DEAR FRIENDS
OF SFJAZZ
On Opening Night, January 23, 2013,
we launched the SFJAZZ Center with
two weeks of once-in-a-lifetime concerts
featuring the greatest jazz stars and top
jazz musicians from the Bay Area. It has
been a spectacular two years since that
opening: Over 250,000 people have
visited our two venues, and about half of
those audiences were visiting the Center for the first time; SFJAZZ Membership grew from
3,000 at groundbreaking to over 11,000 as of this writing; we completed our $64 million
dollar capital campaign, and received an addition challenge gift of $3 million to fund and
endowment for our own SFJAZZ Collective; and we hosted President Obama, who spoke
here in November of 2013.
January marks our 2nd Anniversary in the SFJAZZ Center and is also Member Appreciation
Month, with a number of special offerings for our members. We celebrate the New Year
(12/31-1/4) in the spirit of James Brown with his former music director Maceo Parker.
John Coltrane’s influence is felt with two giants: Pharoah Sanders and McCoy Tyner. Tenor
saxophone giant and Coltrane collaborator Sanders performs for four nights (1/8-11), and
to celebrate our second anniversary, the legendary Tyner (a member of Coltrane’s classic
quartet and who played for the opening of the Center) with fellow piano greats Geri Allen
and Kenny Barron (1/18).
SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director Eric Harland closes January (1/19–2/1) in four different
settings over four nights ranging from his Voyager septet to the red-hot funk ensemble
Snarky Puppy to an interactive performance combining live music with professional video
gamers in a head-to-head Madden NFL football tournament on Super Bowl Sunday.
Valentine’s Day week brings a number of vocalists for a “Week of Love” with Tiffany
Austin (2/12), Patricia Barber (2/12), Mary Stallings (2/13), drummer Terri Lyne
Carrington’s Mosaic Project with Lizz Wright (2/14), and Jane Monheit (2/15). More
vocalists in February include Tuck & Patti (2/5-8), Kurt Elling (2/21-22) and blues/roots
icon Taj Mahal (2/26–3/1).
In March, “Global Sounds” features three consecutive nights of artists from around the
world, all making their SFJAZZ premieres: Portuguese fado legend Camané (3/19), IndoCanadian vocalist Kiran Ahluwalia (3/20), and the bhangra brass phenoms Red Baraat
(3/21). An “ECM Festival” (3/26–29) closes the month with artists from around the world
associated with the influential record label including Chris Potter (U.S.), Vijay Iyer (U.S.),
Egberto Gismonti (Brazil) and Tomasz Stanko (Poland).
Thank you for making the SFJAZZ Center what we believe to be the most vibrant place to
see music anywhere. And thank you for a making our 2nd Anniversary a joyous one.
See you at the Center!
Sincerely,
Randall Kline
SFJAZZ Founder and Executive Artistic Director

After decades of presenting concerts
throughout the Bay Area, the doors to the
SFJAZZ Center have been open for two
years and we couldn’t be more pleased to
share our commitment to the art form with
such a generous community.
Creating the building was challenging, but
getting here is easy—BART, MUNI, taxis,
car services, bicycles and automobiles
all serve SFJAZZ well. Once you’re in the
lobby you’ll note that we have kept it open
and clean so you can find your friends, check out the coming attractions on the video
wall, buy some music, pick up your tickets and still have time to enjoy a libation from our
partner restaurant South.

Speaking of tickets, if you ordered yours online you can use our mobile 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.
In the lobbies you’ll find a mix of ushers and volunteers that will assist you in finding your
seat, answer questions you may have about directions or intermission, and offer you the
program you have in your hands. Our house staff works to make your experience the
best it can be, so please ask them for help and maybe even ask them what they’ve been
listening to lately.
If your tickets put you on second floor or the terraces, you’ll make your way up the grand
staircase to the second floor that features two original tile murals created by Sandow
Birk and Elyse Pignolet. They depict landmark events in jazz history and a fictionalized
cityscape made up of influential and important jazz venues from across the United States
and San Francisco.
The more often you visit SFJAZZ, the deeper your personal connections to the music will
be, and the better appreciation you’ll have for the richness that is, literally, built into the
walls of your home for jazz.
I hope to see you again soon at one many concerts, classes and events we’ve curated for
your jazz experience at the Center,

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.
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 bandleader, 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 mindboggling array of musical trails. His programming as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director
showcases a cross section of his creative pursuits.

