The Mercury News previews the SFJAZZ Center 10-Year Anniversary Week in a recent editorial piece:
“After four decades in jazz’s big leagues, Randall Kline is going down swinging. As the founder and guiding spirit of the organization that started in 1983 as Jazz In the City, attained international stature the following decade as the San Francisco Jazz Festival, and made history in 2013 as SFJAZZ by building the country’s first stand-alone center dedicated to the quintessential American art form, Kline announced last March that he’d be stepping down by the end of 2023.
His farewell season continues this week with a four-night run of concerts that encapsulate a significant swath of his imposing legacy, starting tonight Jan. 12 with a tribute to the late piano legend McCoy Tyner led by saxophonist Joe Lovano. A Jan. 13 concert celebrates of the music of Chick Corea’s Return to Forever with a quartet led by bassist Stanley Clarke, who anchored the hugely popular fusion band. Tyner and Corea were both on hand to help inaugurate the SFJAZZ Center on its January 2013 opening weekend.”–The Mercury News
