Program Series

JazzPOP 2023

This summer JazzPOP celebrates its 16th season, inviting luminaries of West Coast jazz and creative improvised music to the Hammer courtyard for three concerts in August. The series’ 2023 edition features stellar ensembles led by three California bandleader-composers who explore a range of influences in their music: from bebop to indie rock and abstract grooves to non-Western musical sonorities.

Organized by San Francisco Bay Area bassist Lisa Mezzacappa.
