The Silicon Valley Jazz Festival is a two-day celebration of music, culture and education. The festival unites jazz bands from Bay Area schools with established touring performers in an effort to spread appreciation for the art form and, hopefully, inspire the next generation of improvisational sax masters. The day festival at Fremont Park features 13 bands, plus vendors and food trucks. One paid concert will be held each evening at the Savanna Jazz club in San Carlos. Carl Saunders plays Saturday ($35) and Sunday is the Octobop afterparty ($20). Proceeds from the festival will fund various charitable endeavors of the San Carlos Kiwanis Club.
