SUMMARY:KENNY BARRON
DESCRIPTION:Starting his week as Resident Artistic Director in grand style\, Kenny Barron performs with his ironclad working trio with bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa and drummer Johnathan Blake. Kitagawa’s 27-year association with Barron and Blake’s nearly twenty-year tenure have made them the finest working piano trio in jazz\, a unit that has developed a singular depth of communication as captured on Barron’s 2016 Impulse! album Book of Intuition — a sterling session nominated for “Best Instrumental Jazz Recording” at the 2016 GRAMMY Awards. \n\n\nCalled “one of the top jazz pianists in the world” by The Los Angeles Times\, Kenny Barron is a 2010 NEA Jazz Master and eleven-time GRAMMY nominee who helped define and extend the jazz tradition since his work with Dizzy Gillespie in the early ‘60s catapulted him into the spotlight. Extensive associations with Freddie Hubbard\, Yusef Lateef\, Stan Getz\, James Moody and Ron Carter built his peerless reputation as a sideman\, and he has recorded over 50 albums as a bandleader over his five-decade career. A seven-time recipient of Best Pianst by the Jazz Journalists Association\, Barron leads an ironclad trio with bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa and drummer Johnathan Blake\, and regularly performs as a soloist and settings from duo to big band.

SUMMARY:KENNY BARRON: BRAZILIAN EXPLORATIONS
DESCRIPTION:Called “one of the top jazz pianists in the world” by The Los Angeles Times\, Kenny Barron is a 2010 NEA Jazz Master and eleven-time GRAMMY nominee who helped define and extend the jazz tradition since his work with Dizzy Gillespie in the early ‘60s catapulted him into the spotlight.

SUMMARY:CHUCHO VALDÉS & IRAKERE 50
DESCRIPTION:The most influential figure in modern Afro-Cuban jazz for more than half a century\, virtuoso pianist\, composer and arranger Chucho Valdés returns with Irakere 50\, the new iteration of the legendary band that changed the course of Latin music in the 1970s and 80s. \n\n\nThe son of Cuban pianist Bebo Valdés\, the winner of seven GRAMMYs and four Latin GRAMMY Awards joined Armando Romeu’s celebrated Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music in 1967\, a time when the communist government still considered American jazz anti-revolutionary. He was already recognized as the most formidable pianist of his generation when he launched Irakere in 1973 with a phenomenal cast that included saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera and trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. \nDiscovered and introduced internationally by Dizzy Gillespie\, the band’s unprecedented synthesis of folkloric Afro-Cuban rhythms\, sacred drums\, rock\, funk\, R&B\, and jazz opened up vast new frontiers\, and helped pave the way for the pervasively popular dance music known as timba. Over the ensuing years\, Valdés has concentrated on his career as a solo artist\, recording 25 albums and co-writing the landmark 2018 book Decoding Afro-Cuban Jazz in collaboration with SFJAZZ Director of Education Rebeca Mauleón. \nA springboard from Valdes’ GRAMMY-winning Afro-Cuban Messengers band\, Irakare 50 showcases a blazing new generation of Cuban talent. \nThursday ~ Saturday Performance | 7:30pm \nSunday Performance | 7:00pm

SUMMARY:DANIELLE WERTZ
DESCRIPTION:“A masterful ballad interpreter” (NYC Jazz Record)\, the sublime vocalist and 2015 Thelonious Monk competition finalist performs music from her newest Outside in Music album\, Other Side. An artist on the rise\, the New York City-based singer and composer weaves together elements of jazz\, folk\, and the use of her voice as an instrumental texture to create an intimate and personal musical world. \n\n\nA finalist in both the Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Vocal Competition\, Wertz released her 2017 debut album Intertwined in collaboration with Israeli pianist Tal Cohen — a sparkling collection of standards and newer compositions which was ranked #4 on Capital Bop‘s list of “Best DC Jazz Albums of 2017.” In addition to her solo career\, Wertz is an avid collaborator\, featured on recording projects alongside Elena Pinderhughes\, Braxton Cook\, Justin Rock\, and Ambrose Akinmusire\, among others. \nWith Other Side\, Wertz has made a quantum leap as a composer and conceptualist\, braving essential questions of the human experience with nuanced expression and deep feeling. Born of the introspection and examination that the pandemic forced upon us all\, the album pairs her own lyrical compositions based in personal stories with carefully chosen covers like the Rogers and Hart chestnut “Spring is Here\,” imbued with the longing and anger created by a world in lockdown.

SUMMARY:DIANNE REEVES
DESCRIPTION:“The most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan\, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday\,” (NY Times) GRAMMY winner and 2018 NEA Jazz Master Dianne Reeves is jazz’s greatest living vocalist — an artist who embodies the music’s enduring values of elegance\, class\, and improvisational poise. \n\n\nHer string of GRAMMYs includes an unprecedented three consecutive Best Jazz Vocal Performance awards and another for her contributions to the soundtrack of George Clooney’s film Good Night and Good Luck. She’s a performer with a gift for imbuing any performance space with the intimacy of a living room\, and her 2015 Concord Records debut\, Beautiful Life\, won the GRAMMY for Best Jazz Vocal Album\, melding jazz with elements of R&B\, pop and Latin music. \nWhether putting a personal stamp on lilting Brazilian standards\, exploring contemporary fair by Ani DiFranco and Stevie Nicks\, interpreting American Songbook classics by the Gershwin\, Porter\, and Berlin\, or breathing fresh life into holiday chestnuts\, Dianne Reeves always gets to the heart of a song. More than two generations have passed since jazz stars took on aristocratic titles\, otherwise Dianne Reeves would surely be known as The Queen. \nFrida & Saturday Performance | 7:30pm \nSunday Performance | 7:00pm
