Image via WikipediaThe 21st annual San Jose Jazz Festival is coming up August 13-15 in
downtown San Jose. What I don’t understand is! Why they are calling it San
Jose Jazz Festival? When they have on the main stage performers like
George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic, Tony Lindsey and Tower of Power.
That’s funk and R&B artist at a Jazz Festival. Come on! San Jose Jazz
committee needs to get a clue. They need to promote its local Jazz
musician. Artists like Times 4 Joe, DeRose and Amici and Jazz Vocalist
Nate Pruitt.
Over the years San Jose Jazz Festival has been about less Jazz. Back in
the day, they had artist like Steve Turre and Regina Carter, Bob Berg and
Arturo Sandoval just to name a few. I my opinion they should rename it
the San Jose Music Festival. I think the San Jose Jazz committee, is
calling it that, just to seem like their sophisticated. Stop faking the
Jazz Festival and get real Jazz artist and promote our local talent.
