Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival is one of the largest jazz festivals in the world and arguably the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere, held in Jakarta, Indonesia. The annual jazz festival is held every early March and was designed to be one of the largest jazz festivals globally. It was held for the 1st time in 2005, when approximately 125 groups and 1,405 artists performed in 146 shows. The 1st festival was attended by 47,500 visitors during its three-day stretch.
JJF’s motto, “Bringing the World to Indonesia”, is implemented through the act of inviting numerous international artists to the festival. This isn't only intended to treat the public with a feast of international talents, but also as an opportunity for international artists to see the talent of Indonesia’s jazz musicians, as well as jazz improvisations paired with Indonesian traditional music and also arouse collaborations on JJF's stages.
During the four years of the festival, collaborations create a new musical harmony. People of diverse background meet in harmony through jazz.
Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival showcases jazz, and other genres, including the ‘jazz ‘n beyond’ form presented by DJs. As a result, JJF's performance areas are always packed with audience from a wide range of age groups. It is a fact that most foreign musicians were awed that JJF also attracts teenage viewers.
