Terence Blanchard, SFJAZZ's executive artistic director, is reshaping the San Francisco Jazz Festival, which has lost significance since the opening of the SFJAZZ Center. Scheduled for June 13-15, the festival will feature around thirty acts across multiple stages and aims to engage the community like never before. Blanchard looks to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as a model, emphasizing the importance of involvement from the neighborhood. His vision also includes collaborations with other organizations to broaden SFJAZZ's cultural impact.
The entire neighborhood should be involved. It's time to think outside the box.
Blanchard aims to reinvent the festival, taking inspiration from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival to galvanize San Francisco.
