The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is up in the air heading to the West Coast to check out a jazz spot called Savanna Jazz Club located at 1189 Laurel Street, San Carlos, California 94070. Established, owned and operated by educators for the purpose of engaging the young and the community.

Don’t be put off by the sports bar in front because the jazz is securely nestled in the back. Within the walls filled with warm colors, soft lighting sits a cozy jazz lounge whose walls depict the visual history of jazz innovators. With all that ambience, this Jazz Voyager may be subjected to great jazz in less than a listening room.

Arrive in time to check out the happy hour with Michael Turner and partake of libations and bar food, then transition into the music of Pascal Bokar Group with vocalist Masha Camagne. Reservations are recommended and may be made by calling 415-624-4549.
