Nitzan Gavrieli live in San Francisco

Experience Nitzan Gavrieli live on May 14th

Nitzan Gavrieli will perform at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco on May 14, 2027. Gavrieli is an Israeli-born bassist and composer known for a distinctive style blending jazz improvisation with influences from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean musical traditions. His work often incorporates microtonal scales and rhythmic complexities drawn from Arabic maqam and other regional forms, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and forward-looking. He frequently performs solo, utilizing extended techniques on the bass guitar to create layered, evocative soundscapes.

The SFJAZZ Center, which opened in 2013, is a leading jazz performance venue and educational institution. It is located in the SoMa district of San Francisco and features the Robert N. Miner Auditorium, a 282-seat performance space designed with acoustics specifically tailored for jazz. The Center was conceived as a permanent home for SFJAZZ, an organization founded in 1972 dedicated to promoting jazz music through performances, education programs, and artist support. Beyond concerts, the SFJAZZ Center hosts workshops, masterclasses, and residencies aimed at fostering the next generation of jazz musicians and audiences.
