Saxofonist

Dena DeRose is one of those incredibly rare talents who is not only a virtuoso singer and pianist, but whose mastery of the repertoire and ability to delight a room full of jazz fans can only be described as “world-class.” A swinging, two-fisted player with a command of bebop that makes even her hottest solos seem effortless, Dena is constantly touring Europe from her home base in Austria, so this chance to catch her in her SJW habitat is a real treat. Anchoring her trio is the phenomenal drummer Akira Tana performing alongside bassist Peter Barshay and saxophonist Ralph Moore, the brilliant tenor saxophonist who was last at the Stanford Jazz Festival with the Ray Brown Trio

Dena DeRose Trio ft. Ralph Moore

Braun Music Center

A mid-career master regarded by his peers as one of jazz’s very best trumpeters, Terell Stafford possesses a huge, lithesome sound, bountiful imagination and a full-spectrum emotional palette with infinite shades of tenderness, sorrow, aggression and awe. While he’s recorded about a dozen excellent albums as a leader, he’s been more visible as a dependably inspired sideman who adds a potent jolt of energy into setting. Over the past quarter century he’s been sought out by veteran masters such as saxophone legend Jimmy Heath, pianist Cedar Walton, altoist Bobby Watson (for both his quintet Horizon and Tailor Made Big Band), drummer Matt Wilson’s Arts and Crafts, and the Clayton Brothers and Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.
