Experience Ben Wolfe live on November 6th

Ben Wolfe is a bassist and composer recognized for his deeply rooted approach to jazz, drawing heavily from the traditions of Charles Mingus and Paul Chambers while incorporating elements of blues, gospel, and modern improvisation. His work frequently features original compositions alongside interpretations of classic jazz standards, often showcasing his virtuosic bass playing and strong melodic sense. He leads the Ben Wolfe Quartet, known for its dynamic interplay and soulful sound.

The performance is scheduled at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco on November 6, 2026. The SFJAZZ Center, which opened in 2013, is a leading jazz performance venue and education center. It was designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates and boasts two primary performance spaces: the Robert N. Miner Auditorium, seating approximately 400 people, and the Joe Henderson Lab, a more intimate club-style setting.

SFJAZZ itself was founded in 1972 as a presenter of jazz concerts; the Center represents a significant expansion of its mission to support jazz artists and provide educational opportunities. The organization is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and advancing jazz as a living art form.
