Robert Glasper Holiday Residency at Blue Note LA

Robert Glasper does not do a straight jazz night, and a holiday residency at Blue Note Los Angeles is a good excuse to see how he handles one. The pianist and producer has spent his career blurring jazz with R&B, hip-hop and gospel, and a multi-night run in a Hollywood club is about the closest you get to him in a room this size. If you are sorting through concerts in Los Angeles for December, this one belongs on the shortlist.

When: Starting Thursday, December 10, 2026 (showtime is on the ticket page) Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: Through TicketWeb (price is listed on the ticket page)

What to expect

A residency means several shows rather than one, and ticket sellers have posted more than one page for it, so the run likely covers more than one night or seating. We could not confirm the full list of dates, the set times or the lineup beyond Glasper himself, so treat the ticket pages as the final word. What you can count on is a bandleader who is known for stretching a tune, bringing in guests and reshaping a standard until it sounds like something new. For anyone who likes their live music in Los Angeles close to the stage, the intimacy of a club is the whole point.

The room

Blue Note sits on Sunset at the corner of Ivar, where Largo used to be, and runs tables across the front with a long bar down the side. The venue says doors usually open at 5 PM for 7 PM shows and at 9 PM for 9:30 PM shows, with seating first come, first served within the area you bought. Table seating is all ages, while the bar requires guests to be 21 or older with ID. Tables carry a per-person food or drink minimum, so plan on dinner. Our full guide to Blue Note Los Angeles has the house rules.

Getting there

The club is in the middle of the neighborhood, so it pairs easily with a walk through the lights on Sunset before the show. Parking is available in the Cinerama Dome garage at 1400 Ivar Avenue, a short walk away, and rideshare drop-off at the corner is simple.
