These four exclusive concerts bring together three of the greatest artists in jazz today, including pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Marcus Gilmore.

Christian McBride, an eight-time GRAMMY winner and former SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director, is considered the premier jazz bassist of the 21st century. Marcus Gilmore, heir to jazz royalty, is known for his dynamic performances with renowned artists. This collaboration promises a remarkable musical experience.
