don Byron thrives as the iconoclastic wild card of jazz, interpreting a wildly diverse range of styles from funk-drenched R&B and klezmer to Duke Ellington. In addition to his work as founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet, GRAMMY-winning Oakland native David Murray is a true reed virtuoso whose prolific output encompasses nearly 100 albums as a leader and work with Henry Threadgill, Reggie Workman, McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. Baltimore-based Todd Marcus is a largely self-taught woodwind master whose 2012 quintet release, Inheritance, was named one of NPR’s top jazz albums of the year.

Since moving to the U.S. from her native Tel Aviv in 1996, Cohen has played everything from 1920s jazz to modern jazz, Brazilian choro, Argentine tango, Afro-Cuban jazz and classical music. Her latest release on Anzic Records, Luminosa, is a beguiling mixture of post-bop and the Brazilian choro tradition featuring her masterful quartet with keyboardist Jason Lindner, bassist Joe Martin and drummer Daniel Freedman joined by guest guitarist Romero Lubambo of the legendary Trio da Paz.

WILL BERNARD & BETH CUSTERNOV 14 SAT • 7 & 8:30pm JOE HENDERSON LAB
Two intrepid instrumentalists with deep Bay Area ties come together for an intimate evening of duets. Guitarist Will Bernard is a GRAMMY-nominated bandleader and founding member of all-star Bay Area jazz conglomerate T.J. Kirk (with Charlie Hunter and Scott Amendola) as well as Galactic drummer Stanton Moore’s trio. A Berkeley native transplanted to Brooklyn, Bernard was a vital part of saxophonist Peter Apfelbaum’s landmark world-jazz Hieroglyphics Ensemble and the guitarist’s own massively funky quartet, Motherbug. With a musical palette that blends jazz, blues, Afro-Caribbean and contemporary classical music, clarinet master Beth Custer is one of the most vital composers on the Bay Area scene, having recorded over 30 albums. First gaining attention in the early 1980s with Club Foot Orchestra, Custer pilots a series of bracing ensembles, including her clarinet quartet Clarinet Thing and the funk-powered Beth Custer Ensemble.

By the time the Long Beach-born Christopher moved to New Orleans in his early 20s, he already had a Louis Armstrong National Jazz Award under his belt, and soon found himself working with veteran trumpeter Al Hirt and members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band as well as New Orleans funk juggernaut Galactic. Following stints with the prestigious Jim Cullum Jazz band and leading his own Django à la Créole Gypsy swing band in Paris, Christopher has been a fixture with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra and leads his own ensembles, bringing a sound rooted in history that celebrates the musical legacy of the Crescent City.

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND
HUGH MASEKELA & LARRY WILLISNOV 27–28 fri–sat • 7:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM NOV 29 SUN • 4pm MINER AUDITORIUM
This evening brings a grand reunion of old friends, as South African trumpet icon Hugh Masekela and master jazz pianist Larry Willis perform in a rare duet setting.
Classmates at the Manhattan School of Music in the early 1960s, they were both fish out of water seeking their own musical paths. Encouraged by Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Harry Belafonte, Masekela combined his homeland’s music with hard bop and R&B, creating a hugely popular sound exemplified by his 1968 chart-topping hit “Grazing In the Grass.” Willis was studying theory and classical voice until Masekela encouraged him to focus on jazz.
He became a first-call accompanist, recording with everyone from Jackie McLean and Lee Morgan to Branford Marsalis and Roy Hargrove, while also making numerous excellent albums of his own. A few years ago they reunited in South Africa and ended up recording a four-disc duo project, Friends. Interpreting standards with warmth and boundless humanity, they offer a timeless take on ageless music.

One of country music’s enduring legends, GRAMMY-winning guitarist, fiddler and vocalist Merle Haggard has enjoyed a 50-year career as a giant of American songwriting and early originator of the California-bred take on country music called “the Bakersfield Sound.” For this special evening, the infamous writer of “Okie from Muskogee” performs a tribute to a pair of artists who profoundly affected his early life as a musician, fellow country music icon Johnny Cash and Western swing pioneer Bob Wills. An inmate at San Quentin prison in 1958, Haggard attended Cash’s first-ever prison performance, which was the inspiration for Haggard to finally clean up his act for good. The momentous career that followed saw Haggard inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1977 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1994. He was named a Kennedy Center honoree in 2010.

