The rhythm of summer is surely sweet—long days, warm nights, and the sounds of birds, bees and barbecues. And the performance by Aziza Music and Dance Ensemble at Oak Meadow Park on July 25 should make it even sweeter.
Performing traditional African dance and drumming, the 15-person ensemble features a mix of American and African performers. The group will perform from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. as a free family event.
As part of Music in the Park, a free opera concert by Opera San Jose will be held on July 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. on the lawn of the Los Gatos Civic Center.

The book is packed with historical photos of Cannery Row, highlighted by in-depth commentary by Hemp.
