Described as “contemporary jazz’s premier all-star band” by The New York Times, SFJAZZ Contemporary is celebrating its 10th season by performing a wide selection of material chosen and arranged by the members, from new compositions to timeless classics and everything in between. 

An all-star ensemble comprising the finest performer/composers at work in jazz today, the SFJAZZ Collective was conceived to create fresh arrangements of works by modern masters and newly commissioned pieces by each member of the band. Through this pioneering approach—simultaneously honoring music’s greatest figures while championing jazz’s up-to-the-minute directions—the collective has embodied SFJAZZ’s commitment to jazz as a dynamic, ever-evolving art form.
