- **Event Name**: SJZ Break Room Jazz Jam Ft. Karina Denike & The Cottontails
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 05:40 pm
- **Event Description**: San Jose Jazz presents free live music programming in conjunction with South First Friday. Following sets by our SJZ U19s and the Michael Webster Quartet, our all-ages jazz jam features special guests Karina Denike, Vic Wong and other members of The Cottontails.

Virtuosic chanteuse Karina Denike draws from 1930s torch songs, Motown soul, and blue beat to interpret Duke Ellington tear jerkers, Fats Waller tongue-in-cheek ditties and rare gems of yesteryear. Schooled by East Bay jazz legends Jon Hendricks, Bobby McFerrin and bassist Fred Marshall, her acclaimed solo release Under Glass was named one of KQED's Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2015. Denike has released over 30 albums as bandleader, songwriter or collaborator, including work with 8 Legged Monster, Ralph Carney's Serious Jass Project, NOFX and Dance Hall Crashers. She has shared stages with Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, The Pretenders and Beck.

Partnering with Denike is Vic Wong, a jazz guitarist, double-bassist, tenor banjoist and maker who specializes in early jazz styles of the '30s and '40s. Vic hosts a popular music community residency in SF and performs with The Cottontails, Franco Nero and the Alcatraz Islanders. As core members of The Cottontails, these two Northern California natives share a love of '40s swing, '30s hot club jazz and '60s ska and soul.
