Kenny Garrett live in San Francisco

Experience Kenny Garrett live on December 11th

Kenny Garrett is scheduled to perform at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco on December 11, 2026. Garrett is an American jazz alto saxophonist and composer known for his post-bop playing, heavily influenced by John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley, yet distinctly his own. His style incorporates elements of funk, Latin rhythms, and blues, characterized by virtuosic improvisation, a bright tone, and complex harmonic explorations. Throughout his career, he has led numerous ensembles and released critically acclaimed albums, establishing himself as a prominent figure in contemporary jazz.

The SFJAZZ Center, which opened in 2013, is a leading jazz performance venue and education center. Located in the SoMa district of San Francisco, it was designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates and boasts three distinct performance spaces: the Robert N. Miner Auditorium (800 seats), the Betty Cantor-James Theater (100 seats), and Joe Henderson Lab (120 seats). The Center serves as the home base for SFJAZZ, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting jazz music through concerts, education programs, and artist residencies.
