Photos from Joe Henderson Lab Opening Night

The Joe Henderson Lab had it's Grand Opening last Thursday night. The evening included a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, some remarks from SFJAZZ Co-founder & Artistic Director Randall Kline, as well as the kick-off of the 1st Annual SFJAZZ Hotplate Festival featuring a Joe Henderson tribute by Mitch Marcus and his quintet. Here are a few photos from that evening.
