Here at San Jose Jazz, we are gearing up for the 2009 Sunday Series, more Jazz Showcase concerts, Jazz Appreciation Month in April 2009, and, of course, the 20th San Jose Jazz festival. We'll update the blog on a pretty frequent basis so make sure you stay connected to what's going on.

 Please feel free to comment on any of the postings on the blog. If you have a topic you would like to see or contribute, please send me an email at geoffr at sanjosejazz dot org (need to distract those nasty spammers). Here are some things that I will post in the near future.

• Looking back and forward to the 20th San Jose Jazz Festival
• Great jazz stories - things that really happened to people
• What should the jazz festival be called? 
• How artists are chosen for the jazz festival
• Why support from the community is important to San Jose Jazz and the arts
• Guess what I just heard - people comment on a new CD, a great live show, a reissued recording, or something to share
• How to get into jazz - how do I understand this music

We're also going to move news about what's happening in Silicon Valley from the newsletter to here in the blog. However, this needs to have more than one voice so contribute, everyone!
