After knocking out a standing- room only crowd at the Palace of Fine Arts in its renowned debut, the Hip Hop Symphony returns, this time to Yoshi’s SF. From Adam Theis, The Jazz Mafia and Yonas Media comes an unprecedented work born in the true spirit of jazz, and celebrated with a 40-piece ensemble featuring the best vocalists, MCs and instrumental chops the Bay has to offer. A creative force on the Bay Area music scene for more than a decade, visionary bandleader Adam Theis is known for ensembles such as the Realistic Orchestra and The Jazz Mafia Horns, among others. With this Gerbode Foundation commission, the fearless innovator has made a major contribution to the constantly evolving American art form known as jazz. Approached with innovation and improvisation, the multi-thematic work embraces jazz tradition and sends a positive and pertinent message for our times, creating an historical impact that simply can not be denied.
