Eight-time Grammy winner Billy Childs has “sidestepped categorization as an intrepid hard bopper” (The New Yorker), collaborating with jazz luminaries like J.J. Johnson, Joe Henderson, Wynton Marsalis, and Dave Holland, as well eminent classical and contemporary artists including Yo-Yo Ma, Sting, and the Kronos Quartet. Admired for his versatility, technical mastery, and deep emotional expression, the renowned pianist and composer makes his Miller debut with his all-star quartet.

Founded by SFJAZZ in 2004, the SFJAZZ Collective is an all-star ensemble and composer’s workshop that represents what’s happening now in jazz. Since the beginning, the Collective’s mission has been to perform newly commissioned pieces by each member and fresh arrangements of works by modern masters. This year’s Collective performances in Miner Auditorium will take place in November, but this special week in the Joe Henderson Lab to help kick off the 2023-24 Season brings the group together with a decidedly different approach.
