New this year is the Big Easy Stage with New Orleans and zydeco on historic Post Street. We’ve expanded our selection of Latin jazz, bringing its energy to virtually every stage; we’ve upgraded the roster of straight-ahead jazz at the San Jose Rep Stage to include even more world-renowned artists to perform in this small, climate-controlled space; and we’ve added ticketed night-time Jazz+ Concerts that give you the chance to hear top festival artists in intimate club settings.
