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

SJW All-Star Jam

Stanford University

Touring regularly with trumpeter Terrance Blanchard’s band, Charles Altura is a singular new voice of jazz guitar. Adventurous yet melodic, Altura’s own music has elements of many of the great artists with whom he’s toured and recorded, such as the late Chick Corea, Tom Harrell, and fellow SJW alumni Ambrose Akinmusire and Dayna Stephens.

Peter Bernstein gave the classic organ trio format new life as a member of the Larry Goldings Trio in the early ’90s, and his mastery of the idiom and the guitar give him a style all his own. A virtuoso’s virtuoso, Bernstein’s music never fails to excite and delight the audience.
