Watch full concerts on-demand at https://www.sfjazz.org/athome

For our opening class on Blue Note Records, Brewer and company honored iconic albums that chronicled the evolution from swing to bebop, and on to the sounds of hard bop and modal jazz. Founded by German-Jewish immigrants in 1939, Blue Note Records documented every major advance in jazz music and is still a trendsetting imprint today. The musical selections for this program cover a range of critically acclaimed albums recorded between 1949 and 1965, featuring the music of stellar artists Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Lee Morgan and Herbie Hancock. The excellent ensemble for this class features three members of our celebrated SFJAZZ Collective (Michael Rodríguez, Matt Brewer and Kendrick Scott) along with stalwarts Kristen Strom and Sundra Manning.
