"The 32nd Music Pen Club Music Award" Award Comment
Shimomaruko Jazz Club is a regular live event full of handmade feeling that is constantly adventuring in a small public hall.It is miraculous that it has continued for 26 years with the top Japanese jazz players, supported by enthusiastic local fans.The enthusiasm of the local government, local residents, performers and producers brought together the result of 300 times.Perhaps there have been a number of difficulties so far, but the attitude of continuing to contribute to music culture is commendable.A total of about 2 players have appeared on the stage so far.From the now-registered jazz legends such as George Kawaguchi, Hidehiko Matsumoto, Koji Fujika, Norio Maeda, Yuzuru Sera, and Tatsuya Takahashi to up-and-coming players who are active on the front lines, public events like Japanese jazz directory Is.
