FALL 2017 SEP–OCT

You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors. Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help.

The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth CycleSM to find those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you.

DEAR MUSIC LOVERS

Welcome to our 6th Season at the

SFJAZZ Center. We conceived the

Center as a community gathering

place for artists and audiences to

come together in an environment that

encourages engagement and dialogue

—musician to musician, audience

member to audience member, and musician to audience. When that connection

occurs we can be witness to something that moves us, something that makes us feel

better for the experience—what I’ve heard described as a “transcendent moment.”

Since we opened the Center in January 2013, we have been fortunate to experience

a number of those indelible moments. This upcoming season provides many such

opportunities, and many where SFJAZZ is the only place to see them.

September alone is a festival unto itself. We open in grand fashion with National

Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater who pays homage to three

of her heroes, and the city of her birth, over four nights: Ella Fitzgerald, Horace Silver,

Josephine Baker and the music and musicians of Memphis. The following week offers

four very personal dialogues between true master musicians, under the heading “Art

of the Duo”: Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Pedrito Matininez; John Scofield and Jon Cleary;

Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau; and Zakir Hussain and Joshua Redman.

Closing the month is Spain’s premiere flamenco guitarist, Vicente Amigo (at Herbst

Theatre for two nights) and Ravi Coltrane, who has curated a week entitled “The Coltrane Legacy” with four different concerts featuring: Ravi’s new quartet; Pharoah

Sanders, the return of Ravi’s reimagining of A Love Supreme (from the A Love

Supreme 25th Anniversary celebration of two years ago); and Ravi in a power trio

with Jack DeJohnette and Matthew Garrison.

October is equally formidable, opening with SFJAZZ Resident Artist Director

Christian McBride and closing with our own SFJAZZ Collective. Phillip Glass’s score

to the 1931 film classic Dracula accompanied live by Glass and Kronos Quartet ends

the month on Halloween night at Oakland’s appropriately Art Deco palace, the

Paramount Theatre.

See you at the Center, and I look forward to the deeper dialogue with you all,

Randall Kline

SFJAZZ Founder & Executive Artistic Director

P.S. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to SFJAZZ Members, whose ranks have more than

quadrupled since groundbreaking – from 3,000 to over 14,000 – and your annual

support of our commitment to providing the best musical and educational experiences.

You are the fans that keep SFJAZZ vibrant, and inspire us to seek out opportunities for,

what noted jazz writer Whitney Balliett called “the sound of surprise.”

DEAR SFJAZZ PATRONYou may not realize it, but being here

tonight and enjoying tonight’s concert

is the culmination of years of effort to

bring the best jazz to San Francisco

for all to enjoy. Your experiences in

the Robert N. Miner Auditorium and

Joe Henderson Lab depend on the

cooperation of hundreds of musicians,

professionals and, of course, your

energy and effort to make them

successful and memorable.

The concerts over the next several

weeks will have you leaping continents

with artists from all over the world, sharing old styles and new, all of it curated for

listeners like you. Truly, it’s your willingness to participate that makes an SFJAZZ

Season special.

As we head toward the anniversary of the opening of the SFJAZZ Center in January,

there is no better time to note all that you have made possible through your SFJAZZ

memberships, donations, and ticket purchases. When you arrive at Franklin and

Fell Streets, you’re saying yes to the commitment of great music, new artists, jazz

education in schools, lifelong learning classes, and the highly acclaimed SFJAZZ High

School All-Stars (among other notable activities and achievements).

There is not enough room on this page to explore it all with you, but I encourage you

to check out “On the Corner,” the SFJAZZ blog where you will find context for the

concerts and rich playlists that you’ll want to save and play. We are so grateful that

live music is a part of your life and budget. We know that you can’t be here every

week (though a few of you may!) to experience the once-in-a-lifetime improvisations

on our stages, so the SFJAZZ staff and artists pull together music for you to enjoy

whenever you’re away from the Center.

Come to a show, come to a class and always take us with you! It’s going to be a great

season.

Sincerely,

Donald W. Derheim

SFJAZZ Chief Executive Officer

P.S. Have you noticed the special Fado performances in late October? The Joe

Henderson Lab will be transformed into a Portuguese Tarverna for eight sets with the

fabulous Mariza (see p. 39).

“ 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

CHRISTIAN McBRIDE | OCT 5–8Five-time GRAMMY-winning bassist Christian McBride is widely regarded as the standard-bearer for jazz bassists in the 21st century and is among the most recorded artists of his generation. Among the more than 300 albums on which he’s appeared are sessions by many of the most illustrious figures in jazz, including Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson and Pat Metheny, while also collaborating with artists as diverse as Kathleen Battle, 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 in the studio and on tour since the mid-90s, most recently his hard-swinging Inside Straight quintet featuring SFJAZZ Collective vibraphonist Warren Wolf, and the Christian McBride Big Band, whose 2011 release The Good Feeling won that year’s GRAMMY for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. As an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, McBride brings a kaleidoscopic musical vision and a restless drive for fresh avenues of expression.

