Terrace Martin at Blue Note Los Angeles

Terrace Martin is the kind of artist who makes a jazz club feel like a block party. The saxophonist, producer and bandleader has spent years sliding between jazz, soul and hip-hop, and a run at Blue Note Los Angeles puts him in a room built for exactly that crossover. If you are scanning for LA concerts that reward close listening, this November weekend is a strong pick.

When: Friday, November 20, 2026, with shows also listed for Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22 Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028 Sets: 7:00 PM (doors 5:00 PM) and 9:30 PM (doors 9:00 PM) each night Minimum: $20 per person, per the club's listing

What to expect

Blue Note keeps its format simple: two sets a night, a full bar and a dinner menu, and a room where the stage is never far from your table. Terrace Martin's music leans on warm keys, loose grooves and improvised saxophone lines, so the early show tends to suit a relaxed dinner-and-music night, while the 9:30 set is the one to pick if you want the late-evening feel. Either way, this is live music Los Angeles audiences usually find in smaller rooms, not arenas.

Expect a seated club crowd rather than a standing dance floor. The band plays close to the audience, which is the whole appeal of a venue like this.

Seating and practical info

Seating is first come, first served within the area you buy. Table seating is all ages, while the bar area is 21 and over, and bar tickets for anyone under 21 will not be honored. Bar seats are limited, and once they fill, the rest of the bar area is standing room only. Tickets are sold with no refunds or exchanges, so check your date before you buy.

The club says tickets bought through its official site or TicketWeb are the only authorized ones, and management may ask for the card used and matching photo ID at the door. Parties of 10 or more should contact the club directly at events@bluenotela.com or (310) 855-3750 to arrange group seating.

Plan to arrive at doors if you want a choice of seats, since first come first served means the early arrivals sit closest. The $20 minimum is separate from the ticket, so budget for dinner or drinks.

Getting there

The club sits on Sunset Boulevard near Cahuenga Boulevard in the middle of Hollywood, so it works well with a pre-show meal nearby.

Terrace Martin is one of the more interesting names on the November calendar, and a three-night run gives you room to choose the night and set time that suits you. It also fits any list of things to do in Los Angeles that goes beyond the usual big-venue shows.
