Last month, the San Francisco Jazz Festival was the site of the world premiere of Glenn Kotche's Anomaly, which the composer performed together with Kronos Quartet. This month, two more Nonesuch artists join the festival's 25th anniversary celebration, when Caetano Veloso performs at the Nob Hill Masonic Center this Saturday, November 17, and Youssou N'Dour hits the stage for the festival's closing night, Friday, November 30.

Later this year, for a series of special winter concerts, SF Jazz presents two groups with ties to Nonesuch as well. On January 25, 2008, Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, the Bulgarian women's choir that released a Grammy-winning series of records on Nonesuch through the mid-'90s, and, the next night, Toumani Diabaté's pan-African Symmetric Orchestra, which released the triumphant Boulevard de l'Indépendence last year.
