PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
BARBARA KINNEY
D
evil Mountain drew a good crowd June 28. They played sans clarinet for a
time as they had a glitch in scheduling. The replacement, Polly Edgerton was
a fine “Sweet Substitute”. Another afternoon filled with great music. Our Jam sets
included two extra young musicians, friends of our wonderful young tuba player
Zach Maher. They were great. July 26 features the ever popular Creole Jazz
Kings. You won’t want to miss these fun musicians.
Barbara Kinney, President
The Board Needs
Your Help!!
August is the month the Board
must start thinking about a slate
of officers for next year. Our
President will be termed out at the
end of the year. Right now eight
of the eleven members of the
Board are 80 years of age or over.
Won’t some younger members
step up and help us to broaden the
age range that fervently works to
keep our music alive and well?
Talk to any of the people you see
sitting at the entry tables on a
fourth Sunday.

BECAUSE MOST MUSIC
Because most music helps most to believe,
and we have a heart for keeping.
Yet for the soul it’s a great relief,
and it’s a treasure when we’re sleeping.
Yet music walks beside me,
as time passes through.
And yes, I hold this belief,
since we all should value it too.
Time is what can reach out,
to a heart that seems to be burning.
Still it turns life about,
while knowledge can keep returning.
So open the soul for each day,
while music sets the heart free.
This gives love much more to say,
cause it’s a gift for you and me.

JAZ
at
The San Jose Jazz Summer Fest (Friday, August 7- Sunday,
August 9) will be featuring two of our local favorite trad jazz
bands on Saturday, August 8.
Bob Schulz is playing at The YP Gordon Biersch Stage on
Saturday at 6:00. This stage is open to the public, and South Bay
members are encouraged to attend, eat dinner and enjoy Bob
and his band.
Clint Baker is playing at Alaska Airlines Big Easy Stage on
Saturday at 1:30. This stage requires a ticket to the festival but
once you are in it is good for the whole day at all of the stages.
This past year we have been working with San Jose Jazz to
present more trad/early jazz at the festival. Our efforts are paying
off and we are encouraged by the interest of San Jose Jazz staff
and board. While Bob and Clint will play the music familiar to
us, the festival provides an opportunity to hear a wide variety of
jazz. Jazz is an evolving art form but the roots are still there if
one take the time to listen.
For more information go to sanjosejazz.org. Ticket prices start
at $25 with discounts for early purchase. All stages are located
BY JON SCHERMER
in downtown San Jose.
