Bassist, bandleader, and SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director Marcus Shelby has graced our Family Matinee stages for over a decade, delighting audiences with his electrifying compositions and arrangements as well as his wealth of knowledge of our shared musical heritage. From roots music, to the powerful songs of freedom that shaped the civil rights movement, Shelby takes us on a journey of soulful discovery of the blues as we honor Black History Month.
