From the SFJazz Center website:

Curated by powerhouse drummer Cindy Blackman, this night honors the work of master drummer Tony Williams, a hugely influential artist who provided the polyrhythmic fire powering Miles Davis’ second great quintet in the mid 1960s. His band Lifetime helped pioneer the fusion movement, and in 1990 the longtime Bay Area resident premiered an SFJAZZ-commissioned work that featured Herbie Hancock and the Kronos Quartet.

Concert includes performances by Zakir Hussain, Joshua Redman, Terence Blanchard, Mary Stallings, Joe Lovano, Bill Frisell, Stefon Harris, Cindy Blackman Santana, Eric Harland, John Santos, Kronos Quartet, SFJAZZ Collective.

From the France Musique website:

Un all-star de rêve pour entourer Cindy Blackman Santana dans son hommage au batteur Tony Williams (1945-1997). Les grands moments du concert d'hier soir au SFJazz Center.

Le thème de cette 5ème saison du SFJazz Center est “traditions in transition". Il s'agit chaque soir, de réactualiser une grande figure du patrimoine du jazz, avec le souci d'éviter la nostalgie et en l'inscrivant dans le temps présent. Le choix s'est porté sur des jazzmen qui ont une histoire avec San Francisco, soit parce qu'ils y sont nés, soit parce qu'ils y ont vécu et ont marqué la scène du jazz locale.

Tony Williams, que Miles Davis engagea comme batteur à 17 ans, y a passé les dernières années de sa vie, enseignant dans la Bay Area. Entre temps, son groupe Lifetime avait jeté les bases du jazz fusion. Au début des années 1990, l'association SFJazz, qui n'avait pas encore bâti son Center, lui avait passé une commande qui fut créée avec Herbie Hancock et le Kronos Quartet.
