JazzPOP celebrates its 17th season this summer, inviting luminaries of West Coast jazz and creative improvised music to the Hammer courtyard for three concerts in August. The 2024 edition features quintets led by three innovative California bandleaders who explore a vast terrain in their dynamic, adventurous music.
Organized by San Francisco Bay Area bassist Lisa Mezzacappa.
Beth Schenck, alto saxophone
Cory Wright, tenor saxophone and bass clarinet
Matt Wrobel, guitar
Lisa Mezzacappa, bass
Jordan Glenn, drums
A wildly creative and original musical voice, San Francisco saxophonist and composer Beth Schenck writes bracing music that blends lush harmonies with fierce propulsiveness and surprising rhythmic twists and turns. Her quintet features some of the Bay Area’s most adventurous improvisers, supporting her compositions which have been praised as “frank and beautiful” (MetalJazz.com) and “reliably enthralling” (San Francisco Chronicle).
