Jazz Meets Gershwin Tickets

Jazz Meets Gershwin is best described as a compelling concert concept within the broader Jazz Roots umbrella. Rather than a fixed artist lineup, the project showcases rotating performers who reinterpret the timeless music of George and Ira Gershwin through a contemporary jazz lens. While not a standalone, ongoing solo act, Jazz Meets Gershwin has left a mark on major stages and festivals by pairing iconic Gershwin repertoire with top-tier jazz talent.

Key moments in its history highlight the adaptability and breadth of the concept: a 2011 Miami appearance as part of Jazz Roots, hosted by Michael Feinstein, featuring contributions from Dave Grusin, Mark O’Connor, Terence Blanchard, and Shelly Berg among others; and a Jerusalem 2011 performance of Porgy and Bess under the Jazz Meets Gershwin banner with Miles Griffith and Ya’alah Balin. These performances demonstrate how the concept can bring fresh interpretations to Gershwin’s catalog while maintaining the stylistic roots of jazz improvisation.

For fans and venues exploring live jazz with a classic American-songbook centerpiece, Jazz Meets Gershwin represents a flexible, performer-driven approach. As of the 2025–26 season, Jazz Roots lineups at venues like the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami are highlighted, though standalone Jazz Meets Gershwin programming may appear as part of collaborative Jazz Roots events rather than as a separate recurring show. If you’re planning to catch it, look for rotating lineups under the Jazz Roots umbrella at nearby jazz venues and cultural centers.

Upcoming appearances and tours follow a rotating model—each performance is anchored by masterful jazz interpreters of Gershwin’s repertoire.
