Special Free Broadcast & Fundraiser
Donations of $50+ will receive a complimentary 1-year Digital Membership.
The SFJAZZ Gala 2026 livestream is sponsored by Tim Dattels and Kristine Johnson.
Join us on May 7, 2026, for a free livestream of our largest fundraiser, Milestones: Celebrating Miles & Trane at 100—a celebratory evening honoring the centennials of Miles Davis and John Coltrane — two visionaries who changed the course of music forever.
The 2026 SFJAZZ Gala will also honor guitar icon George Benson with the SFJAZZ Lifetime Achievement Award, celebrating his innovation and lasting influence on generations of musicians and fans.
The concert will feature live performances by Gala honoree George Benson and SFJAZZ Executive Artistic Director Terence Blanchard along with our own SFJAZZ Collective and special guests including bass greats Christian McBride, Richard Bona, and Marcus Miller, saxophonists Lakecia Benjamin and Tia Fuller, pianist Randy Waldman, trumpeter Keyon Harrold, guitarist Isaiah Sharkey, and more.
All proceeds support SFJAZZ’s artistic, digital, and education initiatives, helping to nurture new generations of musicians and expand the reach of jazz throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
