Listening Party w/ Jake Shimabukuro

About

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. This Listening Party features “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele,” Jake Shimabukuro in an intimate conversation. We’ll discuss his distinctive approach to the instrument, the influences that shape his music, and the blend of holiday classics and signature favorites at the heart of his seasonal program. Don’t miss Jake Shimabukuro live at SFJAZZ, December 3-6, 2026. *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.
