SUMMARY:CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE TRIO
DESCRIPTION:Bass genius Christian McBride honors his mentor and greatest inspiration\, the legendary Ray Brown\, with an all-star trio of Ray Brown Trio alumni — pianist Benny Green and drummer Gregory Hutchinson. \nA major figure in the development of bebop and hard bop in the 40s and 50s\, Brown was among the most prolific and versatile bassists in jazz history who gained fame through his notable associations with Oscar Peterson\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Dizzy Gillespie. \nHe led a series of remarkable trios in the 1990s and 2000s featuring Green and Hutchinson\, whose recordings for the Telarc label stand as benchmarks for the time-honored format. \nIn addition to his own lengthy histories with both Green and Hutchinson\, McBride appeared on Brown’s live 1997 bass summit release SuperBass and 2001 follow-up SuperBass 2 (along with fellow legend John Clayton). He pays tribute to the master with this special performance. \nCover: $45.00 ~ $135.00

SUMMARY:BRANFORD MARSALIS & DIANNE REEVES
DESCRIPTION:Saxophone great and NEA Jazz Master Branford Marsalis and his superlative quartet are joined by fellow NEA Jazz Master and jazz’s greatest vocalist\, Dianne Reeves\, for a week devoted to the immortal music of John Coltrane\, in honor of the centennial of his birth. \nSaxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz master\, three-time Grammy Award winner\, and Tony and EMMY Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead\, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After more than three decades of existence with minimal personnel changes\, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. \nThe Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves will release a tribute album which revisits Coltrane’s seminal 1963 collaboration with Johnny Hartman. Originally recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in March of 1963\, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman was a sublime showcase for Coltrane\, McCoy Tyner\, Jimmy Garrison\, and Elvin Jones\, who gave remarkable depth and sensitivity to a selection of standards including Irving Berlin’s “They Say It’s Wonderful\,” Guy Wood’s “My One and Only Love\,” and the definitive version of Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life.” Bringing the songs to life was the distinctive\, evocative baritone of crooner Johnny Hartman\, who was the only vocalist Coltrane ever collaborated with. \nInterpreting the songs with her own singular gifts\, Reeves is a five-time GRAMMY winner who is accurately called “The most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan\, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday” (NY Times). She is an artist who embodies the music’s enduring values of elegance\, class\, and improvisational poise\, with an innate feel for swing. \nPersonnel:\nBranford Marsalis ~ tenor saxophone\nDianne Reeves ~ vocals\nJoey Calderazzo ~ piano\nEric Revis ~ bass\nJustin Faulkner ~ drums \nTickets: $50.00 ~ $165.00 \nThursday: Sold Out | Friday: Tickets Available | Saturday: Almost Sold Out | Sunday: Tickets Available \nShowtimes: Thursday ~ Saturday @ 7:30pm | Sunday: 3:00pm

SUMMARY:RAVI COLTRANE
DESCRIPTION:Just days before John Coltrane would have turned 100 his oldest surviving son\, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane\, presents a blazing young band to mark the milestone. \nWhile Ravi spent the first quarter century of his career focusing on acquiring a diverse array of experience as a sideman and then honing his own lustrous\, harmonically ambiguous compositions\, he’s taken up the family mantle in recent years. With a variety of ensembles\, projects and initiatives on and off the bandstand\, he’s championed the legacy of his parents (including with his 2025 stint as an SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director). \nFor this celebration he performs with trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson\, a longtime collaborator who graduated from Berkeley High and spent years touring and recording with alto sax great and MBASE conceptualist Steve Coleman. A teenage prodigy\, Israeli pianist/keyboardist Gadi Lehavi made his Village Vanguard debut with Ravi at 15. Now 30\, he’s more than lived up to his enormous potential\, playing with consummate technique and capacious imagination. Powering the quartet is Bay Area-reared drum sensation Elé Howell\, 28\, a supremely musical accompanist who gained national attention when Coltrane started hiring him in 2021 for various projects\, including Cosmic Music: Revisiting the Music of John and Alice Coltrane. Though John Coltrane ascended in 1967 at the age of 40\, his presence continues to illuminate new directors for exploration. \nTickets: $60.00 ~ $95.00
