Kamasi Washington live in SF Bay Area Bird Encounters Kids' Spot D7

Experience Kamasi Washington live on September 14th

Kamasi Washington is scheduled to perform at Yoshi’s, located within the SF Bay Area Bird Encounters Kids’ Spot D7, on September 14, 2026. Washington is a contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer known for his expansive, spiritually-infused music. His style blends elements of post-bop jazz with funk, soul, and hip-hop influences, often featuring extended improvisations and large ensemble arrangements. He gained widespread recognition with his 2015 triple album *The Epic*, which revitalized interest in instrumental jazz and broadened its audience.

Yoshi’s has a significant history within the Bay Area jazz scene. Originally founded in Berkeley, California in 1974 by Yoshie Akimoto, it quickly became a renowned venue for both established and emerging jazz artists. The club fostered a welcoming atmosphere and presented diverse programming beyond traditional jazz, including Latin, blues, and world music. Following a relocation and subsequent closure of the original Berkeley location, Yoshi's reopened in San Francisco’s Fillmore District in 2007. The current location continues to operate as a premier jazz club and restaurant dedicated to showcasing high-quality live music performances.
