SFJAZZ celebrates a half-century of the iconic label, with nights in Miner Auditorium and the Joe Henderson Lab featuring ECM’s greatest artists. Named with initials standing for “Edition of Contemporary Music,” founder Manfred Eicher’s Munich-based imprint has represented the leading edge of innovation for five decades and over 1600 individual releases, blurring lines between genres and championing both established masters and young visionaries.
Bassist Larry Grenadier is among the most respected and in-demand instrumentalists in jazz, a 25-year veteran of pianist Brad Mehldau’s epochal trio, and an artist with a lengthy connection to SFJAZZ. He performs an evening of material from his 2019 ECM solo bass album The Gleaners.