Trumpeter Terence Blanchard is jazz’s foremost Renaissance man. A savvy bandleader,
celebrated film composer, brilliant jazz writer and influential educator, the GRAMMYwinning 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

Bassist, 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 bandleader that
she has truly made her mark, releasing a string of albums including the blockbusters

C
oming up in the world of
Latin jazz, “I was usually
the only female musician,”
says Rebeca Mauleón, the
veteran pianist, composer
and arranger whose two-fisted playing has
fired up the music of Tito Puente, Carlos
Santana, Joe Henderson and others. The
rarity of women instrumentalists in her
field wasn’t really an issue for Mauleón
until she got involved in music education
and became more attuned to the gender
gap in jazz—and more passionate about
raising the general awareness of “the
contributions of women to the art form.”
That’s what Mauleón, SFJAZZ’s Director
of Education, is doing throughout March,
Women’s History Month, in a rich series
of programs that celebrate women in
jazz and blues and encourage young
women and girls with a desire to play this
improvised music.
In addition to lectures and performances
showcasing the music of pioneering
singers like Bessie Smith and Alberta
Hunter, and influential but largely unsung
instrumentalists and composers like

ABOUT SFJAZZ
Launched in 2004,
the SFJAZZ Collective is
an all-star, award-winning
jazz ensemble comprising
eight of the finest
performers/composers
in jazz today.
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 awardwinning San Francisco architect Mark
Cavagnero, who worked with acoustician
14
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 sightlines
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.”

ach season, the SFJAZZ

residency during which the
octet prepares new repertoire and

master classes and workshops. The
SFJAZZ Collective tours nationally
and records new material each season,
both original compositions and fresh
arrangements of classic material by
jazz’s greatest masters. Their new release,

FUNKY NEW YEAR
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 to SFJAZZ for an explosive New Year’s celebration,
followed by a rare three-night residency.

WISDOM THROUGH MUSIC
A living legend who embodies the spiritual foundation of avant-garde jazz, tenor saxophonist
Pharoah Sanders is a singular player who came of age in John Coltrane’s roiling free-jazz
groups of the mid-1960s. He has shaped his own sonic world that encompasses the primal
wails and fierce energy of late Coltrane and the stomping R&B of his Little Rock youth, Asian
modes and Moroccan grooves, while balancing his explosive improvisations with gentle
ballads of sublime simplicity. His saxophone sound is unforgettable—deep, raw, and laden
with fervent feeling and serene beauty. Sanders’ recordings include the classic “The Creator
Has a Master Plan,” from his 1969 album Karma and “Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt” from
1966’s Tauhid. Don’t miss the artist Ornette Coleman once called “probably the best tenor
player in the world.”
Please see SFJAZZ.org for updated personnel.

J O E H E N D E R S O N L A B legends: Duke Ellington, Charles

ECHOES WITH A FRIEND
Jazz giant McCoy Tyner recorded his
1974 solo piano classic Echoes of a
Friend to celebrate his years with the
4 & 7:00 PM
John Coltrane Quartet and as homage
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M to his great mentor. Now forty years
later, “Echoes With A Friend” celebrates McCoy’s music and
artistry in an inter-generational concert featuring pianists Geri
Allen and Kenny Barron. An enormous presence whose music has
helped shape the evolution of jazz since the early 1960s, Tyner has
written more than a dozen bona fide jazz standards and released
dozens of enduringly vital albums. Carrying that influence
forward, each performer will reveal McCoy’s impact through solo
performances and with McCoy’s masterful rhythm section. This
once-in-a-lifetime event commemorates the second anniversary
of the SFJAZZ Center’s grand opening celebration, a historic week
of performances that featured multiple nights of McCoy’s artistry.

