A $20 donation is appreciated, I'm told. <BR><BR> This year's lineup includes Chris Wilder from the Valley Medical Center Foundation on bass, Synopsys CEO Aart de Geus on guitar and Saratoga Union School District Superintendent Lane Weiss on sax. <BR><BR> But every good jam session needs percussion, and Roach is still looking for a drummer. <BR><BR> There's a noticeable absence of women among the 14 musicians expected to play. Jazz should be a gender-neutral language, so I hope a few female execs get on stage Friday night. <BR><BR> Especially ones who know their way around a drum set. <BR><BR> <A HREF="2007-08-10-SanJose18thJazzFestivalCEOJam-Location.pdf"> Direction to the stage</A> on Friday, Aug 10, 2007. <TR> <TD ALIGN=middle> </TABLE> </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
