If you love the Hollywood Bowl, as I do, it has been offering some incredible shows this summer (2023). Plus the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Series is attracting jazz lovers everywhere. LA Phil’s Jazz Plus series is curated by Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington. It was created to showcase artists such as Diana Krall, Gladys Knight, Joe Bonamassa, Buddy Guy, Herbie Hancock, and others.

Hollywood Bowl Jazz Series

We have several reviews for you from the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Series. Most recently, the legendary blues guitar player Buddy Guy graced the stage at the Bowl. CLICK HERE to read the review.

Gladys Knight

The legendary vocalist blew us all away with her talent, and energy. At 79 years young, Gladys Knight looked unbelievable and dance the night away. My husband Rich Bilow wrote the review on our sister site EatTravelGo.com. Also Rich was invited by the Hollywood Bowl to take photographs of Gladys Knight. They are amazing.

Joe Bonamassa

Earlier this month Keith Block (music writer) attended the Joe Bonamassa performance which also was outstanding. This show was a part of LA Phil’s Jazz Plus series as well. Bonamassa is an exceptional guitarist who has made his mark on the music scene. He performed with the LA Phil orchestra. It was a special evening. CLICK HERE to read the review.
