Bio:
SJZ Collective is comprised of some of the leading jazz musicians and improvisers from Norther California’s Silicon Valley.
This ever-evolving group of master players has performed all over the world. The ensemble allows each member to shine by bringing their own arrangements to the group. This year the band is paying tribute to the music of Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus and present their very unique take and interpretation of the music of these jazz legends.

Organist Brian Ho plays all over the region with his Trio. He’s not just keeping jazz organ alive; he has developed a unique and modern take on standards and originals that bounce with energy.

Mexico-born bassist Saúl Sierra studied at the Berklee School of Music. He’s played alongside Nestor Torres, Jimmy Bosh, Antonio Sánchez, John Santos, Rebeca Mauleón, Chuchito Valdez and Wayne Wallace, and is a founding member of the band Vission Latina.

Drummer Wally Schnalle has a long history of working with San Jose Jazz as a performer and educator. In addition to leading his own groups, he’s worked with Phil Woods, Eddie Daniels, Ernie Watts, Etienne Charles, Mary Wilson and many great Bay Area artists.

Hristo Vitchev is one of the most innovative voices in modern jazz guitar. At only age 37 he has already released 9 critically acclaimed albums as a bandleader.