VIJAY IYER | JAN 18–21The brilliant and adventurous pianist and composer Vijay Iyer is a musician who stretches the boundaries of jazz, but has long reached beyond jazz’s vocabulary. An artist possessed of a relentlessly searching intellect and formidable technique, 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 Pianist of the Year, Album of the Year, Group of the Year, and Jazz Artist of the Year (the last two also awarded in 2015). 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 Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts at Harvard University. 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, from piano duet to sextet.

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.

MARY STALLINGS | MAR 29–APR 1A supremely soulful jazz singer, San Francisco native Mary Stallings 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 to raise her daughter, but made a triumphant return in the 1990s with a series of superb releases accompanied by piano master Gene Harris’ quartet. Since her return to music, she has since made up for lost time, recording a dozen sessions for Concord, MAXJAZZ and High Note, culminating in her latest High Note album, Feelin’ Good. 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. Her week as Resident Artistic Director includes collaboration with Russell Malone, the Bill Charlap Trio, and the SFJAZZ Collective.

ROSANNE CASH | MAY 3–6More than a country music icon, Rosanne Cash is America’s foremost musical woman of letters, a singularly literate artist whose poignant vocals turn every song into a revelatory tale. Her career hit a milestone with the 2009 release of The List, an album distilled from a list of 100 essential country songs given to her at 18 by her father, the legendary Johnny Cash. Cash has landed nearly a dozen #1 country hit singles while earning 13 GRAMMY nominations, culminating in three GRAMMY wins for her latest Blue Note release, The River & The Thread. The album made the “Best of Year” lists in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, Huffington Post, and USA Today. Cash’s creativity isn’t confined to the bandstand. Leading publications such as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Oxford-American and New York Magazine have published her essays, columns and fiction. She’s also generated an acclaimed volume of short stories, Bodies of Water, and a fascinating memoir, Composed. Her week as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director is an exclusive tribute to her father with guitarist and producer Ry Cooder.

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.

100 YEARS OF MONK

SFJAZZ COLLECTIVEOCT 28 sat | 11am

Thelonious Monk is one of the most widely recorded composers in American jazz. On the hundredth anniversary of his birth, we celebrate a true jazz icon with our own SFJAZZ Collective, who delight us with their fresh takes on Monk’s music.

KORET DISCOVER JAZZJazz history, live performance, classic audio, and exciting video make Discover Jazz the most distinctive jazz appreciation course available for adults. Each series offers an in-depth look at the life and work of some of jazz music’s most enduring legends, and includes stellar live performances by critically-acclaimed guest artists, rich multimedia presentations featuring historic recordings, and engaging Q&A.

THE MUSIC OF MONK OCT 18–NOV 8 wednesdays | 7-8:30pm*Thelonious Monk was not only a principle architect of bebop, his music pushed well beyond the boundaries of genre and style, leaving us a legacy of some of jazz music’s most recorded works. For this series, we will focus on many of his most indelible compositions, and explore his often complex and intriguing life. We are thrilled to welcome some of the most iconic pianists and educators to share their expertise and inspiration on Monk’s legacy.

OCT 25 | The Composer w/Ed Simon

NOV 1 | The Collaborator w/Patrick Wolff

INSPIRING, INFORMATIVE, INTERACTIVE

Pianist Jason Moran is 42 years old and has been listening to Thelonious Monk’s music since he was 13, when Monk became “an addiction, an obsession, a fixation.” It happened fast. A hip-hop fanatic, he was “a kid going through puberty and I was always

searching for how I could be different from my friends. Luckily, Monk grabbed my ear,” Moran says. “His songs held out their hand to me.”

Moran starts singing some of the tunes: “Little Rootie Tootie” with its bumpety-bump train rhythms, and then “Four in One,” with its whirling corkscrew of a melody—somehow still intensely sing-able. As he demonstrates, Moran breaks into laughter.

“But there was so much more to digest than just his music,” he goes on. “What also grabbed my attention were his style and his aesthetic—his beard and his goatee and his album covers. There was his whole persona—how he danced at the

“AN ADDICTION, AN OBSESSION,

A FIXATION. HIS SONGS HELD

OUT THEIR HAND TO ME.”

piano, how he lay his hands on the keys and attacked a note. How did he do that?”

Monk became a template for something beyond Monk, a model for making art that matters. And as SFJAZZ celebrates the 100th anniversary of Monk’s birth with a series of October concerts, Moran will join in, showing why it is that Monk’s music remains open and fresh, radical and relevant, continually lending itself to reinvention.

Born October 10, 1917, Monk made music that invites you in, and then teases you with its mystery. How did he do that? How did he create tunes that are instantly sing-able—children “get” Monk—yet operate as the purest distillations of mood and emotion: the joy, the bounce, the freedom, the struggle and pain. Monk was “reckoning with the tension and pressure that America puts on people of color,” Moran says.

He is still investigating the “how” of it—and still responding to the flow of Monk’s phrasing, his “addiction to rhythm and how he played that rhythm, more like a drum.” It’s why hip-hop producers sample Monk: they like his hooks, they go for what Moran calls “his lope—the way a person walks, a gait. Sometimes if I listen to his songs, I move my neck in the same way I would if I were listening to Wu-Tang Clan.”

