Rawson, who is helming Summer Fest for the third straight year, splits duties for the task with Bruce Labadie, artistic director and festival director. Labadie “has been booking acts since Year One,” Rawson says, “when he was putting a lot of the expenses on his own credit card.”. Some of the marquee names Labadie has been able to draw over the years to Summer Fest–until 2011 billed as the San Jose Jazz Festival–include Bobby Hutcherson, Etta James, Charlie Haden, Bobby Caldwell, Arturo Sandoval, Dianne Reeves and Chuck Mangione.

The Next Gen Stage used to be near the Tech Museum, which, though still comparatively close, may have given off a second- or third-tier vibe to outsiders. “By spotlighting young people [and putting them in a prominent location], it shows that the organization is more than just this festival,” Rawson reasons. No matter where attendees go for their jazz fix, Summer Fest remains imminently walkable, as befits a downtown area with one of the highest national Walkscore rankings. From the Main Stage across from the Fairmont Hotel it’s an easy stroll to all of the other music venues, as well as restaurants, hotels and public transportation.

On the topic of overnight accommodations, Rawson notes, “We’ve been blown away by how soon hotels have filled up, A lot of folks either from outside or locals who want to enjoy the weekend here have booked their reservations already, The Fairmont has been sold out for a couple of weeks, and places like the Marriott and the Sainte Claire [have also seen an uptick].”, Perhaps fans of this silver-anniversary edition of Summer Fest are coming for highlights like the showcases for two record labels with Bay Area origins: Motéma Music in New 4" embroidery hoop - ballet shoes York, which focuses on jazz and world tunes, and Stones Throw Records out of Los Angeles, specialists in “left of center albums” of the neo soul, hip hop variety..
