The San Francisco
Jazz Collective (SFJAZZ Collective), a group of eight of the most indemand
artists in jazz, boasts a roster that changes annually. The players set aside
their numerous other high-profile projects and devote all their time and energy
to the Collective, touring for multiple weeks each year. Some will know Stefon
Harris from other Staller Center dates—he and his band Blackout played the venue
in 2006, and he was with the Kenny Barron Quintet in 2004.
In the past, the musicians in the
Collective have played the music of Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Herbie
Hancock, Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter. In 2010- 2011, Horace Silver is the
jazz luminary they celebrate. Some of the most enduring tunes in jazz are by
composer and piano man Horace Silver—“Song for my Father,” “Que Pasa,” and
“Sister Sadie”—earthy, soulful, swinging and full of the blues.

The award-winning all-star Collective roster
includes veteran alto saxophonist and MacArthur grantee Miguel Zenón, tenor
saxophonist Mark Turner, vibraphonist Stefon Harris,
pianist and 2010 Guggenheim Fellow Edward
Simon, bassist Matt Penman, and drummer Eric Harland. For October performances,
trumpeter Ambrose
Akinmusire
and trombonist Luis Bonilla will be subbing
for current members Avishai Cohen
and Robin Eubanks, respectively.
This Collective lineup is a perfect balance among
founding members, multi-year veterans and exciting additions. They will perform
new arrangements of the work of
legendary pianist Horace Silver and fresh original compositions by each
of
the eight Collective members.
