"Prized Possession," the photograph used as the album cover, comes from SFJAZZ Photographer Laureate Jim Goldberg's acclaimed Open See Collection—telling the story of refugees, immigrants, and trafficked individuals journeying from their countries of origin to their new homes in Europe. You can pick up a copy of Goldberg's Open See Collection at the SFJAZZ Box Office.
The award gives the SFJAZZ Collective some well-deserved recognition, highlighting but one chapter of its extensive book. To celebrate its ever-growing legacy of music, the Collective (with new members Warren Wolf, Obed Calvaire and David Sanchez) embarks on an extensive domestic tour throughout March and April, commemorating its 10th Anniversary. Check out the tour dates! Buy the album online at sfjazz.org.
