Branford Marsalis Quartet at Penn Live Arts

Saxophonist Branford Marsalis, an NEA Jazz Master and multiple Grammy® Award-winner, returns to our stage alongside his longtime quartet – pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Justin Faulkner. “A model of daring, unapologetic artistry for the past three decades,” (Jazziz Magazine) this unparalleled group is revered for its kaleidoscopic range of original compositions and inventive interpretations of jazz classics. On the heels of its first release in six years, the quartet will perform music from this acclaimed new record, Belonging, a reimagining of a 1974 album of the same name by Keith Jarrett’s European Quartet.

Coffee and Jazz Sunday

Join Faculty Fellow Matt Neff in the Lounge on Thirteen for pour-over coffee, tea, and snacks—set to the crackle of jazz records, with relaxed vibes and good energy in community. The Lounge On Thirteen: Perched high above campus on Harrison’s 13th floor, this student-designed lounge is a calm retreat for creativity, focus, and connection. Outfitted with a record player, CD player, and tape deck, chalkboards, art supplies, and games, the space invites students to slow down, unplug, and make it their own. Monthly events, such as “Jazz & Coffee,” “Classical & Coloring,” and “Tie Dye & Dreams,” offer shared experiences, while the room remains open for everyday relaxation, study, or self-programmed gatherings. Whether you’re sketching, studying, coding, listening to vinyl, or sharing ideas, the lounge is your sanctuary in the sky. Press Play. Unplug. Imagine.
