AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival Continues Tradition of Great Music, Family Fun, and Affordability

Event Celebrates 20th Year as the Jazz Festival of Silicon Valley
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
San Jose Jazz today announced the annual AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival to be
presented August 7-9 in downtown San Jose. From Friday afternoon to Sunday
evening, music lovers will converge on the heart of Silicon Valley to enjoy
three days of jazz, blues, salsa, Latin, R&B, electronica and many other forms
of contemporary music. The festival continues its tradition of affordability
(only $15 a day) and increases its commitment to families and the Silicon Valley
community.

"Jazz is the basis for most of the popular music of today, and the AT&T San Jose
Jazz Festival showcases that breadth," said Geoff Roach, CEO of San Jose Jazz.
"Like the tradition of innovation here in Silicon Valley, jazz composition and
performance continue to evolve and change. During the three days of this year's
festival, we promise that the cravings of even the most diverse music lover will
be satisfied."

The festival lineup features the straight-ahead jazz of Dee Dee Bridgewater,
Denise Donatelli, Sylvie Cuenca, Dave Pell, Med Flory, Buster Williams, Winard
Harper, and many more. Music fans looking for more diverse music will find three
complete stages of salsa, blues, and Latin music from Allen Toussaint, Bettye
Lavette, Wild Magnolias, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, SambaDa, the festival
Harmonica Blowout, and Karabali.

San Jose Jazz also features San Jose and Bay Area legends Edgardo Cambon, a
tribute to Louie Bellson, John Santos, John Worley and Bari Bari, Wayne Wallace
and local rising stars such as Panthelion, Hristo Vitchev, and Fil Lorenz. The
full lineup can be viewed at jazzfest.sanjosejazz.org/performers.

San Jose Jazz is increasing its efforts to make the festival a family-focused
event. The "Future of Jazz Stage" features some of the best young musicians in
Silicon Valley. Children 12 and under are admitted free and admittance to the
Tech Museum of Innovation is included in the festival admission. This year's
festival also includes a music scavenger hunt in the Tech Museum and a special
area for kids' entertainment.

After hours events such as the "Jazz Beyond Stage" featuring French artist
ElodieO, Midival Punditz, and Supertaster as well as the Festival Club Crawl
with local restaurants, hotels, and bars deliver non-stop music for three days.

Accessibility is another great perk of the jazz festival. Through four major
freeways, "stay-cationers" from around Bay Area will have access to the event
with free weekend parking facilities nearby. Valley Transit Authority (VTA)
weekend trains will run every 15 minutes to and from downtown San Jose.
CalTrain, Capitol Corridor and ACE rail are just three more options for local
music fans to get to the show.

For out-of-towners, the Mineta San Jose International Airport is only three
miles from downtown. Twelve major airlines provide an average of 384 commercial
arrivals and departures from both national and international locations.
Discounted hotel rates are available for festival attendees, starting at $98.
All the hotels are within a block of the festival. For more information, visit
