Meyhouse & Meyhouse Jazz Club

Modern jazz is not just one style — at its best, it brings together different traditions, sounds, and creative approaches. Patrick Wolff’s Modern/Classic All-Star Quartet celebrates that spirit with original compositions and arrangements rooted in the energy, lyricism, and swing of classic 1950s and 1960s jazz.

Led by saxophonist and clarinetist Patrick Wolff, the quartet features a remarkable lineup of modern jazz artists. Wolff has been an important voice in both the New York City and San Francisco jazz scenes, known for his lyrical playing and wide-ranging work across bebop, hard bop, and free music.

The evening also features acclaimed pianist Edward Simon, a longtime member of the SFJAZZ Collective, whose playing is known for its virtuosity, emotional depth, and connection to Latin American musical traditions. Drummer Mark Ferber brings inventive swing and rhythmic imagination from the jazz scenes of New York and Los Angeles, while bassist and composer Alan Jones adds fresh energy, technique, and creativity as an emerging voice from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Join us for an inspired evening of modern jazz that honors the classic tradition while looking boldly forward.