Four Monk interpreters will lead the centenary series, starting with pianist Danilo Perez and his trio (Oct. 13). They will re-explore Perez’s Panamonk album from 1996, demonstrating the snug fit between Monk’s rhythmic pulse and Afro-Cuban clave: “Monk embodies the dance,” says Perez who grew up in Panama. “He is the father. He is the key to the Afro-American sound.”

Next comes Moran (Oct. 14), bringing back In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall, a co-commission from SFJAZZ that uses a mini-big

band and multi-media to reimagine Monk’s 1959 concert. After nearly a decade of performances—In My Mind premiered in 2007—it has “a bit of a patina on it,” says Moran, who wants the evening to carry a sense of history, of Monk’s roots. It will include an audio tape of Monk talking, pacing the wooden floor of the Manhattan loft where he rehearsed for the Town Hall concert—and breaking into a tap dance that spells out the melody to “Little Rootie Tootie,” a composition inspired by the trains Monk watched as a child in North Carolina.

Pianist-arranger John Beasley and his 16-piece MONK’estra (Oct. 15) will delve into their new album (MONK’estra, Volume 2), which extends Monk’s tunes to include rap and Gil Evans-like atmospherics. It zeros in on some of those hooky Monk riffs: One of Beasley’s tricks is to extract a signature riff from a Monk tune and have the band stretch out over it, spinning variations on the riff—and dropping all of that on top of, say, a slow hip-hop groove.

Finally, the SFJAZZ Collective (two concerts on Oct. 28, including a family matinee) will dust off some of the arrangements from its 2007 album of Monk tunes. The recording includes an arrangement by saxophonist Miguel Zenon of “San Francisco Holiday” that is memorable, setting Monk’s melody over a buoyant, Puerto Rican bomba bass line and then flipping into a double-time bridge where the band evokes the bustle of traffic in midtown Manhattan. The music surprises, yet feels like Monk, who spent much of his life in New York neighborhoods where Latin music was in the air. As much as his friends Dizzy Gillespie or Charlie Parker, Monk absorbed those sounds.

Each of the artists interviewed for this article broke into song while discussing Monk—there is no resisting those melodies. And there is no getting around the double-challenge presented by Monk’s music: Wanting to understand and penetrate the specific musical language that Monk created, but also—when interpreting his music—stepping away from it enough to create something original.

Monk helps out with the latter challenge, according to Edward Simon, the SFJAZZ Collective’s pianist. He says Monk’s compositions—exercises in concision, often fitting on a single page—contain “a genetic code.” The melody, harmony, rhythm and voice leading have a kind of Bach-like perfection, yet

(as does Bach) Monk takes unexpected turns: “He gives you all the raw material you need to come up with a beautiful arrangement or interpretation. If you have the imagination, something special is likely to come out. That’s what I mean by `genetic code’—his tunes already have a built-in beauty.”

And built-in rhythm: Whether by chance or design, the rhythms of Monk’s melodies have a way of lining up with the clave, the rhythmic pattern that pervades Afro-Cuban music. That would explain why so many of Monk’s tunes have been successfully re-vamped along Afro-Cuban lines, Simon says.

“Look, Monk is super rhythmic,” Beasley agrees,

“so it makes sense that he would work on any kind of groove as long as it’s a swinging groove, whether it’s Latin or funk or hip-hop or whatever it is. You take one of his tunes, like ‘Skippy’—the 32-bar form has this sort of shout chorus already built in. It sounds very much to me like Jimmy Lunceford, like a riff band.”

It’s been half a century since Beasley discovered Monk’s music—he was nine or ten years old and the tunes were “Nutty” and “Work”—but he sounds as captivated as ever: “His 32-bar or blues-form tunes are chock

full of all these little ditties to be expanded upon—almost like classical music where you take a theme and run it through a set of variations. With Monk, you have these little funky riffs, these thematic chunks that you can isolate and stretch out over time,” he says, explaining his arranging trick, “and they still sound like Monk.”

THE UNKNOWN, THE FUTURE.”

A century after his birth, Monk is still relevant and still a fascination. Monk is different. He is full of paradox. Sean Jones, the trumpeter in the SFJAZZ Collective, remembers how older musicians used to warn him not to get too cocky when performing Monk’s catchy little tunes: “It was like the easiest thing in the world to sing, the hardest thing in the world to play.”

As for Perez, it’s been a couple of decades since he started peeling back the layers of the onion with Monk. First he heard the power of Monk’s swing, and then Monk’s rhythmic connection to New Orleans, Cuba, Haiti and Panama. Monk was tapped into the African source—like something ancient, offering rhythmic possibilities that Perez continues to study.

Monk humbles him, he says.

Sitting by his piano as he talks over the phone, he plays something simple, a B7 chord, letting it ring out as Monk might have, then cutting it off to let one note peek through, just slightly.

He laughs.

“It took me a while to get that,” he says. With Monk, even a B7 chord is an enigma, carrying emotions that “bring a tear to my eye,” Perez says. “He brought the mystery into the music. I really feel like there is this edge of things that he gets to—the unknown, the future. Even if you’ve heard a piece of his music many times, there’s always questions.” ■
