SFJazz Collective

There's a big difference between inorganic all-star bands, cobbled together to boost sales, and actual collectives like this one: focused, well-rehearsed, consistently creative units in which everyone's a leader. The reliably world-class band currently includes saxophonists David Sánchez and Miguel Zenón, trumpeter Avishai Cohen, trombonist Robin Eubanks, pianist Edward Simon, vibist Warren Wolf, bassist Matt Penman and drummer Obed Calvaire. Here the band concentrates on music by late saxophone master Joe Henderson, plus original tunes by its members.
