Celebrating Gershwin — Sold out!
Celebrating Gershwin
The first week of performances following the Grand Opening is devoted to local artists who have helped make San Francisco a rich and diverse hotspot for jazz creation. These musicians have established themselves as truly world-class performers, and we’re honored to have them grace the stage at the SFJAZZ Center.
The music of the iconic George Gershwin is honored on Friday, with a who’s-who of great Bay Area vocalists on hand, including local jazz luminaries Paula West, Kim Nalley and Jamie Davis as well as Bay Area music legend Dan Hicks. Backing this impressive list of singing talent is the esteemed Marcus Shelby Quartet, featuring the bass-playing leader, saxophonist Howard Wiley, pianist Joe Gilman and drummer Akira Tana.
