Jazz in Japan with KJAZZ

Join me, Rhonda Hamilton, this November for an unforgettable jazz journey through Japan.

Together, we’ll explore one of the world’s most passionate and sophisticated jazz cultures, with exclusive performances, insider access, and thoughtfully curated experiences that bring Japan’s music scene vividly to life. With guidance from author Michael Pronko, we’ll step inside legendary jazz clubs, connect with extraordinary musicians, and experience firsthand the deep reverence Japan holds for this art form.

Beyond the music, our adventure embraces Japan’s rich cultural traditions, remarkable cuisine, and celebrated drinking heritage, from refined sake to world-renowned whisky and distinctive shochu. We’ll be anchored in Tokyo and Kyoto, with a visit to the historic canal town of Kurashiki, traveling comfortably aboard the Shinkansen bullet train.

With a pace designed to let you truly listen, explore, and absorb, this is more than a tour. It is an immersive exploration of Japan’s profound love affair with jazz.

I hope you’ll join me for this extraordinary musical experience.
