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 acclaimed saxophonist, composer and SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director Ravi Coltrane in conversation discussing everything from his upcoming residency, the Coltrane family legacy and more. Ravi Coltrane performs at SFJAZZ, July 24-27, 2025.
