SFJAZZ Center, San Francisco, California, USA • ArtsEarth
This edition of Terence Blanchard’s UpSwing series focuses on a pair of superb award-winning saxophonists, composers, and bandleaders, Tia Fuller and Grace Kelly.
A masterful saxophonist and composer possessing “the brilliance of a diamond” (DownBeat), Tia Fuller has divided her remarkable career into two full-time halves, as an accomplished and uncompromising bandleader and as a collaborator to the stars.
Called “the future of jazz” by NPR, 25-year-old saxophonist and vocalist Grace Kelly is a seven-time winner of the Downbeat Critics Poll and has risen to be a major jazz star, appearing with Jon Batiste and Stay Human on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and on concert stages around the world. A soulful soloist with a warm, burnished tone and a preternatural gift for composition and arrangement, Kelly began her musical journey while still a youth, writing her first song at seven and releasing her 2005 debut album, Dreaming, at 12. Innumerable accolades and collaborations followed that auspicious start, as the young saxophonist appeared with the Boston Pops at age 14 and performed by Wynton Marsalis’ request at the inauguration festivities for President Obama, sharing in the stage with jazz icon Dave Brubeck. She’s led nine full-length albums including GRACEfulLEE in collaboration with NEA Jazz Master Lee Konitz and Man With the Hat with fellow NEA honoree Phil Woods, and participated in the Kennedy Center’s 15th Annual Mary Lou Williams Women In Jazz Festival as part of an all-star band including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Esperanza Spalding, Geri Allen, and Terri Lyne Carrington. Kelly performs in support of her new album, Trying To Figure It Out, which was voted the #2 Jazz Album of the Year in DownBeat’s 2016 Readers Poll.

The Berlin-born Ndegeocello cut her teeth on Washington D.C.’s explosive go-go circuit in the 1980s and was one of the first artists signed to Madonna’s Maverick Records label, which released her landmark neo soul album Plantation Lullabies in 1993.

Praised by The New York Times as “one of the most admired pianists of his generation,” Inon Barnatan joins New Century for a program of music written to distract from life’s challenges. Experience C.P.E. Bach’s dramatic third keyboard concerto, blending melancholy with bursts of impeccable brilliance. Rich with iconic musical allusions, Dmitri Shostakovich’s delightfully madcap first piano concerto also features a solo trumpet, performed by Brandon Ridenour from the American Brass Quintet, which adds punctuation to the vibrant score. Béla Bartók’s Divertimento, with its jubilant Hungarian folk rhythms, reflects a sunny interlude in Switzerland before the composer’s relocation to the U.S.

A genre swap, a shocking character twist, or a wild new plot element will turn everything upside down. This is an improv adventure, where the story evolves in ways no one (including the improvisers) can predict. Buckle up, because if we don’t know what’s coming next, neither do you.

Multiple Voices is the first public artwork in the United States by Eva Schlegel, the Austria-based artist known for engineering steel and mirrors into spectacular, architectonic sculptures. Working with materials similar to the arts center’s new building, Schlegel created a series of polished and translucent surfaces that catch and reflect light and parts of the surrounding environment, encouraging visitors to gather, play and learn. Poems by Steve Bellin-Oka, Kimberly Blaeser, and Joy Harjo appear in blurred form on glass panels, registering each poem as part of the sculpture, but rendered cryptic to the viewer.
