Seven-time GRAMMY winner, two-time Oscar nominee and newly appointed Executive Artistic Director of SFJAZZ Terence Blanchard returns to the Mondavi Center stage with The E-Collective & Turtle Island Quartet for an unforgettable night celebrating the 20th anniversary of his seminal album, FLOW.

A record inspired by Miles Davis’ landmark groups of the late 1960s and early 1970s, FLOW “treated jazz like a smorgasbord” (PopMatters) in its use of electric instruments, deep funk grooves and a collage of global influences. The album, produced by Herbie Hancock, was a landmark for Blanchard, one that pointed towards his continually fascinating evolution as an artist and composer.

This event features a pre-show DEI in the Arts Meetup. Learn More
