MoAD & SFJAZZ are proud to present an intimate performance with Black Nile. Brothers Aaron and Lawrence Shaw, performing as Black Nile, were born and raised in LA’s Inglewood neighborhood. Black Nile was born from their desire to bring jazz into a new century. Adopting sampling and modern production techniques that they learned from hip-hop, Black Nile’s improvisation is wildly inventive and combustible. Both GRAMMY nominated artists, Aaron Shaw’s saxophone work was recently featured in collaboration with Saul Williams and Carlos Niño, he’s played with contemporary greats from Tyler The Creator to Herbie Hancock, and gave André 3000 flute lessons. Lawrence Shaw has played bass for John Legend, Booker T. and the M.G.’s, Aminé, Nubya Garcia, and Raphael Saadiq. Black Nile’s recent album, Indigo Garden, was released on April 10, 2026 on MASS MoCA Records. Indigo Garden is both an homage to the brothers’ LA roots and a bold step forward for the city’s jazz tradition.
MoAD does not have a dedicated parking lot. Visitors commonly use nearby paid parking garages in the Yerba Buena and downtown San Francisco area, as well as metered street parking. Public transportation is highly recommended.
