Chris Botti
In concert, the melodious trumpeter is as likely to play the second movement of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” – played so beautifully by Miles on Sketches of Spain – as he is Al Green’s grooving “Let’s Stay Together” or a leanly romantic “When I Fall in Love.”

'Birds & Balls’ Opera
Opera Parallèle brings together two perfectly paired full-production operas to create an entertaining evening at the SFJAZZ Center. Birds & Balls combines the World Premiere of Laura Karpman and Gail Collins’ opera, Balls with David T. Little and Royce Vavrek’s 2010 opera, Vinkensport, or The Finch Opera. Balls is a multimedia opera dramatizing the famed September 20, 1973, tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, dubbed “The Battle of the Sexes.” Vinkensport is a bittersweet comedy in one act inspired by the obscure Flemish folk bird-calling sport, Finch-Sitting.
