San Jose Jazz features one of its longest-running education programs as part of Winter Fest. On Saturday, March 12, middle school, high school, and community college jazz bands from California will gather for an adjudicated music education event.

This festival is designed to nurture tomorrow's musicians and arts lovers. ...
