San Francisco-based bassist Marcus Shelby has a deep and prestigious résumé. His work spans many genres, including jazz, blues, opera and scoring for the stage. His latest release, the soundtrack Harriet Tubman: Through the Eyes of Children, continues with a multidisciplinary approach, applying musical vision to a story connecting the celebrated hero and abolitionist with modern struggles for equality and justice. This live Stanford Jazz Workshop performance will feature new music from Shelby’s Variations on a Variant, his musical response to changes wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic.
