SUMMARY:Indian Jazz Journey featuring Mahesh Kale and George Brooks
DESCRIPTION:No American-born jazz musician has forged deeper or more enduring ties to the world of Indian classical music than Berkeley tenor saxophonist George Brooks. Over the past two decades\, those relationships have taken shape in a kaleidoscopic range of collaborations through his Stanford Jazz Festival–exclusive Indian Jazz Journey. In recent years\, the program has centered on his evolving musical partnership with vocalist Mahesh Kale. \nBorn and raised in Pune\, the cultural capital of Maharashtra\, Kale trained under Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki\, the legendary artist who revitalized the Marathi musical theater tradition in the 1950s. In 2015\, Kale won India’s equivalent of an Academy Award for Best Playback Singer for a classical performance in the film Katyar Kaljat Ghusli\, a breakthrough moment that propelled him to national prominence. \nAs in past editions\, Brooks has assembled a sensational cast of musicians ideally equipped to join him and Kale in exploring musical landscapes shaped by the world’s two most sophisticated improvisational traditions. \nCo-produced with the Indian Classical Music and Arts Foundation \n \nMahesh Kale Website \nGeorge Brooks Website \nPersonnel:  \n\nMahesh Kale\, vocals\nGeorge Brooks\, saxophone\nAdditional personnel TBA\n\nMedia shown is representative of the artist’s work and may not reflect the exact repertoire or ensemble configuration presented at this performance.

SUMMARY:Branford Marsalis Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. An NEA Jazz Master\, GRAMMY Award winner\, and Tony and EMMY Award nominee\, he is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras or sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead. Yet the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. \nFor more than three decades\, with remarkably few personnel changes\, this celebrated ensemble has earned a reputation for uncompromising performances across a kaleidoscopic range of original compositions\, jazz standards\, and reimagined popular classics. After GRAMMY nominations for its last two albums\, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul\, the Quartet made its Blue Note Records debut with Belonging\, a full-length interpretation of Keith Jarrett’s landmark 1974 ECM release. \nThe New York Times observed that “Marsalis has tackled imposing jazz masterworks before … but at its best\, his ‘Belonging’ goes deeper … it’s a performance that both honors and amplifies.” Critic John Zeugner captured the Quartet’s live impact\, calling it “casually confident\, professional\, cerebral\, and supercharged with energy.” The Branford Marsalis Quartet\, he wrote\, “was all of those adjectives and more.” \nhttps://www.branfordmarsalis.com/ \nPersonnel: \n\nBranford Marsalis\, saxophone\nJoey Calderazzo\, piano\nEric Revis\, bass\nJustin Faulkner\, drums

SUMMARY:Billy Childs Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Long before Billy Childs gained recognition as one of the country’s preeminent composers\, he was dazzling Bay Area audiences as a sideman. After a brief stint with trombone great J.J. Johnson\, the Los Angeles native began making regular treks north when trumpet legend Freddie Hubbard assembled a prodigious young band in 1978 that also featured bassist Larry Klein\, who later earned renown producing albums by Joni Mitchell\, Herbie Hancock\, Luciana Souza\, and Childs’ own 2014 jazz-chart-topping project Map of the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro. \nAfter years of playing funk and fusion\, Hubbard had returned to straight-ahead jazz sounding more fiery than ever. For Childs\, then in his early 20s\, performing at Keystone Korner\, Kuumbwa\, and Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society with Hubbard’s band was trial by blowtorch on every gig. He has been making trips north ever since\, both as an accompanist for masters such as Bobby Hutcherson and Dianne Reeves and as a leader in his own right\, giving audiences regular updates on his extraordinary evolution as a GRAMMY Award-winning composer\, arranger\, and improviser. \nHe has carved out an unusual career path built largely on his pen\, making his living through commissions. Writing for orchestras and chamber ensembles has become his bread and butter over the past two decades\, which makes every opportunity to stretch out with his band one he seizes with both hands. \nhttps://billychilds.com/ \nPersonnel: \n\nBilly Childs\, piano\nDan Chmielinski\, bass\nChristian Euman\, drums\nAdditional personnel TBA

