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.

Featuring a mix of performances by local school groups, Bay Area-based professional musicians and national headliners, the Silicon Valley Jazz Festival returns this weekend. Saturday kicks off with a trio of performances by student musician groups from Tierra Linda Middle School, CSM and Stanford before the U.S. Air Force’s Commanders Jazz Ensemble takes the stage. Sunday opens with performances by a slew of school-based groups as well, which will lead into a set by Dizzy Gillespie protégé Jon Faddis. The fest will also feature a beer and wine garden with a little help from Old County Cellars and Devil’s Canyon Brewing Company.
