ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE
San Francisco Performances’ new jazz artist-in-residence Sean Jones takes the stage. The former lead trumpeter for Wynton Marsalis’ galvanizing Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra takes an expansive stance for jazz, viewing it as more than music. His work is not only the stuff of art but a vital and vibrant part of a larger social, philosophical and spiritual fabric.
BIO
As we've all been told, birds do it, bees do it but anyone who's actually gone to the trouble of falling in love knows that it's a lot more complicated when humans get involved. As has become evident over the course of his career, Sean Jones is particularly adept at plumbing complex emotional depths through his trumpet playing and composition. His sixth album, 2011's No Need For Words, sums up his overall approach: this is music that cuts straight to the emotional heart.
Jones has performed with his own groups, both nationally and internationally, and was lead trumpeter for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis from 2004-2010. Jones has performed at music venues and jazz festivals such as the Monterey Jazz Festival, Detroit International Jazz Festival and Montreal International Jazz Festival; and with stars like Marcus Miller, Tia Fuller, Gerald Wilson, Joe Lovano, Tom Harrell, Jon Faddis, Jimmy Heath and Frank Foster. Jones has been named Rising Star by Downbeat Magazine, Best New Artist in the JazzTimes Magazine Reader's Poll, and was nominated Trumpeter of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association.
