SFJAM: Free Community Jam Session

SFJAZZ Center

Hailing from the Bay Area’s first family of jazz, multi-instrumentalist Smith Dobson V returns to the JHL to perform the adventurous music from pianist Keith Jarrett’s 1976 Impulse! date Shades.

Quickly becoming an annual tradition at SFJAZZ for Bay Area jazz fans of all ages, pianist Adam Shulman reprises his tribute to Bay Area jazz legend Vince Guaraldi and his beloved soundtrack to Charles Schulz’s 1965 holiday classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Join us for a joyful look and listen back as we get grooving and swinging to favorites including “Linus and Lucy” and “Christmas is Coming,” and celebrate the holidays with the entire family!
