Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra will be performing in Los Angeles, California on August 26, 2026. The ensemble is known for its unique blend of jazz, particularly drawing from the traditions of mid-century modern jazz and bossa nova, alongside elements of funk and improvisation.

Los Angeles has a long and significant history with jazz music. During the early to mid-20th century, Central Avenue in South Los Angeles became a thriving hub for jazz clubs and musicians, fostering a vibrant scene that attracted talent from across the country. This era saw the development of West Coast jazz, characterized by its lighter tone and emphasis on melodic improvisation compared to East Coast styles. While the Central Avenue scene diminished over time, Los Angeles continues to host numerous jazz venues and festivals, maintaining its legacy as a key center for the genre. The city’s film industry also contributed to popularizing jazz through soundtracks and performances.
