A Salute to Toots Thielemans @ Herbst Theatre in San Francisco
Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 8pm 
>$25-$65
With Toots Thielemans recently taken ill, longtime cohorts Kenny Werner and 
Oscar Castro-Neves will perform in tribute to the jazz legend, 
accompanied by a pair of fellow luminaries â one a red-hot young 
harmonica star who is the heir apparent to Toots, and the other a 
pivotal figure at the heart of the Brazilian jazz revolution.
36-year old Swiss harmonica master GrÃgoire Maret has charted a stellar career 
with jazz greats like Pat Metheny, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock and 
Cassandra Wilson. His many collaborators include George Benson, Kurt 
Elling, Mike Stern, Richard Bona, Sting, Prince, Elton John and even the grand master, Toots Thielemans, himself.
Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira is a true musical icon, having recorded and performed with Miles Davis, Weather Report, Chick Coreaâs Return to 
Forever and countless others. For over four decades he has maintained a 
musical partnership with wife and vocalist Flora Purim, and has released two dozen albums as a leader.
