About this event

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. Described by The New York Times as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years,” Mehldau has done more to extend and refine the piano trio’s possibilities than any artist in the last quarter century. 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.
