“As much or more collective talent, firepower, and critical acclaim than any other jazz ensemble going.” —DownBeat

An award-winning ensemble of eight all-star performers, the SFJAZZ Collective takes a truly unique approach to connecting jazz’s past, present, and future. Each year, the collective creates and performs eight new works and eight new arrangements of tunes by an honored artist. In the footsteps of honorees such as Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, the group celebrates the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way and Sly & the Family Stone’s Stand!, serving up fresh arrangements of these classics alongside new compositions from this acclaimed Bay Area ensemble.
