SFJAZZ has announced its winter lineup for the Joe Henderson Lab, the 100-seat room on the ground floor of the SFJAZZ Center at 201 Franklin St. in San Francisco. Shows run from December 2026 through February 2027, BroadwayWorld reported. The lineup also comes with a new pay-what-you-wish ticketing model for the Lab's general admission shows.
How pay-what-you-wish works
Audiences pick the ticket price that works for them, and higher tiers support the nonprofit's mission. On SFJAZZ's event pages, the Kassa Overall and David Murray Quartet shows are listed at $35 to $55, with two sets a night. Tickets went on sale Saturday, Oct. 24, at sfjazz.org.
