The SFJAZZ High School All-Stars Orchestra honors the lasting heritage of Thelonious Monk's music by presenting beautiful arrangements of some of his most infectious compositions, including 'Misterioso,' 'Evidence,' 'Well You Needn't' and exquisite ballads such as 'Ruby, My Dear.' A rich palette of Monk's work will be expressed through the sonic tapestry of the All-Stars Orchestra, featuring the Bay Area's most skilled young jazz performers and directed by saxophonist and educator Paul Contos. This event will be held in the Forum at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
