I made r/sandiegojazzscene a couple years ago, after seeing people ask every few months “where can I see live?”

It hasn’t exactly caught on yet, but I try to keep it updated with current jam sessions and venues. And so far, I’m the only one posting specific shows.

I wish other people would too, cuz fuck Meta & TikTok

Here is a live performance by Everything Yes from Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA on 9/12/2026 to promote their 3rd album Volume 3. The band came back for the 2nd year in a row, and they played for the sold out crowd. Another great one!

David is a member of Samara Joy's septet. This song is from his solo album "Big Pleasure" released in 2024.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some contemporary players (or overlooked/not obvious 20th-century ones) who are operating in that kind of "soul-country-jazz" territory that Keith Jarrett can get into sometimes.

I've spent some time researching this on my own, and [read Ethan Iverson on Keith Jarrett](https://ethaniverson.com/shades-of-jazz-keith-jarrett-charlie-haden-paul-motian-dewey-redman/). He identifies Vince Guaraldi and Ramsey Lewis on influences on Jarrett's gospel-y sounds, but their stuff isn't QUITE what I'm looking for.

Really it might just be Keith's "Catholic school boy shit" as Miles [reportedly once called it](https://londonjazznews.com/2020/08/27/miles-davis-the-lost-septet-from-1971/), but I guess if I had to triangulate a sound that *didn't* involve Keith, it might something between like, [Floyd Kramer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X08orJN4oJw), [Hargus Robbins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYIi0rAc5yc), Ramsey Lewis, and like, Ray Charles' playing on his "country" records?

I did really like [this record from Binker Golding](https://binkergolding.bandcamp.com/album/dream-like-a-dogwood-wild-boy) that brings in some cool Americana touches like slide guitar, but I was hoping to get some new recommendations from y'all -- thanks!

Edit: I am familiar with Western swing, probably should have used “Americana” more than country as a descriptor but regardless thanks all!

Some really great shows this year. It will be my first time going. I'm planning on going to both Marathon Nights, COLLECTIVE RESONANCE @ Good Room and William Parker 75 Birthday Celebration @ Roulette.

How about everyone else? What shows are you looking forward to seeing?

Hi. I'm looking for groups that sound a little close to marcus gilmore last recording (journey to the new live on village vanguard). I see some chick corea influences from the time marcus gilmore played with him but it feels much modern and i don't feel like i can see a lot of people playing in this modern "fusion" maybe closer to the modern jazz than to fusion. Do you guys know something that also get's in this eletronic aproach without backbeats and with that modern "unsettling" style?
I would apreciate if you guys could help me here
