Experience Paul Cornish live on September 10th

Paul Cornish will perform at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco on September 10, 2026. Cornish is a British-born, American-based jazz trumpeter and composer known for a style that blends post-bop improvisation with elements of contemporary classical music and world music influences, particularly those of India. His work frequently features complex harmonic structures and extended techniques on the trumpet, often exploring microtonal possibilities. He has released several albums as a leader and sideman, garnering critical acclaim for his innovative approach to jazz performance and composition.

The SFJAZZ Center, which opened in 2013, is a leading jazz performance venue and education center.

Miner Auditorium, an 800-seat performance space renowned for its sound quality, as well as smaller rehearsal spaces and educational facilities. SFJAZZ itself is a non-profit organization founded in 1972 dedicated to advancing the art of jazz through performances, education programs, and advocacy.
