Project: Big Acts in a Small Space

Sam First will book at least 6 well-known artists (performing 2 sets each) to play in the Los Angeles' venue's intimate space, throughout the grant period. The program aims to bolster Sam First’s reach and visibility in a city where it can be a challenge for smaller jazz venues to stay open, especially in recent years.
