In conjunction with its year-round program of Master Classes, the San Jose Jazz Society will feature several key workshops at the 12th Annual AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival. This year's clinicians include members of some of the hottest groups performing at the event. The sessions are open to both musicians and to the public. They provide musicians with a forum in which to interact with other artists and to share their talent. They also offer the public a rare opportunity to learn from some of their favorite artists. The Master Class program is the perfect synthesis of entertainment and education. With help from its friends at San Jose State University's Continuing Education Department and its Improvised Music Studies Program, the San Jose Jazz Society is able to attract some of the finest national and international artists to San Jose.
The San Jose Jazz Society is proud of the festival's annual attendance; it is particularly proud to continue offering all festival performances free to the public.
