With jazz ranging from dixieland to straight ahead to Latin, come experience the finest Central Coast jazz musicians performing their craft. All shows located by Pottery Barn and Sephora near Osos and Higuera on the Terrace by Court Street. All shows are from 12:30PM to 2:30PM and occur every other Saturday.
We are incredibly thrilled to present the 2021 LIVE JAZZ at the Upside, sponsored by the San Luis Obispo Collection. The Upside Court Street Summer Jazz series returns with four LIVE JAZZ summer shows featuring world-class jazz artists to celebrate jazz in all its artistry and imagination. LIVE JAZZ at the Upside gives San Luis Obispo residents a reason to stay in town, and yet another perfect reason for tourists to visit San Luis Obispo during the summer.
