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 SFJAZZ Executive Artistic Director Terence Blanchard in conversation with acclaimed Bay Area journalist Andrew Gilbert. They will be discussing everything from his E-Collective band, his experience performing with legends like Herbie Hancock and Art Blakey, future artistic plans for SFJAZZ, and much more. Terence Blanchard’s E-Collective with Turtle Island Quartet performs at SFJAZZ, January 23-26, 2025.
Listening Parties are complimentary to all current SFJAZZ Members. Ticket(s) must be reserved online. Members may bring one additional guest for free. Premium seating will be reserved for Leaders Circle Members. Also, please note that if you are unable to attend, the Listening Party will be live-streamed.
