I am a Sacramento fan that pre-pandemic had to figure my transportation costs in on what to see and usually found the costs beyond my budget unless I could piece together a day in the City. A weeknight concert was not feasible. Pre-pandemic, I would occasionally watch Jazz at Lincoln Center events online. After the launch of SFJAZZ Fridays at Five, I became a one-time member and then with the Saturday encores, became a monthly member. I know I can add a few bucks and pick up anything I miss, and appreciated having an easy way to contribute to the fund for Wayne Shorter. As a musician, I like the ability to rewind here and there. I think the artist selection does well in building an audience for jazz, and the choices are a super-smart way to compete with JALC, at least online.

SF Jazz continued to reach its audiences through the pandemic with Fridays at Five looking to keep itself alive as well as getting money into artist’s pockets. And still, after reopening with live performances, has kept the program vibrant with Fridays at 7:30p when they could have shut it down to get bodies in seats versus this cheaper version of seeing concerts online. Such an incredible organization spreading the music. This app works great on my iPad and Apple TV to view the digital concerts. Highly recommend using it for the online concerts and more. Proud to be a member. Support this organization!!

Bravo to SF Jazz for figuring out a way to increase their membership and viewership for those of us who are not based in San Francisco. As a lifelong jazz fan, I truly appreciate the ability to watch the shows, which I would otherwise not be able to do. I feel it’s the best investment I make on an annual basis, by far. Annual membership isn’t even the cost of a single performance ticket. The video and audio are superb, affording me a “Great seat “ at every At Home show. I will continue to support this program and this app.

This is a nice app for watching SF Jazz recordings, but it is frustrating that it doesn't do more, like allow you to purchase tickets and then automatically update your calendar, like Eventbrite does. Also, I didn't like that the app requested access to my contacts or location - this seems Facebook level invasive and there's no remotely legit reason to request this access. Why would SF Jazz be seeking to collect that info? One more suggestion: the app should automatically put the location of events (at SF Jazz) that it's creating in your calendar as SF Jazz, instead of leaving it blank for you to fill in. But all in all, a nice looking app with beautiful visuals. Thank you SF Jazz for all you do for your fans!