SUMMARY:Luciana Souza and Marcel Camargo: New Moon with string quartet
DESCRIPTION:Whether interpreting Brazilian Songbook standards\, deploying her voice like a horn alongside an orchestra\, or transforming beloved poems into original songs\, Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza is a musician of the highest order. Long based in Los Angeles\, she is perhaps best known for a GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY-winning series of intimate recordings pairing her with an extraordinary roster of Brazilian jazz guitarists\, including Romero Lubambo\, Toninho Horta\, and Marco Pereira. \nHer latest project\, New Moon\, takes that intimate duo format into lustrous new territory with guitarist and composer Marcel Camargo\, a fellow São Paulo native now based in Los Angeles. He has toured internationally with Michael Bublé and led\, produced\, and arranged vocalist Gretchen Parlato’s Flor project. He has also shared the stage and studio with artists such as Sérgio Mendes\, Herb Alpert\, and Macy Gray. New Moon pairs the duo with a string quartet\, fulfilling a longtime dream of Souza’s. Together\, Souza and Camargo\, who also hails from an eminent musical family\, reimagine Brazilian classics and debut new co-written songs. His delicately calibrated arrangements create lyrical soundscapes rich in texture and emotion for one of jazz’s most alluring singers. \nhttps://www.lucianasouza.com/ \nPersonnel: \n\nLuciana Souza\, vocals\nMarcel Camargo\, guitar\nLivia Sohn\, violin\nJessie Fellows\, violin\nKaya Bryla\, viola\nRobert Howard\, cello

SUMMARY:The Music of Duke Ellington with Nick Rossi's Jazzopaters
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco guitarist Nick Rossi is one of the world’s foremost experts on pre–World War II jazz\, both as a practitioner and a scholar. A few years ago he traveled to Paris for the International Duke Ellington Meeting\, a three-day conference for historians\, musicians\, and devotees of Ellingtonia. Rossi delivered a talk on guitarist Fred Guy\, a key member of the Ellington Orchestra from 1925 to 1949\, and after spending time with some of his favorite authors and researchers\, he returned home with a nagging question and the seed of his next musical mission. \nThe Bay Area was clearly in need of a band devoted to the small-group music recorded by Ellington\, Billy Strayhorn\, and the orchestra’s featured soloists\, including baritone saxophonist Harry Carney\, altoist Johnny Hodges\, and trumpeter Cootie Williams. The result was the nine-piece Jazzopaters\, which has been delighting audiences and dancers at the region’s finest clubs and venues for the past two years. Featuring many of the Bay Area’s finest improvisers\, the group proudly keeps seldom-performed gems by the incomparable Ellington in circulation. \nhttps://nickrossimusic.com/ \nPersonnel (subject to change): \n\nPatrick Wolff\, alto sax & clarinet\nNathan Tokunaga\, clarinet & tenor sax\nKamrin Ortiz\, baritone sax & clarinet\nJames Dunning\, trumpet\nVictor Imbo\, trombone\nAdam Shulman\, piano\nNick Rossi\, guitar\nMikiya Matsuda\, bass\nRiley Baker\, drums

SUMMARY:Nicolas Bearde Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Nicolas Bearde earned an avid following as a solo act crooning sophisticated R&B before evolving over the past decade into a captivating jazz singer who brings easy-going authority to ballads and swaggering mid-tempo standards. He made his Stanford debut in 2024 with a program drawn from his album I Remember You: The Music of Nat King Cole\, and will broaden the repertoire for this performance. \nBearde first gained widespread notice in the late 1980s as a founding member of Bobby McFerrin’s innovative\, improvisation-steeped a cappella ensemble Voicestra. He spent much of the 1980s and 1990s pursuing a dual-track career as a musician and actor\, working on stage and television. Thankfully\, music has been his primary pursuit in recent years. Whether navigating Billy Strayhorn’s rueful “Lush Life\,” Eden Ahbez’s beatific “Nature Boy\,” or Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane’s impetuously grooving “Come Back to Me\,” Bearde finds the emotional core of every lyric. \nNicholas Bearde Website \nPersonnel: \n\nNicolas Bearde\, vocals

