KSDS is announcing the next Jazz Live, Tuesday, October 10th. This showcase of the best of the West, returns with a big band concert featuring Gordon Goodwin (host of KSDS' Phat Tracks) and his Big Phat Band. Unfortunately, seats are not available if you did not reserve your spot during the Spring Pledge Drive. We will be offering another chance (for concerts between Feb-July of 2024) in December, during our year-end drive.

WHAT IS JAZZ LIVE?

Jazz Live concerts were launched at the Catamaran Hotel in the 1970’s. Some legendary names that were a part of this series back then included Buddy Collette, Duke Pearson (with his Big Band), Blue Mitchell, Joe Marillo, Stan Getz, Harold Land and Art Pepper. Our recent Jazz Live performances included names like Peter Erskine, Alan Broadbent, Tierney Sutton and Bobby Shew, to name a few. Here are some great photos of the recent Jazz Live performances courtesy of Larry Redman's Flickr page.

THE NEW JAZZ LIVE TICKET POLICY

KSDS-FM has launched a new ticket system for Jazz Live. Please see button below if you were able to secure Jazz Live seats from the last pledge drive. Again, unfortunately, seats are not available if you did not reserve your spot during the Spring Pledge Drive.