TRUMPET SUPERSTAR
The world’s biggest-selling jazz instrumentalist, Chris Botti is a subtle trumpeter with a
sumptuous clarion sound, fluent phrasing and sense of space—a masterly musician equally at
home in the realms of jazz and pop. He honed his craft performing and recording with stars
like Frank Sinatra, Buddy Rich, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Sting, who was one the stellar
artists on Botti’s chart-topping 2009 album Live in Boston. Botti’s 2012 CD Impressions,
a ballad collection pairing him artists as various as Vince Gill, Herbie Hancock and Mark
Knopfler, won the GRAMMY for Best Pop Instrumental Album. In concert, the melodious
trumpeter is as likely to play the second movement of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez”—
played so beautifully by Miles on Sketches of Spain—as he is Al Green’s grooving “Let’s Stay
Together” or a leanly romantic “When I Fall in Love.”

debut of his TEJ trio, featuring two
7:30 PM
virtuoso musicians with deep ties to
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M the Bay Area, keyboardist Taylor Eigsti
and guitarist Julian Lage, in an exciting performance combining
music and digital video. A musician of protean power and
sublime taste, Harland turns every performance into a revelatory
journey, and he’s in perfect company with Lage and Eigsti, who
have played together since they were audaciously precocious
adolescents on the Bay Area scene. The TEJ Trio provides both
players with a larger sonic palette than usual, with Eigsti doubling
on keyboards and Lage adding an array of effects to his warm
guitar tone. The TEJ Trio is a step into the unknown, a vehicle
for searching out unheard textures, extended forms and
mysterious harmonies.

R&B Performance. Led by bassist and composer Michael League,
the Brooklyn-based band grew out of the celebrated jazz program
at the University of North Texas. They’ve built a wildly devoted
following by playing fresh groove music that smartly balances
composition and improvisation, mixing rich jazz harmonies, raw
funk and ripping electric guitar. For this show, they’ll be playing
Harland’s compositions for the SFJAZZ Collective as well as

focuses on Eric Harland’s stimulating
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M work as a composer. More than a
consummate sideman, Harland is the rhythmic catalyst for many
of the definitive jazz recordings of the past 15 years, a groove
muse whose tidal-force trap work has inspired Greg Osby, Terence
Blanchard, Charles Lloyd, McCoy Tyner, Dave Holland, and many
other masters. What’s less known is that Harland is also an
ambitious composer with a gift for designing extended forms,
tunes that provide an ideal forum for volatile group interaction. His
2010 debut as a leader, Voyager: Live By Night, is a quintet session
gleaned from a series of live performances, and the recently
released Vipassana features a new set of revelatory originals.
For the first-ever performance
combining the improvisation of

7:30 PM
Voyager band and members of the

League Gaming’s best players go head-to-head in a Madden NFL

an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, Harland wanted to bring
together his passions for music, sports and gaming, and this
show presents a unique opportunity for fans of all three to come
together as the musicians accompany and react to the action
projected on the Miner Auditorium screen. One of the greatest

If there’s such a thing as a typical
jazz vocalist, Patricia Barber doesn’t
fit the profile. What distinguishes
7:30 PM
the celebrated singer and pianist
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M from virtually all of her peers is the
keen intelligence of her original material. Quirky, insistently
independent and emotionally cool, she’s attracted a dedicated
following with her rigorous songwriting craft and sly, harmonically
deft piano work. She won a Guggenheim Fellowship Award in
2003, making her the first singer-songwriter to ever receive the
prestigious grant. Her 2013 Concord Jazz debut, Smash, made a
number of Best-of-Year lists in the jazz press. A savvy bandleader
who has honed a tight, telegraphic style with her quartet, Barber
is known for transforming unlikely pop tunes into sleek jazz
numbers, reinventing Cole Porter, and constantly reworking her
impressive book of originals.

