Felix Peikli

Clarinetist Felix Peikli is, in the words of eminent critic Ben Ratliff, “a star” (The New York Times). The Oslo, Norway native is the most exciting young clarinetist to emerge on the scene in over a decade, working as bandleader and collaborator with Wayne Shorter, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock, Danilo Perez, and Ralph Peterson. He returns to SFJAZZ with a heartfelt tribute to the iconic clarinetist and bandleader Buddy DeFranco.
