DEAR MUSIC

LOVERS
Thank you all—musicians, SFJAZZ
members, patrons, press—for giving
SFJAZZ the opportunity to joyously
~
celebrate the milestone of our 5th
Just 3 blocks away!
Season in the SFJAZZ Center.
This is a proud moment for us all—a time to reflect on what has been achieved, but
more importantly to look forward and build on what has been accomplished.
As we neared the opening of the Center in January 2013, I was often asked how it
would feel to see SFJAZZ’s dream of a dedicated building for jazz finally come to life:
“You must be very proud.” The reply was, “Yes it will be a great accomplishment for
us, but I can give you a better answer in 3 to 5 years.” The creation of the SFJAZZ
Center was a risk—was it possible to create a cultural institution, for jazz, here in San
Francisco? It’s now time for the answer, and it looks like the gamble has worked out
59 9th Street
and you, our audience, have made it work: SFJAZZ membership has quadrupled since
we broke ground—from 3,000 to over 12,000 members; 90% of all shows have sold
(between Market & Mission) out; 35,000 students have been reached through our education programs; and over

Franciscans and jazz fans, and we don’t intend to stand still. Our values of openness,

in the coming 12 months. Following are three examples: a partnership with the
San Francisco Conservatory of Music, who is launching a jazz studies program for
the 2017-18 academic year with the SFJAZZ Collective as the core faculty; radio
broadcasts of “Live from the SFJAZZ Center” starting this fall on the French public

radio station France Musique, with more stations to follow; and we just became an
official “Curator” for Apple Music, providing our point of view on jazz.
This might just be the most

A place where jazz can

DEAR FRIEND OF SFJAZZ

Welcome to SFJAZZ and the opening of
Season 5! Time certainly flies! Many of you
OFFICERS
were here just a few seasons ago for the
Michael Mauzé, Chair SFJAZZ Center’s inaugural season in 2013,
Tony Harris, Vice Chair and now our fifth anniversary is just around
Brian E. Hollins, Treasurer the corner. Your support for the artists
who perform on our stages continues to be
Timothy Stultz, Secretary
phenomenal, and together we are able to
TRUSTEES present this fabulous musical journey with
hundreds of musicians exploring the many
Michael Bell
facets of jazz.
Terry Berkemeier
John Botti At the beginning of a new season we’re
Sam Britton again reminded how resolute we must be to keep the SFJAZZ experience at a level that
meets your expectations, as well as just how large a contingent of working artists and
Honorable Willie L. Brown, Jr.
teachers we work with in the course of nine months. With new artists coming into the Center
Charles Charnas
each week from near and far—literally from around the world—we have only a brief chance
Jack Conte
to experience their interpretation of the music we all call jazz. SFJAZZ doesn’t have a single
Bruce Cozadd
orchestra for you to come to know, but rather each week, week by week, we hope you
Timothy Dattels
engage with the best musicians and music presented anywhere.
Donald W. Derheim
Jazz, we believe, is constantly evolving, and we make every effort to not only present
David C. Drummond
a wide swath of music on our stages but to also bring jazz into the community through
Mark Dubovoy
classroom instruction, outreach, hands on master classes, a community band, and both
Kate Duhamel
a High School All-Stars Big Band and Combo. You can find information on all of these
Mark Edmunds
programs in this book.
Daniel Handler
William A. Holodnak The SFJAZZ experience is not only what you come to see, but it’s also how you participate.
Jimmy Hormel
We have improved our email communications and hope you have added
Bannus Hudson
[email protected] to your address book. Every Tuesday we prepare and send the
Zakir Hussain news of the week— sometimes with added shows, discounts and special offers.
Randall Kline
In other tech news, we are the first jazz organization to partner with Apple Music as a
John Santos
Curator. Our page is loaded with exclusive playlists that allow you to take the SFJAZZ
Joseph L. Sherman
experience with you, anywhere in the world.
Denise Young Smith
Greg Stern We have also made improvements to our tech systems, and I encourage you to download
Jon Streeter the SFJAZZ app that allows you to use your smartphone to select, purchase and attend
shows without ever turning a page or printing out a ticket. And speaking of your phone,
Sanjay Vaswani
thank you for keeping the ringers off and phones out of sight during the performance. The
HONORARY MEMBERS artists and your fellow audience members appreciate your courtesy!
Clinton Gilbert, Co-Founder Thank you for coming to the show, and I look forward to joining you for many more nights
Shirley Read-Jahn of great jazz.
