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 2023-24 Resident Artistic Director Brandee Younger and bassist Rashaan Carter of her working trio discussing harp and jazz, her influences, and her week of residency, which includes music from her most recent Impulse! album Brand New Life and a tribute to the late harpist and jazz legend Alice Coltrane. Younger’s performances run March 7-10, 2024.
