Kicking off on Wednesday July 25th and spreading over the next five days, the visionary folks from Sunset Promotions and Alistair Monroe bring you what has been lovingly referred to as the "Soul of San Francisco." The festival draws thousands to San Francisco's most hallwoed neighborhood and boasts an abundance of free programming, making it San Francisco's foremost urban music festival. In its thirteenth year, this independently owned and produced festival presents a collection of musicians who continue to push jazz into the future, while honoring its glorious past. Each show defines a theme, and then presents artists who represent its past, present, and future. |

Wilson's "trumpet breathes fiery emotion...as her quintet lights up each selection with the solemn majesty of a unit inspired."- Cadence Magazine  Sarah Wilson © Lenny Gonzalez San Francisco's Intersection for the Arts' Jazz At Intersection series continues on Tuesday July 10 at 8 PM with the Sarah Wilson Quintet. Sarah Wilson's music has consistently attracted some of the greatest players in the New York jazz scene. Her 2006 CD, Music For An Imaginary Play, released on Evander Music, features Sarah on trumpet and vocals, co-producer Steve Cardenas (Paul Motian, Charlie Haden, Joey Baron, Slide Hampton) on electric guitar, Peck Allmond (M'Shell N'Degeocello, Don Cherry, Oliver Lake) on tenor sax, Jerome Harris (Sonny Rollins, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Frisell) on bass, and Kenny Wollesen (Norah Jones, Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Tom Waits) on drums. The mission of Jazz At Intersection is to create a place where jazz is the priority, where we are able to promote dialogue about the art form, where we explore the jazz language with our community, and where emerging and experienced composers are encouraged to experiment with new forms. This is our 91st Jazz At Intersection performance since the series' inception in 1999. There is a sliding scale admission of $12-$20. |

 Thursday, July 5th to Sunday, July 8th Yoshis presents Kevin Eubanks with Bill Pierce, Smitty Smith, Doc Murdock and Gerry Etkins. Eubanks, one of the most prolific jazz guitarists in the country, has been a key member of "The Tonight Show" band since the program premiered in May 1992, and he wrote the show’s closing theme song, "Kevin’s Country."
Guitarist Kevin Eubanks was officially named music director of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in April 1995 after filling in since January 30, 1995 for the band’s original director, saxophonist Branford Marsalis. In addition to his television work, Kevin Eubanks has released Live At Bradley’s, the 12th album in his 14-year recording career (not including a greatest hits collection), on which he collaborated with James Williams (piano) and "The Tonight Show’s" Robert Hurst (bass) in a spontaneous, nowhere-to-hide trio format. The album was produced by Eubanks and Michael Cuscuan from a May 21, 1994 performance.
Eubanks also scored the HBO Pictures presentation, "Rebound," directed by "ER’s" Eriq LaSalle and composed the score for the five-part PBS documentary series, "Black Westerners," which traces the story for African-American leaders, heroes and others who lived in the old West. |