Lauded by The New York Times for his “ability to bend jazz rhythm into abstract art and then steer it back into a groove,” drummer Ali Jackson is best known for his long-term tenure as the backbone of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Playing drums at age 2, Jackson was first exposed to music by acclaimed bassist Ali Jackson Sr., a noted collaborator with John Coltrane and Yusef Lateef. While still in elementary school, the young drummer met future employer Marsalis—an event that planted a seed for Jackson’s future career—and studies with drum legends Max Roach and Elvin Jones sharpened his musical instincts. Jackson brings his swinging trio to the Joe Henderson Lab to perform material from his newest Sunnyside release, Amalgamations.

Celebrating their new release, The Bad Plus Joshua Redman, iconoclastic trio The Bad Plus and modern saxophone giant Joshua Redman present an evening of spontaneous invention. The Bad Plus earned a broad following among young music fans through poker-faced interpretations of beloved rock and pop tunes and endlessly creative originals by pianist Ethan Iverson, bassist Reid Anderson and drummer Dave King. Redman joined The Bad Plus for a European tour a few years back and quickly made himself part of their quirky Midwestern gestalt. He joins forces with the band again, though Anderson hesitates to call it a collaboration, noting that playing with the trio means “dealing with what the Bad Plus does, and Josh really got that and brought this incredible energy. It’s a lot of new personality for the music, but still The Bad Plus.”

AN APPALACHIAN CHRISTMAS
MARK O’CONNOR & FRIENDS with Carrie Rodriguez & Cia Cherryholmes
DEC 16 WED • 7:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM
Hailed as “one of the most talented and imaginative artists working in music” by the Los Angeles Times, multiple GRAMMY-winning violinist and composer Mark O’Connor has gained fame for his stunning virtuosity and collaborations with Yo Yo Ma, Béla Fleck and Chris Thile. A childhood musical prodigy, O’Connor has collaborated with a wildly diverse range of artists including jazz violin legend Stéphane Grappelli, southern rock stalwarts Dixie Dregs, and bluegrass mandolin master David Grisman.
“An Appalachian Christmas” features some of O’Connor’s favorite musicians from the country, bluegrass, and folk/pop worlds including Austin-born vocalist and violinist Carrie Rodriguez as well as the masterful banjoist Cia Cherryholmes. “Christmas time was a wondrous mixture of Christmas carols, fiddling, bluegrass, and other traditional American music,” says O’Connor of his upbringing. “And that is the spirit of An Appalachian Christmas.”

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMADEC 17–18 THU–FRI • 7:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM
More than a gospel institution, the Blind Boys of Alabama are a cultural force that has swept up musicians from every stylistic precinct, including Prince, Willie Nelson, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and Ben Harper. With five GRAMMY Awards (including one for lifetime achievement) and a sumptuous repertoire of soaring anthems, the group is a gospel standard bearer that has crossed over without adopting secular songs. Formed by a group of elementary students at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in the late 1930s, the quintet made a series of fine recordings in the post-war years that assured their place in the gospel pantheon. The Blind Boys have become known worldwide with celebrated albums including the star-studded Christmas release, Go Tell It on the Mountain, and their 2014 collaboration with blues great Taj Mahal, Talkin’ Christmas.

