SJZ New Works Fest showcases commissioned compositions set for simulcast on an innovative multi-media video wall for in-person, socially distanced outdoor viewing at The Break Room in Downtown San Jose and live virtual broadcast at sanjosejazz.org.

The Break Room is housed inside San Jose Jazz's downtown office with a multi-media digital video wall featuring the latest in HD technology, The Break Room hosts leading-edge jazz artists on stage (indoors) while live performances are projection-mapped with Ultra-Short Throw Projectors onto high-end projection fabric mounted on motorized rollers. Sound from outdoor speakers and projections fill a 35 x 14 feet bank of floor to ceiling windows, providing a socially-distanced outdoor experience of the concerts on San Carlos Street. The SJZ New Works Fest 2021 is a ticketed livestreaming concert (tickets ranging $10 - $20) available online at sanjosejazz.org. Outdoor viewing is for the general public; no tickets will be sold for viewing the shows from San Carlos Street.
