International Jazz Day 2014 Global Host City Osaka will feature All-Star Global Concert in Osaka Castle Park

Japan has long been recognized as a devoted consumer of jazz music. International Jazz Day Global Host City Osaka continues to live up to its reputation as one of the original incubators of jazz in Japan.

Known in the early to mid 1920s as Japan’s “jazz mecca,” the city is the birthplace of influential early jazz artists such as Hattori Ryoichi and Nanri Fumio, and still houses many clubs and listening spaces such as pianist Hisayuki Terai’s OverSeas Club, the St. James Jazz Club, The Royal Horse, Jazz Bar Bird, Yakata de Voce and Rug Time Osaka. For the All-Star Global Concert the space moves to Japan’s beautiful Osaka Castle Park and will host more than 30 world-renowned performers with an audience of thousands in celebration of the third annual International Jazz Day.
