Be sure to arrive early for a pre-show conversation between Michael Wolff and Kuumbwa’s Artistic Director Tim Jackson about Wolff’s recent memoir “On That Note: A Memoir of Jazz, Tics, and Survival.”

After a miraculous triumph over a four-year battle with a rare form of misdiagnosed cancer, internationally renowned pianist/composer Michael Wolff continues to celebrate his incredible recovery and life on Memoir, his first studio album in four years, set for release on August 2, 2024, on Sunnyside Records.

Wolff is known for playing with a who’s who of jazz legends including Cal Tjader, Cannonball Adderly, Sonny Rollins, Nancy Wilson (he was also her musical director), Christian McBride, and so many more. In pop culture, he’s best known for his five-year run as the musical director and bandleader for Arsenio Hall on the star’s award-winning, late night TV talk show.

The Michael Wolff Quartet on this concert date will feature guitarist Ray Obiedo, bassist Essiet Essiet, and drummer Akira Tana.
