Past side-by-side performances have included world-renowned jazz greats such as Carmen Bradford, Matt Wilson, Julian Lage, Chad-Lefkowitz-Brown, as well as SFJAZZ Collective members David Sanchez, Warren Wolf, or Edward Simon. This performance is the culmination of a multiple-day residency, with students working side-by-side with faculty to conceive, workshop, and rehearse their original material and arrangements of jazz standards. The individual pieces will be announced from stage. * faculty
