On Wednesday, March 5 at 8:30 p.m., the SFJAZZ Collective brings to Zankel Hall new compositions by the ensemble's members and the works of one of jazz's quintessential modernists: iconic saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter. Named “Rising Star Jazz Band of the Year" in DownBeat's 2006 International Critics Poll, the Collective includes Joe Lovano (saxophones), Dave Douglas (trumpet), Miguel Zenn (alto saxophone and flute), Robin Eubanks (trombone), Renee Rosnes (piano), Matt Penman (bass), Eric Harland (drums), and Stefon Harris (vibraphone and marimba). The SFJAZZ Collective's composer focus this season is on Wayne Shorter, best known for carefully conceived and complex tunes, and whose body of work as a composer includes writing for such illustrious groups as Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis's famous mid '60s quintet, and fusion supergroup Weather Report. This performance is a part of Nonesuch at Carnegie and Carnegie Hall's 2007–2008 The Shape of Jazz series. The Shape of Jazz series is presented by Carnegie Hall in partnership with Festival Productions.
