SFJAZZ Collective Joins The Center's Jazz Lineup

The SFJAZZ Collective will make its Orange County Performing Arts Center debut on March 17 and 18 with a program honoring the works of Herbie Hancock. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. both evenings in Founders Hall.

Led by artistic director Joshua Redman, the SFJAZZ Collective celebrates jazz as a vital and ever-changing art form. Each year, the eight member all-star group divides its repertoire between new works written by each of the band’s members and works by a modern jazz artist. Legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock is the focus of this year’s tour.

Members of the 2006 SFJAZZ Collective are Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone), Joshua Redman (saxophone), Eric Harland (drums), Nicholas Payton (trumpet), Matt Penman (bass), Renee Rosnes (piano), Miguel Zenón (saxophone) and Andrew Hayward (trombone).
