Each fall and spring SFJAZZ presents a Members-only Listening
Party, where featured musicians play excerpts from their
favorite recordings and share their insights on the music. Listening
Parties are a great way to get a behind-the-scenes perspective on
the music and musicians in an intimate setting. As a benefit of
membership, SFJAZZ members are entitled to two free tickets to each
Listening Party. Become a member
today!
