SF JAZZ Collective at The Wallis

The SFJAZZ Collective is an all-star jazz ensemble comprising eight of the finest jazz performer/composers at work today. Launched in 2004 by SFJAZZ, the Collective has quickly become one of the most exciting and acclaimed groups on the American and international jazz scenes.  As soloists, composers and bandleaders, they represent all that is happening now in jazz. More than master instrumentalists, each member possesses a totally individual creative voice, working collectively to express a unified musical identity. Hailing from Puerto Rico, New York, Venezuela, Philadelphia, New Zealand and Israel, the Collective's multi-cultural lineup mirrors the explosion of jazz talent around the world. SFJZZ Collective’s debut at The Wallis will pay tribute to legendary saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson, with a repertoire that spans Henderson's illustrious career from the early Blue Note years through his resurgence on Verve Records in the 1990s.
