About this concert
This Mother’s Day, Powerhouse vocalist Destani Wolf brings her latest project Jazz Serenata—a performance filled with originals, jazz standards, Latin vibes and soul filled energy —to the Bach. She is joined by preeminent and 7-time grammy nominee percussionist John Santos!
Wolf has been celebrated by Jazz Times as one of the “West Coast’s most inventive vocalists…also an accomplished improviser.” Known for her genre-defying sound, effortless vocal range, and authentic lyrics, she regularly performs with the legendary Bobby McFerrin and has been featured on three Grammy-nominated albums. With over 40 album credits, Destani has collaborated with artists like John Santos, Oscar Hernandez, John Cale, Jose Rizo’s Mongorama, The Pharcyde and more. Her journey spans global tours as Cirque du Soleil’s lead vocalist in BAZZAR and innovative collaborations with the Bandaloop Aerial Dance Company.
Raised in Berkeley on her parents’ soul and Latin records and the Bay’s rich music culture, Destani developed her unique Cali-soul sound, enriched by time in Mexico where she connected with her heritage through ranchera classics, further deepened her artistry. Back in the Bay, she refined her voice in the underground hip-hop, jazz, and blues scene. Her career has seen her perform and record worldwide, supporting legends like Seal, Zap Mama, Taj Mahal, Talib Kweli, Seu Jorge and more.
Destani Wolf – Vocals; John Santos – Percussion; Kai Lyons – Guitar; Chloe Scott Jones– Flute; Ian McArdle – Piano; Geoff Brennan – Bass; Josh Jones – Drums

“Destani Wolf drops a soulmatic cut on us with “Nothing But The Best”… It’s a formidable offering, tapping into the heartbreak funk of masterpieces like Marvin/Leon Ware‘s I Want You for a refreshing update on the blues tradition…” - Okay Player
“The thrush creating waves…” “She’s a cross between Nina Simone and Janis Joplin.” - San Francisco Chronicle
“Wolf is an accomplished improviser… (who’s) equally effective belting out R&B as employing extended vocal techniques that can sound like a scratching turntable or a slide trombone.” - Los Angeles Times
“…the band is in especially fine form when backing the sweet and Powerful voice of Destani Wolf” - Downbeat Magazine
