San Jose Jazz is a non-profit organization dedicated to the celebration of jazz music in Silicon Valley. Founded in 1990, it initially grew from a summer festival called “Jazz in the City.” Over time, it evolved into a year-round organization presenting concerts, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives. The organization’s annual Summer Fest is its largest event, typically held over Labor Day weekend and featuring both established artists and emerging talent. San Jose Jazz aims to preserve, promote, and advance the art of jazz through diverse programming that reflects the genre’s rich history and ongoing evolution. The organization operates various venues throughout San Jose, supporting local musicians alongside nationally recognized performers.
