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, taking a deep dive into her week of residency that 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.
