Just as variety is the spice of life, it's also the condiment that has sold out nearly every jazz concert at the historic Filoli mansion on the Peninsula for 18 years. At these six Sunday afternoon concerts you'll find a full menu: blues, boogie, swing, classic big band, and very different approaches to modern jazz.

Plus, Filoli celebrates its 100th live jazz concert on Sunday, July 12, featuring the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra and special guests from Filoli concerts of yesteryear (the summer series began back in 1991, so there's no telling who'll be joining Shelby and his orchestra).

Gates open at 11 am on concert days, and you may tour the property before the concert. Seating begins at 1 pm, and the concerts are held from 1:30 to 4 pm on Filoli's garden stage. Parking, snacks and drinks are included in the ticket price, and shows sell out quickly, so place your order soon.

Here's the schedule for this year's summer jazz concerts:

Sunday, June 21 from 1.30 to 4 pm		Benny Green & Bucky Pizzarelli
Sunday, July 12 from 1.30 to 4 pm		Filoli's 100th Jazz Concert: The Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra and special guests TBA
Sunday, August 2 from 1.30 to 4 pm		The Barbara Morrison All-Star Band
Sunday, August 16 from 1.30 to 4 pm		Buster Williams' Something More featuring Bennie Maupin (reeds), Patrice Rushen (piano) and Cindy Blackman (drums)
