Today: Tammy L. Hall – Celebrating Piano Powerhouses Mary Lou Williams & Tania Maria | SFJazz Family Matinee
Please join us as we celebrate the music and adventurousness of Mary Lou Williams and Tania Maria. They were—and are—maestras of BOTH HANDS at the piano, the left hand being just as agile and strong as the right. For jazz icon Mary Lou Williams, blues and Spirituals were the foundation, and for Brazilian pianist Tania Maria, mixing samba with just about anything provided new and inspired grooves. We will explore these styles and more as we acknowledge two piano powerhouses in our final family matinee of the season!
Tickets:
Tickets are $5, 10, and $23.

Today: When You Wish Upon a Star, A Jazz Tribute to 100 Years of Disney at SFJazz
Over the years the Disney songbook has attracted the attention of some extraordinary jazz artists, including Sun Ra, Dave Brubeck and Louis Armstrong.
Marking the centennial of Walt Disney launching his eponymous animation studio, “When You Wish Upon a Star” infuses the Disney canon with a fresh jolt of jazz energy.
Performed by the National Jazz Museum in Harlem’s newly created house quintet led by pianist Sean Mason, the show features two vocalists with deep Bay Area ties. Kim Nalley is a San Francisco institution and longtime SFJAZZ favorite who can scat with the dexterity of a bebop horn player, belt the blues with downhome authority, and caress a ballad with imploring tenderness.
Tickets:
Tickets are $25 | $35 | $45 | $65
