Gini Wilson and San Francisco ChamberJazz Quartet

Jazz in the Neighborhood is proud to present the San Francisco ChamberJazz Quartet at our First Sundays series at CCMV. The SFCJQ presents original compositions which couple the exciting intensity of classical music with the passionate improvisation of jazz. These highly lyrical and richly varied concerts range from bittersweet ballads to lush tangos to rowdy blues.  "Legendary in the Bay Area for her irreverent sense of humor as well as her mix of numerous jazz-related styles…pianist Gini Wilson ( The Duchess) co-founded this ensemble with reed virtuoso Steve Heckman…” All Music Guide  “Is there a more pure, sensual and tasteful sound than these four great jazz artists create?  The group resonates with …melodic clarity you can only hear to appreciate!” The Musicians Ombudsman. Gini Wilson on piano, Steve Heckman on saxophone, clarinet and flute, Pat Klobas on bass and Ron Marabuto on drums. Youth Showcase will be pianist Nathan Bickart.
