This International Jazz Festival was launched in 2002.
The concepts of TOKYO JAZZ, now in its fourth year, are "transmitting new culture" "ensuring jazz lives on and develops" and "cultural cross-overs".
Big name artists from Japan and around the world converge in one location to bring you a dream performance that crosses generations and borders!
