Festival Name

Posted by: geoff

Tagged in: News

Right around the time of the last festival, August 2008, some people began to talk about changing the name of the festival from the San Jose Jazz Festival to the Silicon Valley Jazz Festival. There are lots of ideas to change it and to leave it the way it has been.

 Any comments or ideas?

Keep it. "Silicon Valley" has kind of a nerdy vibe to it. smilies/cheesy.gif

I vote to keep it as San Jose Jazz Festival. How did San Jose ever name itself the so called "Capitol of Silicon Valley"? We should keep the focus on San Jose and the Jazz Society. Hopefully jazz has a great future ahead of it like high tech but I think that using Silicon Valley Jazz Festival seems to take away from the great heritage and history of jazz, past, present, and future.
Last night I saw "Cadillac Records". Good movie, check it out when you get the chance.

'Silicon Valley' has an International ring to it. You will attract more to the Festival with this name change .Perhaps, even some good sponsors
