Jazz in Japan with KJAZZ

Join me, José Rizo, this October for an unforgettable jazz adventure in Japan! Together, we’ll explore one of the world’s most vibrant jazz cultures, with exclusive performances, insider access, and curated experiences that bring Japan’s music scene to life. With guidance from author Michael Pronko, we’ll visit the country’s most celebrated jazz venues and meet talented musicians along the way. Our journey also celebrates Japan’s culture, cuisine, and legendary drinking traditions, from sake to whisky and shochu. We’ll be anchored in Tokyo and Kyoto, with a visit to the historic canal town of Kurashiki, while traveling comfortably by Shinkansen bullet train. With a pace that lets you truly listen, explore, and absorb, this is more than a tour; it’s a deep dive into Japan’s devotion to jazz. 

I hope you’ll join me for this extraordinary musical journey!
