2007 Festival
August 10-12, 2007
Thank you for a fabulous 2007 Festival!
"On behalf of the board and staff at San Jose Jazz, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the great success of the 2007 Comcast San Jose Jazz Festival presented by Southwest Airlines. The musicians, sponsors, volunteers, and, most important, everyone who came to the festival made this edition a great place to be. This year we retained the best of what makes this festival great and tried some new things. The best part about the weekend is that we all had great music, spent a wonderful time, and helped build this great Silicon Valley community. Save the dates for next year – August 8-10, 2008. We'll all do it again – more fun and great music."
Geoff Roach, San Jose Jazz Executive Director