NEW AGE HOLIDAY
WINDHAM HILL WINTER SOLSTICE CONCERT with Barbara Higbie, Alex de Grassi & Lisa Lynne
DEC 19 SAT • 7 & 9:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM
Three captivating artists who rose to fame recording for the Windham Hill label come together to celebrate the holiday season. The dreamy Windham Hill “new age” image doesn’t do justice to the passionate singer, pianist, fiddler and guitarist Barbara Higbie, whose musical associates have included Bonnie Raitt, Bobby McFerrin and Carlos Santana, put together this Winter Solstice ensemble with GRAMMY-nominated guitarist Alex de Grassi and renowned Celtic harpist Lisa Lynne. de Grassi is a virtuoso musician whose 1978 Windham Hill debut, Turning: Turning Back, was cited by Acoustic Guitar magazine among the top 10 finger-style guitar recordings of all time, and Lynne was named one of Los Angeles magazine’s Top 50 Most Inspiring Women and described by the All Music Guide as “one of the top new age artists on the planet.”

HAPPY JOYOUS HANUKKAH
THE KLEZMATICSDEC 20 SUN • 4 & 7:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM
The GRAMMY-winning Jewish klezmer superstars return to celebrate the Festival of Light, performing seasonal music from their acclaimed holiday album Happy Joyous Hanukkah that set lyrics by the late Woody Guthrie to their delightful original compositions. The Klezmatics led the resurgence of the nearly forgotten klezmer tradition and contemporized it with an irreverent dose of punk rock attitude, and since their inception, have been one of most visible faces of today’s Yiddish culture. They have collaborated with violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman and Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner, and have released eleven diverse albums, including the GRAMMY-winning Wonder Wheel. The group’s most recent release is 2011’s historic document Live at Town Hall and the concurrently released documentary film The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground. Spend an evening this Hanukkah with most celebrated klezmer band in the land.

FUNKY NEW YEAR
MACEO PARKERDEC 31 THU • 8 & 10:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM JAN 1–3 FRI–SUN • 7:30pm MINER AUDITORIUM
Ring in the New Year with the king of the funky saxophone and one of the primary architects of modern R&B, Maceo Parker. The altoist made his mark as an essential voice in the powerhouse horns backing James Brown, contributing classic funk solos on some of the Godfather’s iconic hits. He went on to join George Clinton’s Parliament/Funkadelic during the ensemble’s most creative era and has contributed to albums and tours with artists including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Keith Richards, Dave Matthews Band and most extensively, Prince. Since the early 1990s, Parker has been spreading gospel of groove, a dedicated entertainer who believes in funk’s power to transform and heal. He brings his super-powered band back for an explosive New Year’s celebration, followed by a three-night residency.

Parker brought all this experience with him when he joined George Clinton’s enterprise, and later when he went out on the road with Prince. And those countless shows with Brown prepared him for the last 25 years, during which he has toured incessantly as the leader of his own band, spreading his funk gospel. Everybody wants his sound. He has recorded with Keith Richards, Living Colour, De La Soul, Ani DiFranco, the Dave Matthews Band, even with James Taylor.
I once drove up and down California with Parker and his band, which included trombonist Fred Wesley and saxophonist Alfred “Pee Wee” Ellis, his compatriots from Brown’s old group. And I can remember one night in San Diego when Parker lit up the bandstand on “Doing it to Death.” He stared straight down the length of his horn and raised his left eyebrow as he hit the first ripe note. He closed his eyes, angled his shoulders, crouched and jumped from foot to foot as he dodged through his staccato phrases, mixing in long fluid bebop lines and turning all these improvised melodies inside out and back onto themselves—all of this with that tart biting sound of his, of which Brown never could never get enough.
When Parker finished his solo, Wesley and Ellis cheered as if they had never heard him play before. Parker turned to his organist—Larry Goldings, then 22—and shouted, “Play that funk, baby. Get it in your neck.”
The crowd went nuts.
What the devil is it?
Maceo Parker figured that out a long time ago. ■

The outdoor artist terrace located at the back of the Lester Young Green Room on the SFJAZZ Center’s second floor is named “Space Is the Place Terrace” in honor of avant-garde jazz giant Sun Ra and the 1974
afrofuturist science fiction cult film he starred in, Space Is the Place. Produced by jazz musician and concert presenter Jim Newman, Space Is the Place was filmed primarily in Oakland and San Francisco, and concerns the salvation of black culture through space exploration, with Sun Ra’s music as the divine force that will save the people and usher them to a new future in outer space. ■
