Duke Heitger
and Butch Thompson
June 19 — Duke Heitger and Butch Thompson’s New Orleans Wanderers
We open our season with the crowd–pleasing sounds of Duke Heitger and Butch Thompson’s New Orleans Wanderers. The foundation of the Wanderers is Duke’s hot and sweet trumpeting, combined with Butch’s super–human piano technique. Throw in the delightful singer Topsy Chapman along with other top–flight musicians as spice, and you have an award–winning gumbo for sure. Duke, Butch and Topsy are all veterans of many National Public Radio appearances. This show is a guaranteed blockbuster and a perfect Father’s Day experience!
“Heitger's Armstrong–inspired trumpet, brash leads (makes) music that swings happily, compulsively, and convincingly.”
–Stuart Broomer, Amazon.com
“Where an almost superhuman technique is required, Thompson takes no back seat to anyone - even to [Jelly Roll] Morton himself.”
–Star Tribune, Minneapolis

Terry Disley
July 10 — Terry Disley— A Tribute to Dave Brubeck & Vince Guaraldi
Terry Disley is an internationally–acclaimed pianist, keyboardist, composer, arranger and two–time Grammy Award nominee. For Filoli, Terry has pulled out all the stops to pay tribute to two great Bay Area jazz pianists — Dave Brubeck and Vince Guaraldi. The first weekend after the 4th of July is a fitting time to celebrate these two great American legends. And, if we ask nicely, I am sure Terry and his band will impress us with a few of his own jazz compositions as well.
“I was most impressed with his piano playing.” –Tony Bennett
“Thank you for your beautifully chosen notes.” –Sir Michael Tilson Thomas

Dick Hyman
July 31 — Dick Hyman
We bring to Filoli a National jazz treasure, Dick Hyman. Throughout a rich musical career, Hyman has functioned as pianist, organist, arranger, music director and composer. That versatility has resulted in film scores, orchestral compositions, concert appearances and more than 100 albums. Dick is famous for his mastery of many piano styles …rag, stride, swing, great American songbook, even classical and pop. With Dick playing at his peak at age 84, this is sure to be a most special concert. As a bonus, Riverwalk Jazz legend Jim Cullum will join in with a first–rate accompanying band.
“An extraordinary pianist in total command of a magnificent instrument.”
–Jazz Times
“(Hyman) brings a vast array of technical dexterity, historical overview and sheer whimsicality to virtually everything he touches.”
–Los Angeles Times

Sophie Milman
August 14 — Sophie Milman
Sophie Milman took the musical world by storm with her debut album, topping jazz charts in the US, Canada, Japan and France, and packing some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and concert halls. Her second album earned Sophie a Juno award, Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy. She continued to earn critical acclaim with her third album, Take Love Easy. With her fourth album slated for release this fall, this Russian–born, Israel–raised, Canadian chanteuse will bring to Filoli her own multi–cultural jazz sensibility, and do so with style, grace and sophistication well beyond her 28 years.
“Sophie Milman inspired the sold–out (Blue Note) house to cheer.” –New York Post
“Gaga Over Milman. Top–selling Canadian jazz diva puts music first.” –The Ottawa Citizen

Scott Hamilton
August 28 — Scott Hamilton Quintet
Scott Hamilton is one of the world’s premier ‘mainstream’ saxophonists. A consummate interpreter of standards, Hamilton’s golden tenor saxophone hints at influences to players of the late swing era such as Ben Webster and Lester Young. But his big, warm tone and unerring sense of swing make every tune uniquely his own. He performs music he loves — great ballads and blues, played from the heart. His fans around the world wouldn’t have it any other way…nor would we. Scott, who lives in Italy, will be joined with a high–energy rhythm section players from New York City, Paul Keller (bass) and Chuck McPherson (drums), plus locally based phenomenal guest singer Jackie Ryan, saxophonist Noel Jewkes, and pianist arranger Larry Vuckovich.
What a terrific show this is going to be!
“A first–rate jazz soloist who never disappoints.” –Jazz Times
“Hamilton’s tone is as honeyed as ever.” –BBC

John Pizzarelli
September 18 — John Pizzarelli
The San Francisco Chronicle called the Pizzarelli family “the First Family of Cool,” and The New Yorker magazine called them “the von Trapps on Martinis.” In 2009, senior member Bucky Pizzarelli dazzled our Filoli audience. Now, his son John Pizzarelli will do the same. John is a world–renowned guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, bandleader, and performer. His latest release, Rockin’ In Rhythm, showcases John’s incredible interpretation of the enduring work of Duke Ellington. For Filoli, New York City–based John will bring his highly talented rhythm trio of players, including John’s brother Martin Pizzarelli playing bass. What better way to end our season than by having John Pizzarelli knock one out of the park.
“Never miss a chance to see John Pizzarelli.” –Rex Reed, New York Observer
“Madly creative.” –Los Angeles Times

You may check in as early as 11:00 am when Filoli opens. Check–in for Jazz Concerts happens on the Visitor and Education Center landing where you are given a numbered sticker: 100 or 200 or 300, etc. This number will determine the time at which you will be allowed to enter the tennis court.
