Stern Grove, 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard, San Francisco

Stern Grove Festival welcomed back the world renowned Preservation Hall Jazz Band for an afternoon of New Orleans music and memories. Co-founder Sandra Jaffe was in attendance for this concert. She has since passed down the musical legacy to her son and current director, Ben Jaffe. 

Bringing her brassy vocals to serenade Stern Grove, the Bay Area's favorite jazz diva Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers opened the show, incorporating blues, New Orleans R&B, salsa, jump blues, swing, and bebop into their infectious sound.

Today’s performance is made possible with support from the Rhoda H. Goldman Memorial Fund and is dedicated to the memory of Rhoda H. Goldman, Festival Chair from 1968 to 1996.
