8 DID YOU KNOW? SFJAZZ Members SAVE 10% when purchasing 10 or more tickets
DEAR MUSIC LOVERS
Thank you all—musicians, SFJAZZ
members, patrons, press—for giving
SFJAZZ the opportunity to joyously
celebrate the milestone of our 5th
Season in the SFJAZZ Center.
This is a proud moment for us all—a time to reflect on what has been achieved, but
more importantly to look forward and build on what has been accomplished.
As we neared the opening of the Center in January 2013, I was often asked how it
would feel to see SFJAZZ’s dream of a dedicated building for jazz finally come to life:
“You must be very proud.” The reply was, “Yes it will be a great accomplishment for
us, but I can give you a better answer in 3 to 5 years.” The creation of the SFJAZZ
Center was a risk—was it possible to create a cultural institution, for jazz, here in San
Francisco? It’s now time for the answer, and it looks like the gamble has worked out
and you, our audience, have made it work: SFJAZZ membership has quadrupled since
we broke ground—from 3,000 to over 12,000 members; 90% of all shows have sold
out; 35,000 students have been reached through our education programs; and over
500,000 tickets have been sold.
We all have built a community center that has been generously received by San
Franciscans and jazz fans, and we don’t intend to stand still. Our values of openness,
looking forward, presenting the highest levels of art, and community building are
the foundation for our growth. We will be announcing a number of new initiatives
in the coming 12 months. Following are three examples: a partnership with the
San Francisco Conservatory of Music, who is launching a jazz studies program for
the 2017-18 academic year with the SFJAZZ Collective as the core faculty; radio
broadcasts of “Live from the SFJAZZ Center” starting this fall on the French public
radio station France Musique, with more stations to follow; and we just became an
official “Curator” for Apple Music, providing our point of view on jazz.
We are proud to present to you Season 5! The schedule is full of “only-at-SFJAZZ”
experiences that we hope will inspire you. Thank you for your support. We are here
because of you, and we look forward to continuing to grow with you.

“ 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 FRIEND OF SFJAZZ
Welcome to SFJAZZ and the opening of
Season 5! Time certainly flies! Many of you
were here just a few seasons ago for the
SFJAZZ Center’s inaugural season in 2013,
and now our fifth anniversary is just around
the corner. Your support for the artists
who perform on our stages continues to be
phenomenal, and together we are able to
present this fabulous musical journey with
hundreds of musicians exploring the many
facets of jazz.
At the beginning of a new season we’re
again reminded how resolute we must be to keep the SFJAZZ experience at a level that
meets your expectations, as well as just how large a contingent of working artists and
teachers we work with in the course of nine months. With new artists coming into the Center
each week from near and far—literally from around the world—we have only a brief chance
to experience their interpretation of the music we all call jazz. SFJAZZ doesn’t have a single
orchestra for you to come to know, but rather each week, week by week, we hope you
engage with the best musicians and music presented anywhere.
Jazz, we believe, is constantly evolving, and we make every effort to not only present
a wide swath of music on our stages but to also bring jazz into the community through
classroom instruction, outreach, hands on master classes, a community band, and both
a High School All-Stars Big Band and Combo. You can find information on all of these
programs in this book.
The SFJAZZ experience is not only what you come to see, but it’s also how you participate.
We have improved our email communications and hope you have added
[email protected] to your address book. Every Tuesday we prepare and send the
news of the week— sometimes with added shows, discounts and special offers.
In other tech news, we are the first jazz organization to partner with Apple Music as a
Curator. Our page is loaded with exclusive playlists that allow you to take the SFJAZZ
experience with you, anywhere in the world.
We have also made improvements to our tech systems, and I encourage you to download
the SFJAZZ app that allows you to use your smartphone to select, purchase and attend
shows without ever turning a page or printing out a ticket. And speaking of your phone,
thank you for keeping the ringers off and phones out of sight during the performance. The
artists and your fellow audience members appreciate your courtesy!
Thank you for coming to the show, and I look forward to joining you for many more nights
of great jazz.

The SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director program was established to give today’s most innovative and influential musicians the chance to curate exclusive programming at the SFJAZZ Center, often featuring unprecedented collaborations between world–renowned artists. Every two years, SFJAZZ selects a new group of forward–thinking musicians to participate in the program. Past SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Directors include Bill Frisell, Jason Moran, Miguel Zenón, Regina Carter, John Santos, Esperanza Spalding, Terence Blanchard, Zakir Hussain, and Eric Harland. Notable world premieres have included pianist Moran’s pairing of jazz and live skateboarding, guitarist Bill Frisell’s
adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved featuring actor Tim Robbins, drummer Harland’s Voyager band paired with live video gamers, and an extensively revised presentation of trumpeter Terence Blanchard’s fully–staged opera Champion: An Opera in Jazz.
CHRISTIAN McBRIDE SEP 22–25At just 43, four–time GRAMMY winning bassist Christian McBride is widely regarded as the standard-bearer for jazz bassists in the 21st century. Among the more than 300 albums he’s appeared on are sessions by many of the most illustrious figures in jazz, including Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, and Pat Metheny, while also collaborating with artists as diverse as Sting and Questlove of The Roots. McBride has been the linchpin of various all–star projects, such as the Five Peace Band with John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Kenny Garrett and Vinnie Colaiuta, as well as the 2015 GRAMMY–lauded Chick Corea Trio with drummer Brian Blade. He’s led a procession of diverse groups since the mid-90s, most recently his Christian McBride Big Band, whose 2011 release The Good Feeling won that year’s GRAMMY for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. He has also found time to oversee jazz programming at Disney Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, along with being the host of NPR’s Jazz Night in America. As an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, McBride brings a kaleidoscopic musical vision and a restless drive for fresh avenues of expression.
VIJAY IYER FEB 9–12The brilliant and adventurous pianist and composer Vijay Iyer is a musician who stretches the boundaries of jazz. He was the recipient of the MacArthur Foundation’s “genius grant” in 2013 and the “quadruple 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, including Steve Coleman, Wadada Leo Smith, Oliver Lake, Ambrose Akinmusire, and John Zorn, among others, and is a member of the visionary collective Fieldwork. He has recorded 15 albums since his debut in 1995, including the acclaimed sessions Historicity (2009), Accelerando (2011), and Break Stuff (2014) featuring his telepathic trio of bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore. Iyer’s role as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director allows him to explore his creativity in various settings, curating evenings devoted to challenging new music and exciting collaborations.

“ It’s a great thrill and honor to be an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director. The number one tradition of the jazz community is to create—always to create new, fresh, wonderful music.”
— CHRISTIAN McBRIDE
MARY STALLINGS MAY 4–7A supremely soulful jazz singer, the San Francisco native has appeared alongside jazz greats including Cal Tjader, Dizzy Gillespie and the Count Basie Orchestra over her stellar career. With her supple sense of swing, blues–inflected phrasing, and gift for empathic interpretation, it’s easy to see why The New York Times declared her “perhaps the best jazz singer alive today.” Following tours with Gillespie, Basie and Billy Eckstine in the late 60s and early 70s, she effectively retired from music, but made a triumphant return in the 1990s. She has since made up for lost time, recording a dozen sessions for Concord, MAXJAZZ and High Note. Stallings has a long history with SFJAZZ, receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at our 2011 Gala and performing the opening song during the historic Opening Night concert in 2013. For her week as Resident Artistic Director, Stallings presents music from Feelin’ Good, a night devoted to Brazilian music, and collaborations in both an intimate duo setting and with the SFJAZZ High School All–Stars.
ROSANNE CASH MAY 18–21More than a country music icon, Rosanne Cash is America’s foremost musical woman of letters, who returns after her triumphant series of concerts premiering the songs from her latest Blue Note release, The River and The Thread. She has landed nearly a dozen #1 country hit singles while earning 13 GRAMMY nominations, culminating in three GRAMMY wins for The River & The Thread, which made “Best of Year” lists in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, and USA Today. Leading publications including The Oxford-American and New York Magazine have published her essays and fiction, and she authored a volume of short stories, Bodies of Water, as well as a fascinating memoir, Composed. For her week, Cash presents a series of concerts in collaboration with fellow stars Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris—a project that has only occurred once before while Cash was an Artist-in-Residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015.
13
“ SFJAZZ has this expansive vision for artists that really allows me to experiment, and to do some really fun things.”
—ROSANNE CASH
“ I’m really excited to come back to the Bay Area as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director. I’m going to bring a lot of my friends and colleagues, some fantastic musicians...musically it will cover quite a range.”
—VIJAY IYER
“ It truly is an honor to be a Resident Artistic Director for SFJAZZ, an institution that has done a great service for this art form. The most wonderful level of art is being able to share something very dear—my music. I am excited to be able to share my musical journey in such a wonderful place.”
—MARY STALLINGS

CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRISTIAN
23CONVERSATIONS CONTINUED ON PAGE 38
C hristian McBride once recorded an album of duets with a batch of his favorite musicians. He called it Conversations with Christian, which would make a good title for his musical life.
He has five different bands and a non-stop career as a sideman, and when he performs, a lusty musical conversation tends to break out because his playing projects such confidence and curiosity. He offers an invitation to the other players: “Surprise me!” The conversation grows. And when he puts down his bass and talks to the audience, the stories keep coming: McBride is one of the best raconteurs in the business.
His speaking voice is rootsy and resonant, much like the sound of his bass. You’ve probably heard that voice: McBride hosts shows on SiriusXM satellite radio (The Lowdown: Conversations with Christian) and National Public Radio (Jazz Night in America), where he is a frequent contributor. He is the new artistic director of the Newport Jazz Festival, hand-picked by founder George Wein to move the tradition forward. He recently led a Smithsonian tribute to Ray Charles at the White
House, where President Obama “had his head bobbing to the music, eyes closed, like a real jazz lover,” says McBride, 44, who has emerged as an unofficial ambassador-at-large for the jazz
world, probably because he takes such clear pleasure in the music.
Debuting as a Resident Artistic Director at SFJAZZ this fall, McBride is careful not to make too big a deal of his growing presence. Yes, he gets described as a steward for the tradition. But the five-time GRAMMY-winner—who can pin you to the wall with his swing, and has played with everyone from Freddie Hubbard to James Brown and Sting—says, “I’m only a steward for openness and curiosity and independent thought. I don’t hold a torch or a flag up for any particular style of jazz. I just would love for more of the general listening public to be curious enough to listen to things that aren’t on the charts or on TV.”
He follows up the thought: “But I never want to browbeat anyone for not knowing jazz. The only
thing I can do is present jazz in a way that’s interesting or friendly enough, so people will say, `Oh, what’s happening over here? I

