SFJAZZ Collective - COLLECTIVE IMAGERY (2025) [Hi-Res]

Collective Imagery is the end result of a project undertaken in collaboration with San Francisco’s de Young Museum, which in May 2024 invited saxophonists Chris Potter and David Sánchez, trumpeter Mike Rodriguez, vibraphonist Warren Wolf, pianist Edward Simon, bassist Matt Brewer, and drummer Kendrick Scott, to view a collection of pieces by contemporary Bay Area artists and choose a work to serve as a springboard from which to compose. Entering their third season as a unit, each master responded with compositions that reflect a multiplicity of visions as diverse as their backgrounds, and yet alchemically coalesce into one grand view.
