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.
First coming to prominence as a prodigious young pianist with bassist Avishai Cohen, Shai Maestro performs material from his 2018 ECM debut The Dream Thief with his sinuous trio. Beginning his classical training at five, the Israeli-born Maestro found a passion in jazz and received numerous scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Fund before embarking on a pivotal five-week Summer Performance Program at Boston's Berklee College of Music.
