The San Jose Jazz Festival is this weekend.

August 13 – 15 in downtown San Jose.

Last year I saw Spanish Harlem Orchestra and mostly hung out at the salsa stage.

This year, George Clinton plays Friday night, Maceo Parker is playing at 2 PM Saturday and Marcus Miller & Alex Han are playing at 4 PM, Tower of Power plays Sunday at 6.

Should be some good music!
