A strong start to the new year, with 10 shows in the first three months. Not sure I will be able to keep up this pace, despite last year's record-breaking showing.
As for highlights, I attended my first concert in Grace Cathedral, with the amazing solo trumpet of Ambrose Akinmusire. Along with a couple of great piano performances (Jason Moran, Tord Gustavson Trio) and the amazing Amadou & Mariam, SFJAZZ is really delivering this year. The one non-SFJAZZ standout for me was Colin Stetson, blowing my mind with his century-old, multi-mic'd bass saxophone.
