Jazz Mafia Plays THRUST/HEADHUNTERS: A Herbie Hancock Tribute
Jazz Mafia is presenting an ambitious tribute to one of jazz’s most iconic contributors. We will perform Herbie’s “Thrust” and “Head Hunters” in their entirety. Both albums were recorded in San Francisco, with “Head Hunters” in 1973 and “Thrust” in 1974, and are definitive Jazz-Funk masterpieces that have influenced generations of musicians.
“Thrust” is celebrated for its fusion of jazz complexity with funk grooves and heavy backbeats, while “Head Hunters” revolutionized jazz fusion with its innovative sound. These albums have profoundly impacted the careers of the musicians involved and are beloved by Herbie’s audiences. If any crew can pull off this celebration of Herbie Hancock’s legacy, it’s this one. Join us for an evening of vibrant and innovative music that honors the 50th anniversary of both “Thrust” and “Head Hunters,” and celebrates the enduring legacy of Herbie Hancock.

Jazz Mafia ft. Tiffany Austin at The Sound Room
Part of our monthly residency at the Sound Room in 2025!
This event features Vocalist Tiffany Austin. Austin's music and voice draw upon influences such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, and Aretha Franklin, yet she also infuses songs with her own signature style that is precise, intelligent, and soulful.
Austin is becoming a national figure in her own right: an artist with a musical message as topical as an unsettling headline and as timeless as an Ella Fitzgerald ballad. Andy Gilbert
