Beyond the Beat with Brian Collier at B-Side

Midweek is when a good room earns its keep. Beyond the Beat, billed as "A Celebration of True Music" and hosted by Brian Collier, takes over B-Side at Blue Note Los Angeles on Wednesday night, October 21, 2026. It is listed as a jazz show, and it is the kind of late set that belongs on any shortlist of live music Los Angeles has to offer when you want something other than a big-room production.

When: Wednesday, October 21, 2026, 10:00 PM Where: B-Side at Blue Note Los Angeles, 6374-B Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles Price: $18.8-$24.46 Tickets: TicketWeb, linked below

What to expect

The listing gives the title, the host and the genre, and not much else, so this is a night to go in curious. Brian Collier hosts, and the billing frames the evening around music played for its own sake. That usually means a relaxed, listening-first crowd rather than a standing-room party. The late 10:00 PM start suggests a set that settles in after dinner and runs into the night.

B-Side is the smaller room attached to the Blue Note brand, so expect something closer and more intimate than a typical theater show. If you like to see musicians up close and hear the room breathe between songs, this format is built for you.

Tickets and planning

Listed prices run from $18.8 to $24.46, which is on the gentle end for concerts in Los Angeles at a named jazz venue. The range likely reflects ticket tiers and fees, so check the TicketWeb page for the final amount at checkout before you commit. The event page is the only source we have for this one, so confirm the lineup and doors time there too, since a host-led night can add guests or shift timing.

Getting there

The address is on Sunset Boulevard, which gets busy in the evening. Give yourself extra time for parking, or use a rideshare so you can stay for the whole set. Because it is a Wednesday, traffic should ease after the commute window, but late-night street parking rules vary block by block, so read the signs.

If you are filling out your week, browse more LA concerts in the concerts category or see what else is on in the downtown neighborhood page. A weeknight jazz set is an easy way to break up the routine, and at these prices it will not strain the budget.

Doors, set times and any added guests are up to the venue, so treat the TicketWeb listing as the final word and go with an open ear.
