This festival is huge, it's crazy! And here in Indonesia, I've found very delicious food. I love them.

Even in US and Europe, you would rarely find young people watching jazz festivals. In Indonesia, there are a lot of young people attending the festival. That's the most special element of this festival.

You should name this country, 'The Smiley Island'. Everybody here is so nice.

I dont just have friends here in Indonesia, I have families.

While art might imitage life, life too must emulate the inspirational teachings of great art forms that include jazz. Those fortunate to witness the masters in action at Java Jazz need to perhaps start working on imbibing a new beat and rhytim in their corporate workplace.


Amol Titus, a Nehru scholar from St. Stephensos College

"Kalau kita menaruh segalanya di museum itu mungkin bisa terdengar kuno. Tapi, kalau kita menempatkan itu sebagai lagu baru, dengan cara baru, kita bisa membuat pendengar muda tertarik, 'kata Jamie dalam wawancara dengan Kompas dibelakang pentas seusai tampil di Java Jazz, Minggu (4/3) malam

There is sure to be something for everyone at the third Java Jazz Festival

If the size of the crowd is an indication of success, the third installment of Java Jazz may well have broken new records - and it's still only day two.


Jakarta Post

Java Jazz Festival 2007 boleh masuk ke ajang pesta jazz kelas dunia - bahkan mungkin terbesar dewasa ini.


Pikiran Rakyat

The festival, held at Jakarta Convention Center, was a convergence of splendid music, bountiful talent, overwhelming creativity and stunning showmanship. In the face of this, audiences could do little but succumb to the beat


The Jakarta Post

Ya, dalam jazz tak ada sekat sekat usia. Jazz itu lintas usia.

Really what an extraordinary performance! Serasa tak ada kata yang cukup untuk menggambarkannya! To sum up. JJF kali ini sungguh meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam bagi para penonton dari kualitas pada artis yang tampil. Bravo JJF!

Another point that needs to be appreciated is the brilliant strategy of the JJF to get the most famous international musicians performing alongside the most famous Indonesian musicians, in a unique collaborative effort, confirming that the country's musical ability has finally been recognized by the best names in the musical world.


Jakarta Post, 15 March 2006

They have indeed created history . And the message they have sent out is clear and resounding Indonesia is safe, and Indonesia is center stage in setting international standards in global cross-culture developments.

Now this is what I call big news! Swing Out Sister format akustik?! Oh my God!

Java Jazz does it again!! Udah mau nonton yang kelima neh dan selalu aja ada surprise yang menyenangkan di Java Jazz, kali ini Swing Out Sister....acoustic pulak!  Mudah2an Corrine & Andy top form yaa. Temen2 gue yang bule aja gak semua punya kesempatan nonton SOS acoustic live version.

Gue juga mau bilang terimakasih sebesar2nya karena jadwal Soil & “Pimp” Sessions sudah dimundurkan 45 menit dari jadwal SOS. Berarti udah gak bentrok total lagi. Yup, gue fans berat Soil & “Pimp” juga.

Anyway, lagi2 thanks banget buat seluruh jajaran Java Jazz yang sudah berhasil confirm banyak artists kelas dunia tahun ini maupun tahun-tahun sebelumnya.

Bangga banget Indonesia punya Java Jazz!
