The San Francisco Jazz Collective (SFJAZZ Collective), a group of eight of the most in-demand artists in jazz, boasts a roster that changes annually. The players set aside their numerous other high-profile projects and devote all their time and energy to the Collective, touring for multiple weeks each year. Some will know Stefon Harris from other Staller Center dates—he and his band Blackout played the venue in 2006, and he was with the Kenny Barron Quintet in 2004.
In the past, the musicians in the Collective have played the music of Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter. In 2010- 2011, Horace Silver is the jazz luminary they celebrate. Some of the most enduring tunes in jazz are by composer and piano man Horace Silver—"Song for my Father," "Que Pasa," and "Sister Sadie"—earthy, soulful, swinging and full of the blues.

This Collective lineup is a perfect balance among founding members, multi-year veterans and exciting additions. They will perform new arrangements of the work of legendary pianist Horace Silver and fresh original compositions by each of the eight Collective members.
