The article discusses the decline of live jazz venues in downtown San Jose, highlighting the SJZ Break Room as a unique and vibrant alternative. Located in a converted office building, the Break Room provides an intimate setting with about 100 seats, professional lighting, and great sound. The venue has hosted various performances, including a recent event by band All Things Swamp. The article invites music lovers to visit, noting upcoming shows as part of San Jose Jazz's New Works Fest, showcasing a mix of talented artists.
There's one unlikely bright spot in that musical desert: The SJZ Break Room, a live music venue in the lobby of a converted office building on South First Street.
The Break Room is in the old Valley Title Building across from Original Joe's in the arty South First Area (SoFA) district, making concerts feel like an after-work pop-up.
Last weekend, the room was packed as the New Orleans-flavored band All Things Swamp celebrated the release of its new album, Fully Dressed, and raised money for the Boys & Girls Clubs.
If you haven't been before, this is a great time to check it out as San Jose Jazz's New Works Fest has three shows left and features a range of talented artists.
