SFJAZZ Collective: The Music of Stevie Wonder

The SFJAZZ Collectie is an all-star jazz ensemble comprising eight of the leading performer/composers at work in jazz today. Its approach to repertoire is unique and innovative: each year, this San Francisco based ensemble performs an entirely new list of works, consisting of arrangements of a jazz master’s works, but this year they focus on the work of an artist outside the jazz tradition: STEVIE WONDER whose classic albums fused the soul music of Detroit with elements of R&B, jazz and reggae into a singular vision respected by critics and musicians of all genres. The SFJazz Collective virtuoso octet is: ANTONIO HART, alto sax; MARK TURNER, tenor sax; AVISHAI COHEN, trumpet; ROBIN EUBANKS, trombone; STEFON HARRIS, vibes; EDWARD SIMON, piano; MATT PENMAN, bass; and ERIC HARLAN, drums.

“The best overall live jazz set this writer has heard in the New Millennium.” – AllAboutJazz.com
