Info for New Works & Classics Reimagined (Live from SFJAZZ Center 2022)

Recorded during the SFJAZZ Collective’s four-night residency in October 2022 on the Miner Auditorium stage at the SFJAZZ Center, documents new works from the all-star ensemble. Additionally, the album includes fresh new approaches to timeless classics, like a two-part medley of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless The Child” and Earth, Wind & Fire’s “That’s The Way Of The World,” and Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We’ll All Be Free.”

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 a modern master 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.
