Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra
MON, JAN 25 | 7:30PM Jackson Hall
Led by consummate trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and comprised of 15 of the finest soloists, ensemble players and arrangers, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra has been hailed as “the greatest large jazz ensemble working today” by the Chicago Tribune. Over his many cherished appearances at the Mondavi Center, Marsalis has compelled and charmed audiences while presenting the full vigor and vision of America’s music, as interpreted by some of our finest living musicians. The Orchestra will draw from a repertoire that includes classic Blue Note Records selections and tunes made famous by John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Gerry Mulligan, John Lewis and more.

SFJAZZ Collective
Music of Joni Mitchell
WED, APR 21 | 7:30PM Jackson Hall
—The New York Times on SFJAZZ Collective
For this highly anticipated Mondavi Center return, the SFJAZZ Collective’s focus will be on the iconic singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, whose albums from the mid-1970s famously featured jazz artists like Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock and a collaboration with Charles Mingus. Founded by SFJAZZ in 2004, the Collective is a leaderless group and a democratic composer’s workshop that represents what’s happening now in jazz. The Collective’s mission each year is to perform fresh arrangements of works by a modern master and newly commissioned pieces by each Collective member.
