Thu, Sep 10 · Hollywood Bowl · Hollywood Hills
  • Outdoor Amphitheater

Ravel, Debussy & Saint-Saëns is a jazz set where the band texture matters as much as the tunes. The Thursday music is more convincing when the band gives the songs a clear shape early.

Fireworks Finale: OneRepublic gives Hollywood Bowl a close-listening Fri set, where phrasing and detail matter more than scale. The room rewards a patient ear.
