Erik Jekabson String-tet | JAZZ + At The de Young | SF

Erik Jekabson, trumpet – Mike Zilber, saxophone – Mads Tolling, violin – Charith Premawardhana, viola – John Wiitala, bass – Smith Dobson – percussion

Berkeley native Erik Jekabson is a trumpeter, composer, and educator with a sound that Allmusic Guide has described as “a perfect balance between melodic artistry and probing, knotty jazz improvisation.” You might hear the influence of early Miles Davis in playing that comes across as crisp and precise, yet capable of soaring buoyantly into uncharted territory. His String-tet ensemble is a jazzy take on classical, and a classical take on jazz.
