Fall Culture Travel :: A Paler Shade Of Blue in SF

Cold, rainy fall days make for the best culture travel. So over the next few weeks we're mapping the upcoming shows to see.

Take your jazz with a side of fog this year at the 25th Anniversary San Francisco Jazz Festival, which runs October 17 through November 30. Yes, even the Bay Area can have the blues, but with artists like Cuban swingster Issac Delgado and sitar master Ravi Shankar, there's way more to it than just the 12-bar.

Pick up your tickets now for sure-to-sell-out acts like Dr. John's night of zydeco and the genre-crossing Kronos Quartet. Since the festival runs for weeks, it's happening at venues all over the city. Places like the Herbst Theatre and the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre are worth seeing in their own right--all the better if top-notch jazz is part of the program.
