Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival 2008

"Bringing the World to Indonesia" has always been the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival’s mission. It is a mission which has successfully distributed not only positive energy, but also optimism for PT Java Festival Production, the organizer of the world-class event. Over the years, names such as Chaka Khan, Jamie Cullum, Sergio Mendes, John Scofield, Ron Carter, Sadao Watanabe, and hundreds of other musicians have succeeded in making the public’s eye pop out of its socket.
Without a single doubt, these musicians have created humongous wave of vibrations throughout Jakarta with their own distinct musical skills. The former three successes of the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival, which received the full support of the Jakarta Provincial Government, State Ministry of Tourism and Culture and embassies, have encouraged the international world to eradicate any form of doubt and turn its attention to this country. World-class performances and forms of entertainment took over Jakarta, providing incessant and various choices for the audience to enjoy.
The Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival directly supports the capital city’s tourism and culture program, “Enjoy Jakarta” and “Visit Indonesia Year 2008”. On 7, 8 and 9 March 2008, PT Java Festival Production, with the support of the Provincial Government of Jakarta and the State Ministry Office of Tourism, Art and Culture, and also the sponsors, has declared that it will once more hold the “Dji Sam Soe Super Premium Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival 2008.” The event, in its fourth year, will once more present world-class music performances in multiple stages spread all over the Jakarta Convention Centre area.
