DESCRIPTION:A Bay Area tradition since 2000\, the Annual Night of Jazz brin
 gs together prominent performers and composers of jazz with CSU East Bay s

  for future CSU East Bay students to study jazz. This year's special guest
  artist is Bay Area native and NBC's Saturday Night Live Band Leader Lenny
  Pickett.\n\nBay Area native (Berkeley\, CA) Lenny Pickett and New York Un

 Tower of Power was the dominant session horn group\, cutting their own suc

 80s\, then made a solo release as a leader. He has also worked as a saxoph
 onist and an arranger for artists including David Bowie\, The Talking Head
