Since our first outing in 2002, we are now welcoming our fourth summer. 
Our lead for this year too will be Herbie Hancock. 

TOKYO JAZZ 2005 will create an enormous Jazz lounge where great jazz artists will congregate. 

Let your ?Tokyo ears? be intoxicated by the high sensitivity, flexibility and subtlety of two nights of performances. 

TOKYO JAZZ 2005 will be an event that signals a new departure, straight out of Tokyo, of a new style of jazz.

Message from Herbie Hancock

I am very excited about TOKYO JAZZ 2005. We are actually going to fashion the stage after the spirit of a jazz club, a jazz lounge. So you get that feeling that you are in the jazz atmosphere. And also although we will, of course, be exploring all the various viewpoints of jazz, there will be much more emphasis this time in TOKYO JAZZ 2005 on the roots of jazz, where jazz came from and where jazz is going, in regards to the mainstream of jazz, so that the core of the jazz will be much more emphasized this year.
