SFJAZZ Collective 10th Anniversary Spring 2014 Tour



For the SFJAZZ Collective's 10th Anniversary Spring Tour, we asked each member to pick their favorites from the Collective Songbook! Check out their responses, interwoven with recordings and video clips from the past 10 years! The backdrop is Sandow Birk / Elyse Pignolet's tile mural "Jazz and the Nation," a fictionalized cityscape of important jazz venues across the United States, which lives on the 2nd floor of the SFJAZZ Center.

Peep the SJAZZ Collective Tour Dates! Watch more videos of the SFJAZZ Collective. Follow the SFJAZZ Collective (@SFJAZZCollectiv) on Twitter!
