The Pace Report: "Reflecting The Moment" SFJAZZ Collective Interview Warren Wolf and Martin Luther

The Pace Report: "Reflecting The Moment" SFJAZZ Collective Interview Warren Wolf and Martin Luther
Welcome to another edition of The Pace Report featuring the SFJAZZ Collective performing new music from their latest album "SFJAZZ Collective: New Works Reflecting The Moment" live at Sony Hall in New York City.

The SFJAZZ Collective was formed by SFJAZZ in 2004 and it's mission has been to form a group of musicians to allow their compositions to reflect the goals and music representing jazz music. Each member of the Collective is to perform and revision the works by jazz legends as well as present new commissioned pieces by each member.

This year's collective features Chris Potter as Music Director and Tenor Saxophonist, David Sanchez on Tenor Saxophone, Etienne Charles on Trumpet, Warren Wolf on Vibes, Edward Simon on Piano and Keys, Kendrick Scott on Drums, Matt Brewer on bass, and Gretchen Parlato and Martin Luther McCoy on vocals.

Their latest album "New Works Reflecting The Moment" revisions some classics like Marvin Gaye's iconic hit record "What's Going On?" and Abbey Lincoln's "Throw It Away."

I sat down with recently with vocalist Martin Luther McCoy and vibraphonist Warren Wolf to talk about this new recording and how they chose the material to reflect the issues that are affecting the country in the now.
