SFJAZZ Center - Miner Auditorium / 201 Franklin St. SF
5/26-29/22 (evenings)
Guest: Renee Rosnes / Pianist and Composer, Artemis Musical Director
David talks with Renee Rosnes, a founding member of the SFJAZZ Collective. Rosnes has assembled a true all-star super band of modern jazz masters, each a major bandleader and composer. Named for the Olympian goddess of exploration, the hunt, and the wild, this superlative sextet is an international affair, with members hailing from the U.S., Canada, Israel, and Japan. Each member a bandleader and composer individually – come see and hear them on the same stage together.