The New York Times declared her “perhaps the best jazz singer
alive today.” With nearly 30 years between releases under her own
name, she has since made up for lost time, enchanting audiences
worldwide and recording eleven sessions for Concord, MAXJAZZ
and High Note. Her latest High Note album, But Beautiful, features

7 & 9:30 PM
Bluebird, her tribute to the music of
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M one of her greatest influences, the
legendary singer and actress Judy Garland. An self-assured artist
possessing a remarkably versatile instrument, Monheit made a
splash during her debut at the Thelonious Monk Institute’s 1998
International Vocal Competition. The stylistic breadth of her work
shows a love for the Great American Songbook, the Brazilian pop
of Ivan Lins and the hits of Paul Simon, Judy Collins, and others,
so a celebration of the multi-faceted Garland is a match made in
heaven. In Monheit’s words: “I want to get away from the drama,
and celebrate what we all loved about Judy—the immense joy she
brought through song.”

luminary Scott Hamilton was at the

Alden helped revive the sophisticated sound of small group swing,
ushering in the “young lion” jazz renaissance. This concert is a
rare and welcome return for an artist whose enormous impact

CAMANÉ
FADO MASTER
Camané is one of Portugal’s greatest
proponents and interpreters of fado
(fate), the passionate and melancholy
7:30 PM
music originally sung by early 19th
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M century sailors in the brothels
and bars of Lisbon. One of the few prominent male singers in
the genre whose popularity has surged with the emergence
of contemporary artists like Ana Moura and Mariza, Camané
established his career singing in fado clubs and theatrical revues
in his late teens. With the esteemed singer-songwriter José Mário
Branco as his producer, he captured the improvisational energy
of the fado club on his 1995 acclaimed debut recording on EMI,
Uma Noite de Fados (A Night of Fados). Camané toured Europe
and recorded such popular albums as Na Linda da Vida, which
showcased his increasingly personal interpretations of fado songs
as well as his own compositions.

PAN-GLOBAL VOCALIST
Winner of two JUNO awards, the

7:30 PM
is a modern proponent of the great
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M vocal traditions of India and Pakistan,
which she honors while exploring bold new territories. An
artist possessed of a transcendent instrument and an ability to
seamlessly integrate influences from around the globe, Ahluwalia
has made a specialty of interpreting ghazals, the sensual Indian
poetry of unrequited love and passion for life that have been
beloved throughout South Asia and the Islamic world since the
10th century. The musically omnivorous singer has made a career
of expanding the Indian vocal tradition beyond musical and
geographic borders. Her latest release, Aam Zameen: Common
Ground, features jazz guitarist Rez Abbasi and superstar Tuareg
blues bands Tinariwen and Terakraft.

