Dayna Stephens has been a beloved member of the SJW family for many years. A first-rate saxophonist, composer, and educator, Dayna has a rare kidney disease that urgently requires him to obtain a transplant. His current and future medical bills are a daunting obstacle, and this performance gives you a rare chance to hear Dayna’s artistry and to help defray the costs of his treatment. All donations go directly to Dayna via the Jazz Foundation of America.
