JANE IRA BLOOM QUARTET: WILD LINES - Improvising Emily Dickinson, Shows at 6:00pm & 7:30pm
Bloom’s latest album, 2017’s Wild Lines: Improvising Emily Dickinson (Outline), features the same stellar band she brings to SFJAZZ.
Jazz’s greatest living soprano saxophonist performs with her spectacular quartet including pianist Dawn Clement, bassist Mark Helias, and drummer Bobby Previte. Possessing a painterly style and firm command of electronic textures, Bloom creates music that gives form to mysterious beauty and subconscious emotions. Regularly cited as jazz’s foremost master on her wily instrument, she’s distinguished herself over the past 35 years as a resourceful bandleader and a melodically expansive composer particularly inspired by painters and poets. She’s also a tenured professor at The New School and a Guggenheim Fellow.