WOMEN IN JAZZ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13
SFJAZZ isn’t waiting ‘til March to present the crackling drummer
Terri Lyne Carrington and the latest incarnation of her Mosaic
Project. That’s the all-female ensemble that won a Grammy
in 2012 for a recording featuring a stellar cast of singers and
instrumentalists—among them Diane Reeves and Nona Hendryx,
bassist Esperanza Spalding and trumpeter Ingrid Jensen—
playing original contemporary tunes and re-arranged classics
merging jazz and R&B. On February 14, Carrington, who cut
her teeth playing with masters like Herbie Hancock and Wayne
Shorter, performs that music with a mostly female band that
includes Hendryx and Jensen as well as the gospel-soaked
singer Lizz Wright, pianist-keyboardist Rachel Z (another
Shorter alumnus) and alto saxophonist Tia Fuller, a Berklee
College of Music instructor who tours in Beyonce’s band and has
worked with jazz lights like Jon Faddis and Rufus Reid.
Due partly to the success of these and other female jazz
musicians in recent years, and to the efforts of institutions
like Berklee and the Manhattan School of Music that have
nurtured them, the tired old notion that women should play
what Mauleón ironically calls “ladylike instruments”—piano,
flute, violin—has faded. Things have changed. But not enough,
she says. “The jazz world hasn’t caught up with the classical
world in terms of advocacy and opportunity for women
instrumentalists. The jazz paradigm is a little behind the times
in terms of gender equality.”
SFJAZZ hopes to help remedy that with programs like the one
March 28, “SFJAZZ Girls Day,” a free daylong workshop for female
musicians ages 13–18 led by SFJAZZ guest faculty including
bassist Ruth Davies, keyboardist Victoria Theodore, and drummer
Beth Goodfellow. They’ll talk about improvisation and self-
Rebeca Mauleón
advocacy, “how to become the best musician you can be, and
make gender a non-issue.”
SFJAZZ’s February calendar features a batch of fine female
singers, including Patti Cathcart of Tuck & Patti February 7 and
8. On the 12th, cool Patricia Barber performs in Miner Auditorium
while Tiffany Austin sings the music of Nina Simone in the Joe
Henderson Lab. The sublime Mary Stallings performs with pianist
Eric Reed’s trio February 13. And Jane Monheit celebrates the
music of Judy Garland on the 15th. The night before belongs to
Carrington’s bracing Mosaic Project.
The month’s concerts and events “highlight all these amazing
women who are playing at an optimal level, and reminds people
they’re here,” Mauleón says. If it takes an all-female band or a
special women’s issue of Downbeat to draw attention to these
superior musicians, so be it for now. “We need to get to the point
where we won’t have to have all-women ensembles or magazine
issues. For me, that’s the future.”

Potter has shared the studio and bandstand with a staggering
list of major artists, releasing his star-studded debut at the age of
21. Over the years, he has moved deftly from acoustic post-bop
to the fringes of experimentalism, and formed the funk-fueled
Underground in 1995 with guitarist Wayne Krantz, keyboardist
Craig Taborn and drummer Nate Smith. Since the release of the
band’s 2009 crowd-funded CD Ultrahang, Potter has signed to
Manfred Eicher’s ECM Records and toured the world with guitar
god Pat Metheny’s Unity Band project. He returns now to the
Underground, giving the music an exciting new dimension.

M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M of the MacArthur Foundation’s “Genius

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 and has recorded 15 albums since his debut in
1995, including the acclaimed sessions Historicity (2009) and
Accelerando (2011) featuring his telepathic trio of bassist Stephan
Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore. The band is preparing to
release their new album on ECM Records. If you wonder what the

EGBERTO GISMONTI
BRAZILIAN JAZZ GIANT
In the vast shimmering universe of
Brazilian music, Egberto Gismonti
is a galaxy unto himself. A fearless
7:30 PM
musical searcher, Gismonti draws
M I N E R A U D I T O R I U M on a multitude of folkloric styles,
creating music that’s both supremely
sophisticated and bracingly rustic. Ever since the premiere of
his breakthrough composition “O Sonho” in 1968 at the careermaking International Song Festival, Gismonti has been recognized
as a visionary. He earned a vast international following in the
mid-1970s through his work for ECM. Starting with Dança das
Cabeças, his award-winning 1977 duo album with percussionist
Naná Vasconcelos, he released a series of charged encounters
with artists including Jan Garbarek, Colin Walcott, Charlie
Haden, and Ralph Towner. His best-selling album, 1979’s Solo, is
a breathtaking session on which he moves gracefully between
multiple instruments. He revisits the solo setting for this intimate
performance at SFJAZZ.

Gerald Cleaver, the core band featured on Stanko’s newest ECM

Thomas Morgan. No matter what the project, Stanko creates a

the ECM record label. Even at his most abstract he infuses each
note with tenderness and sorrow, a master storyteller who never
