SFJAZZ Hotplate
A low-cost series showcasing the exciting Bay Area jazz scene, SFJAZZ Hotplate occurs on the second Thursday of each month at the Amnesia Bar in the Mission district. Each show features a local artist re-imagining the music of a jazz legend. Recently, a new component called Front Burner has been added, featuring SFJAZZ Director of Education Rebeca Mauleón leading a multi-media discussion about the jazz icon of the night.
