August 7-9, 2009 will mark the 20th San Jose Jazz Festival. Making it to 20 years is certainly an achievement for everyone from the people who have worked hard to put it on to the audiences who have attended. At the next festival we would like to display great stories and memories of the previous 19 festivals. If you have some, post them here. You could also send them to geoffr at sanjosejazz dot org. 

I know there are stories out there. One lady told me of going into labor in front of the main stage about 15 years ago and barely making it to the hospital. I told her she should have named her daughter Ella, Billie, or Sarah. 

 This of a memorable act, experience, or other event that you would like to share. They could end up as part of the festival.
