Jane Monheit "The Merriest" at Blue Note LA

Jazz vocalist Jane Monheit is bringing her holiday program, "The Merriest," to Blue Note Los Angeles two days before Christmas. If you are sorting through the best LA concerts of the season, an intimate jazz room on Sunset Boulevard is a far cry from a stadium singalong, and that is the appeal.

When: Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: $18.8-$44.21 through TicketWeb

Who is Jane Monheit

Monheit is a jazz singer known for a warm, controlled voice and a repertoire built on the great American songbook. She has long worked the club and concert-hall circuit. This outing pairs her with seasonal material, so expect a program of holiday standards delivered with a jazz singer's phrasing rather than a pop-radio approach.

What to expect at the Blue Note

Blue Note Los Angeles is a small, table-and-bar room with dinner and drink service and a close view of the stage. That makes it a good fit for a vocalist whose strength is nuance: you can hear the breath, the band and the room. If you are looking for live music Los Angeles audiences can sit down and settle into, this is the kind of night to book early, since the December calendar at the club fills up quickly.

TicketWeb carries two listings for this run, each with its own link, so check the one that matches the show time you want before you buy. Prices vary by seating area, which is why the range is wide. Confirm the specifics for your section on the ticket page.

Getting there

The club sits in the heart of Hollywood, which makes it an easy anchor for a night out. If you are collecting things happening in Hollywood this December, you can have dinner nearby before the show or stay for a drink afterward. Street parking is limited around Sunset, so plan on a paid lot or a rideshare, and give yourself extra time on a holiday-week evening when traffic runs heavier than usual.

Plan your night

Arrive close to doors if you want a good spot, since seating at the Blue Note is generally first-come within the area you purchase. Dress comfortably, bring a card and matching ID in case the venue asks for it, and treat it as an early holiday gift to yourself. You can read more about the room on its venue page, browse the concerts category or see more Hollywood events.
