Founded in 1986, San Jose Jazz has been a cultural beacon in the Bay Area, nurturing a vibrant jazz community for nearly four decades. Known for its exceptional music festivals, educational programs, and community outreach, the organization continues to elevate the jazz scene while remaining deeply committed to the community. The 2024 Summer Jazz Festival was a resounding success, drawing record crowds and showcasing a diverse range of musical talent not to mention jazz legend and super star Herbie Hancock performed Saturday night. Attendees went home with magical memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Brendan Rawson, Executive Director of SJJ and your team for a wonderful and successful event.
