Family Matinee w/ Adam Shulman & Special Guests

SFJAZZ Center

Night one of Shulman’s Joe Henderson Lab residency is an intimate duo performance with the legendary Bay Area saxophonist Noel Jewkes.

Born into a musical family who formed a swing band to play at local functions in his nateive Utah, Jewkes clearly has jazz in his blood, starting on saxophone and clarinet at 12. A stalwart presence on the Bay Area scene since the 1960s, Jewkes has amassed a staggering resume of work with local and national artists including Jon Hendricks, Weslia Whitfield, Lavay Smith, Mike Bloomfield, Mary Stallings, Jackie Ryan, and Larry Vuckovich.

Best known as part of Marcus Shelby’s Jazz Orchestra and a creative force on the San Francisco jazz scene for more than a decade, pianist Shulman reprises his tribute to Bay Area jazz legend Vince Guaraldi and his soundtrack to Charles Schulz’s 1965 holiday classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Among the most beloved holiday albums of all time, A Charlie Brown Christmas has been certified Triple Platinum with sales of over three million copies. The session was voted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 2007 and was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry’s list of “culturally, historically, or aesthetically important” American recordings.

Kristen Strom is one of the hardest-swinging tenor players in the business, and with her mastery she’s uniquely qualified to guide you on this musical journey. From the earliest roots of swing, through the Ellington and Basie era, to the bebop world of Charlie Parker, to the modern era of young lions influenced by hip-hop, neo soul, and new jack swing – your ears are in for a treat!