SUMMARY:Marcus Shelby Sextet Conversation: The Language of Charles Mingus
DESCRIPTION:Marcus Shelby has never shied away from extending his creative reach. From his early years as a young lion recording for some of jazz’s most vaunted labels\, the San Francisco bassist\, composer\, bandleader\, and educator has earned renown for his wide-ranging leadership. He’s best known for ambitious\, historically informed works like 2006’s Port Chicago (Noir Records)\, a suite for jazz orchestra inspired by the World War II miscarriage of justice\, and 2018’s Black Ball: The Negro Leagues and the Blues\, a suite commissioned by the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival. \nHe has served as a musical foil for playwright and actor Anna Deavere Smith during the development of her interview-driven one-woman show about the school-to-prison pipeline\, Notes From the Field. Since taking over as artistic director of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival in the fall of 2020\, he has significantly expanded the already internationally recognized organization. While his temperament is the mirror opposite of the tempestuous Charles Mingus\, Shelby is steeped in Mingus’s music and is ideally placed to offer insight into his composing\, bandleading\, and gift for coaxing superlative performances from collaborators. \nPersonnel: \n\nMarcus Shelby\,  bass\nAdditional personnel TBA

SUMMARY:Christina Galisatus Quintet plays Joni Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:Now living in Los Angeles\, Christina Galisatus has gained recognition in recent years as one of the brightest young artists on the vibrant Southland scene. A versatile creative force as a pianist and multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, vocalist\, and songwriter\, she has released several critically acclaimed albums\, including 2023’s Without Night and 2025’s Hold Still\, which brought her lustrous vocals to the fore. \nRaised on the Peninsula\, she graduated from Stanford with honors and practically grew up at the Workshop. It has surprised exactly none of her Bay Area fans that she is thriving in Los Angeles. She returns to campus with her new Joni Mitchell project\, delving into the extraordinary songbook of one of her primary influences. Though she approaches Mitchell’s music with reverence\, Galisatus infuses the songs with her distinctive harmonic language and melodic imagination\, transforming them into deeply personal vehicles for emotional expression. \nChristina Galisatus Website \nPersonnel: \n\nChristina Galisatus\, piano & vocals\nAdditional personnel TBA

SUMMARY:Jimmy Heath Centennial Celebration with Jeb Patton & David Wong
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Heath would likely give a wry smile at the thought that his 100th birthday might be overshadowed by the centennial celebrations for Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Hailing from one of jazz’s most distinguished families\, Heath was both universally esteemed by his peers and\, at times\, underappreciated — particularly when it came to his prowess on the tenor saxophone (he was also formidable on flute and soprano sax). \nHis success as an arranger and composer — he wrote at least a half-dozen standards\, including “Gingerbread Boy\,” “Gemini\,” “C.T.A.\,” and “For Minors Only” — meant that he never quite received his full due as an improviser. Pianist Jeb Patton and veteran bassist David Wong experienced the creative intensity of Heath’s horn firsthand as members of the Heath Brothers band alongside drummer Tootie Heath. Both have led distinguished careers accompanying masters who came of age in the 1940s\, including drum legend Roy Haynes\, saxophone great George Coleman\, and alto powerhouse Charles McPherson. They co-lead this celebration of Jimmy Heath’s music — tunes that helped define the hard-bop era. \nJeb Patton Website \nPersonnel: \n\nJeb Patton\, piano\nDavid Wong\, bass\nAdditional personnel TBA
