From Terence Blanchard to Mahesh Kale to George Cables and Patrice Rushen, Stanford Jazz promises a wealth of thrilling concerts.
A few months back when the Stanford Jazz Festival announced trumpeter Terence Blanchard as the opening act it looked like a smart move for the summer concert series, which runs June 23-August 5.
Already a groundbreaking artist whose creative endeavors encompass popular culture and the most exclusive realms, Blanchard is ideally equipped to expand SFJAZZ’S mission as an educator, bandleader and composer.
His relationship with violinist David Balakrishnan, Turtle Island’s co-founder and director, has deepened and expanded as the two groups have toured widely together. And when the opportunity to distill the music from “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” came up as part of Blanchard’s SFJAZZ Center residency last summer he turned to Balakrishnan to distill the score.
Blanchard’s deep ties to the Stanford Jazz Workshop, which produces the Stanford Jazz Festival, offer another promising avenue for his SFJAZZ tenure.Blanchard performs with the E-Collective and Turtle Island Quartet at 7:30 p.m. June 24 at Bing Concert Hall, Stanford University; $30-$110.Here are several other not-to-miss concerts coming up at the festival.
