Event Details

Stanford Jazz Festival returns for its 2026 season, bringing six weeks of world-class live music to the Stanford campus. For more than 50 years, the festival has hosted iconic artists including Joe Lovano, Stan Getz, and Fred Hersch—and this summer continues that tradition with 27 exceptional performances.

The 2026 lineup spans generations and styles, featuring pianist Billy Childs, vocalist Luciana Souza, Taylor Eigsti, George Cables, and more. Programs this season also celebrate jazz greats like Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, and Jimmy Heath.

Each concert offers a unique, intimate experience, with collaborations and performances you won’t hear anywhere else. From timeless standards to boundary-pushing new work, the Stanford Jazz Festival remains a hub for creativity, connection, and discovery.