think I like that.’ We’ll make the dish as tasty as possible, but if they don’t eat all the food, you can’t shove it down their throats.”
McBRIDE HAS PREPARED A BANQUET FOR HIS AUDIENCES AT SFJAZZ—FOUR CONCERTS, FOUR COMPLEMENTARY DISHES.
SEP 22: A Christian McBride Situation is what he calls his “electric, experimental, DJ, house kind of” band. It came together at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 2007, when members of his scheduled group—a straight-ahead, acoustic unit—had to cancel. “Uh-oh,” said his manager. “Looks like we have a Christian McBride situation.” No problem. The bassist grabbed some of his friends who also happened to be at the festival—keyboardist Patrice Rushen, turntablist DJ Logic—and created a new group. Those same players (with McBride on electric bass) will perform in San Francisco along with other “Situation” regulars: saxophonist Ron Blake, vocalist Alyson Williams and turntablist Jahi Sundance.
SEP 23: New Jawn Quartet The West Coast premiere of McBride’s newest band, a piano-less, acoustic quartet. After spending years alongside pianists (Chick Corea, Geoffrey Keezer, Peter Martin, Christian Sands) and a guitarist or two (e.g. Pat Metheny), the bassist decided it “would be nice to play in a group where there are no chords, where I can be the only one responsible for the harmony. With a group like that, you have so many possibilities.” This one includes Marcus Strickland, one of the ascendant saxophonists in jazz; drum genius Nasheet Waits; and young trumpeter Josh Evans whose mentors, McBride notes, include the great saxophonists Jackie McLean and Billy Harper, as well as drummer Rashied Ali. (By the way, “Jawn” is a noun from McBride’s hometown, Philadelphia. In the lingo of most other cities, “jawn” becomes “joint.”)
SEP 24: Christian McBride Big Band With 18 members, it’s a mean machine. “If it were financially possible to work with the big band all the time, that probably could be my main group,” he says, “because it combines all of my different loves into one unit: writing, arranging, playing. You can do some small-group things inside the big band, and then you have the entertainment factor. Now I know,” he says with a chuckle, “that jazz musicians have been trained to frown upon the idea that they’re entertainers. To have people outside the family enjoy your music must mean you’re doing something artistically undignified, or not with integrity.” He laughs at the notion, and suggests you get ready for a good time. Danny Ray, James Brown’s master of ceremonies for 45 years, will be the emcee.
SEP 25: Duets with Dee Dee Bridgewater McBride says the singer is his “partner in crime.” Come hear a couple of virtuosos who are liable to do anything—get free, or get down in the groove. For a taste of what’s in the offing, try out their recording of the Isley Brothers’ “It’s Your Thing.” (It’s on McBride’s Conversations with Christian CD, from 2011.)
As we were saying: Four shows, four variations on Christian McBride. What does it add up to?
McBride doesn’t hesitate: “There’s a lot of great music out there, a lot of great inflections within the same language— and I’d like to learn ’em all.” ■

AMY TAN, TERRENCE BLANCHARD & DENISE YOUNG SMITH

The most accomplished vibraphonist and composer to emerge in the latter half of the 20th Century, Bobby redefined the role of the instrument in modern jazz, bringing new levels of technical mastery and harmonic
sophistication that had never been heard before. Inspired by Modern Jazz Quartet vibraphonist Milt Jackson, he made his recording debut with pianist Les McCann in 1961 and began an unprecedented 24-year association with the Blue Note label on saxophonist Jackie McLean’s 1964 landmark One Step Beyond. From the crucial harmonic structures and pointillistic stabs of color on Eric Dolphy’s avant-garde masterpiece Out To Lunch and his soloistic fire on Joe Henderson’s epochal Mode For Joe to the soul jazz grease of Donald Byrd’s Ethiopian Knights, Bobby made indelible contributions to over 250 albums during his Blue Note tenure, and led 23 recordings that introduced the world to his indelible compositions “Little B’s Poem,” “Bouquet,” “Components,” “Montara,” and others.
Since moving to the Bay Area in the late 1960s, he developed fruitful musical partnerships with both saxophonist Harold Land and pianist McCoy Tyner, and released a string of sessions on the Blue Note, Columbia, Landmark, and Kind of Blue labels. In 2010, the National Endowment for the Arts named Bobby an NEA Jazz Master for his lifetime of contributions to the art form —the highest honor the U.S. bestows on jazz musicians. A great friend and an artist with a long history performing on SFJAZZ stages, beginning with a performance at the very first Jazz in the City Festival in 1983, Bobby was a founding member of the SFJAZZ Collective; composing, arranging, and performing with the band from its inception in 2004 through 2007. He was the honoree at the 2010 SFJAZZ Gala, was a featured speaker at the groundbreaking event for the SFJAZZ Center in 2012, and performed during the historic Opening Night concert in January, 2013.
He is survived by wife Rosemary, sons Teddy and Barry, and grandchildren Ruby Rose and Bobby James. Bobby will be greatly missed. We are honored to have known him. ■
