Founded by SFJAZZ in 2004, the SFJAZZ Collective is an all-star ensemble and composer's workshop that represents what's happening now in jazz, celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2024.
Fresh off their international tour dates in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Melbourne, the the supergroup will perform a landmark Anniversary program that both honors the history of the group and looks ahead to its future. In tribute the artists whose work has been honored by the Collective over 20 years as well as the world-class composers who have been a part of the ensemble, the band will revisit past original compositions and arrangements from its innovative repertoire including Horace Silver's "Song For My Father", Miles Davis' "In A Silent Way", Thelonious Monk's "San Francisco Holiday", a tribute to Chick Corea and much more. Additionally, the band will emphasize the spirit of its name by collectively composing a continuous new 7-part suite dedicated to and inspired by its history.
The new suite blends together elements of Latin jazz, dynamic percussion patterns, soaring horn solos, and swingin' grooves with engaging melodies, rhythm variations and sudden changes of pace that leave plenty of room for expansive improvisations.
Since the beginning, the Collective's mission has been to perform newly commissioned pieces by each member and fresh arrangements of works by modern masters. Through this pioneering approach, simultaneously honoring music's greatest figures while championing jazz's up-to-the-minute directions, the SFJAZZ Collective embodies SFJAZZ's commitment to jazz as a living, ever-relevant art form.
