“I love this place. These old theaters are like musical instruments that should be preserved, and the Lobero is especially wonderful.” – Bill Frisell

Committed to bringing the finest jazz artists around as well as inspiring and growing audiences for jazz.

The Lobero Theatre has been Santa Barbara’s home for jazz beginning with 1949’s first-ever jazz performance by Nappy La Marre and the Dixie Land Bobcats. The Lobero’s 1957-58 calendar was brimming with jazz talent; vocalist Anita O’Day, saxophonist Bud Shank and the Pete Jolly Trio, GRAMMY® –winning vibraphonist Cal Tjader, and the ‘58 West Coast Jazz Festival. Vocalists Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae sold out their respective shows in 1962, and standout performances from the 1970’s included: Bobby Short (’72), McCoy Tyner (’77), Joe Pass (’77), Taj Majal (’78, ’79), Pat Metheny (’79, ’80), Keith Jarrett (’80, ’83). Dexter Gordon and Etta James performed together in 1980. 1981 witnessed gypsy jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, pianist Chick Corea, and NEA Jazzmaster Charles Lloyd in the first of many appearances on his home stage. Other highlights include: Dizzy Gillespie (’89), the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (’87, ’90 & ’93), and Taj Mahal (’88 & ’93).

As the Lobero became a favorite venue for both jazz fans–and jazz performers–a promising new future emerged. The annual Jazz at the Lobero series was born from this passion for jazz, and continues today thanks to your help.Photos by David Bazemore
