Step into the SFJAZZ “living room” and hear artists and tastemakers spinning their favorite recordings while in conversation. Listening Parties offer listeners the chance to get behind-the- scenes and hear about music from the artist’s perspective. The format is an on-stage conversation in the Robert N. Miner Auditorium, accompanied by the artist’s pick of recorded, and sometimes live, excerpts. The conversation closes with questions from the audience followed by a reception with complimentary drinks and bites.
This Listening Party features Snarky Puppy bandleader, bassist, composer and SFJAZZ 2025-26 Season Resident Artistic Director Michael League in conversation with SFJAZZ Director of Digital Ross Eustis. Hear insightful stories about League's SFJAZZ residency, his growing number of projects, his label GroundUP, the state of jazz and music today and more. Don’t miss Michael League live at SFJAZZ, January 29-February 1.
