About this concert
Resident Artistic Director Howard Wiley’s second season includes a pair of nights in the Joe Henderson Lab with many special guests. Please check the website for updates.
ABOUT HOWARD WILEY:
Having been mentored by Bay Area great Jules Broussard and sharing formative bandstand experiences with the likes of Clark Terry, Jason Moran, Orrin Evans, and Lauryn Hill, Berkeley-born saxophonist and composer Howard Wiley is a constant presence on SFJAZZ stages and venues around the country as both a bandleader and collaborator with former Tower of Power and Santana organist Chester Thompson, Ethio-folk vocalist Meklit, and as drummer with jump-blues chanteuse Lavay Smith’s Red Hot Skillet Lickers. He’s released a trio of masterful solo recordings, including two that were inspired by Dr. Harry Orster’s famous field recordings of spirituals performed by Angola Penitentiary inmates in the 1950s, and has performed SFJAZZ Hotplate tributes to Ornette Coleman and Coleman Hawkins.

Was für eine Powerfrau! China Moses macht nicht nur vielfältige und bewegende Music, sie ist auch eine wunderbare Entertainerin und nimmt uns mit ihren Liedern und Geschichten mit auf eine Reise zum Mensch sein.
Ich durfte ein fantastisches Konzert erleben, bei dem auch ihre wunderbare Band gezeigt hat, was sie alles drauf haben.
Ich freue mich schon auf's nächste Mal, wenn ich diese großartige Künstlerin wieder erleben darf!!

China Moses Biography
Singer, songwriter and producer China Moses evolves her artistry in truth. Defiantly real, her
music resists what so many labels and critics desire: category, drawing inspiration from endless
styles in the expansive lineage of Black American music. And listeners fortunate to observe her
in live performance know the depth of her song interpretation.
She has issued seven leader releases and, in 2008, founded her own production company
MadeInChina, home to her most recent leader releases This One’s for Dinah (2009), Crazy Blues
(2012), Nightintales (2017) and & the Vibe Tribe EP (2021).
Provocative as her musical experiences, China’s broadcasting resumé currently features host-
producer positions at celebrated radio shows “Made in China” on TSF Jazz (France) and “Late
Night with China Moses” On Jazz FM (UK). She’s one of few women of color to host multiple
radio shows across European and UK airwaves.
The self-dubbed high school dropout has been an artist her entire life. Daughter of legendary
activist and director Gilbert Moses III and internationally acclaimed musician Dee Dee
Bridgewater, China understands the music and its surrounding culture from the inside out. The
Los Angeles-born artist turned life-long Parisian has performed all over the world and appeared
on international television and film projects, including cult episode of “Moesha”: Songs in the
Key of Strife, Julie Delpy’s “Lolo,” “The Princess and the Frog” (VO in French), Aurore
Aubin’s “Sammy by Sammy” (VO) and “The Lion King 2019 The Circle of Life” (VO in
French). China’s theatre credits include “Sally Bowles” in Cabaret and “Billie Holiday” in Cafe
Society Swing.
A global artist and citizen, China has performed in more than 800 shows across six continents in
the past 12 years. She has appeared at Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz Café, Barbican Centre and Royal
Albert Hall in London, Olympia, UNESCO International Jazz Day and La Cigale in Paris,
Vienna Konzerthaus, Bogota Philharmonic, Berlin Opernhaus, Elbphilharmonie and Dresdner
Philharmonie in Germany and Birdland, Dizzy’s, Summerstage and Nublu in New York City.
One of her hidden skills is that of powerhouse researcher — as a performing and recording artist,
a broadcast professional and an international educator. China’s commitment to authentic
representation and inclusive perspectives has garnered critical acclaim and peer
acknowledgment. She’s a member of the 2013 Young Leader graduating class of the French
American Foundation, in 2023 she was knighted in the French National Order of Merit and holds
the title Knight of St Emillion & Bergerac. She has lent her expertise as a mentor at the 2020
Montreux Jazz Academy and the 2023 MIDEM, she counseled the Villa Albertine.
She is also the co-founder and artistic director of the Tahiti Soul Jazz Festival & and founder and
artistic director of the Paris Soul Fest, dedicated to the homegrown French soul scene.
