Celebrate L.A.’s finest jazz musicians with Jazz at LACMA, presented Friday evenings from May through October.
This week, join us for a concert with the Henry “Skipper” Franklin Band.
For over 60 years, legendary bassist, composer, band leader and author Henry “Skipper” Franklin has been thrilling audiences around the world. Franklin first garnered widespread attention playing on South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela’s 1968 hit "Grazin' in the Grass" before establishing himself as a leading West Coast funk and jazz player. He’s recorded with such luminaries as Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard and Hampton Hawes and more recently released Jazz is Dead 014 with Adrian Younge and producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
Jazz at LACMA is free and open to all. Seating is limited and first come, first served. Visitors are encouraged to wear face masks in all indoor spaces including restrooms.
