Jazz on the Beach

The pop-leaning centerpiece of this summer’s first-ever L.A. Jazz Festival, this oceanfront fest is bringing some serious talent to the sand at Dockweiler Beach. Janelle Monáe, Charlie Wilson and Parliament Funkadelic top Saturday’s lineup, while John Legend, Raphael Saadiq and Original Koffee headline Sunday. You can opt for boxes or standard seats—or stick to the general admission stretch of stand at the back for a mere $50.
