<h1>INNER URGE: A TRIBUTE TO SAXOPHONIST &amp; COMPOSER JOE HENDERSON </h1>Step into an evening honoring the life and legacy of Joe Henderson—one of the most profound and quietly revolutionary voices in Jazz. From his years at Blue Note Records to the expansive, exploratory soundscapes of his time in San Francisco, Henderson was a master of tone, space, and storytelling in Jazz. Known for his deep collaborations with artists like pianist Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and trumpeter Lee Morgan, Henderson’s journey from New York’s hard bop scene to the creative openness of the West Coast was a passionate pursuit of artistic freedom that forever changed Jazz music and culture. Now, joined by one of his most dynamic drummers, San Francisco’s own Sylvia Cuenca, The Muse Jazz Collective will reimagine some of his most popular songs, such as Inner Urge and Black Narcissus.
THE COLLECTIVE: We are a community of Bay Area Jazz musicians, lovers, and advocates seeking to awaken more beauty, love, and justice for the world through Jazz.
THERE ARE TWO CONCERTS ON SUNDAY MAY 3: The first concert starts at 5:30 PM and the second concert starts at 7:30 PM. Each concert will be at the Vineyard and will be 90 minutes of iconic music. Doors open 15 minutes prior. You can enjoy dinner before or after the concert or you are free to bring your own food or drink from any of the amazing restaurants within one or two blocks of the venue. Plan to bring cups, wine cork, etc as these items are not available on-site. Anyone drinking alcohol must be 21yrs or older.
- There will be a Q&amp;A at the end of the performance, so as you listen think of some questions about the music, the musicians, the history, the songwriters, or anything else that comes to mind.
- Lastly, be sure to join the collective by subscribing to our newsletter and tag us on social media.
Here's a few of our favorite restaurants within easy walking distance of the venue:- Cafe Napolina - 1950 Grant Street | Ste B- Taqueria Los Dos Gallos - 1950 Grant Street | Ste A- I Love Teriyaki &amp; Sushi - 1980 Galindo Street- Aung Burma - 2151 Salvio Street- Naan n Curry - 2068 Salvio Street
There are two parking garages on Salvio Street- one near the Vineyard and one near Skipolini's Pizza and Concord Avenue.
THE VENUE: The Vineyard is on Todos Santos Plaza in downtown Concord. This concert venue is tied to the history of jazz through Dave Brubeck - who grew up on this site in Concord - and was one of the first musicians to fight for a racially integrated band.
See you soon!
