"The San Francisco Symphony's upcoming season of tried-and-true classics has a bright spot in this appearance by well-loved conductor Donald Runnicles, who for 17 years occupied the podium across the street from Davies at the Opera House.

The fact that it's in SFJAZZ's tiny side room, the Joe Henderson Lab, seals these as shows for the history books. Is there a more invigorating jazz singer that crossed over into pop than Dinah Washington?"
