Original show description below.
Oakland-born bassist, singer, and producer Aneesa Strings makes her long-awaited debut as a leader with this performance to celebrate the release of her new album.
An alumna of the SFJAZZ High School All-Stars program, Strings has had a long relationship with the organization and has been a recognized leader in the music community from a young age. Inspired by her time spent living in Oakland, Los Angeles, Michigan, and New York City, she has become an internationally recognized artist through her work with José James, Duckwrth, Kandace Springs, Terrace Martin, and her performance with L.A. rapper Ill Camille on an NPR Tiny Desk concert.
As a composer, producer, and performer, she has recorded two critically acclaimed independent albums, A Shift in Paradigm from 2014 featuring her hit single “Simpin,” and 2019’s Ways with its single, “Lovealution.”
Strings’ career has come full circle from her high school days to being a respected bandleader and performing all over the world, and she was most recently seen at SFJAZZ as a guest of Christian McBride in 2017, with José James in June 2019, and in February 2023 as part of Kandace Springs’ superlative trio. She brings a hard-hitting band for this album release celebration.
