SJZ Collective & Yakiv Tsvietinskyi Play the Music of Roy Hargrove
Fri, Mar 3
8pm Pacific / SJZ Break Room
SJZ Collective, composed of some of the Bay Area’s most prominent jazz voices, join forces with Ukrainian trumpeter Yakiv Tsvietinsky to pay tribute to the late Roy Hargrove. Since all band members double as composers and arrangers, count on a night of thoughtfully re-imagined material from the catalog of a boundary-breaking modern jazz heavyweight gone too soon.

Utilizing her keen ear and sharp musicianship, Madison McFerrin constructs delicate, evocative soundscapes in real time. Building songs one loop at a time, her vocal phrasings and stacked harmonies reveal a musical master at work.
