The celebration of Java Jazz Festival 2015 brought Jakarta to life on March 6-8. It was held at Jakarta International Expo Kemayoran. I got the chance to come for two days (unfortunately not on the Special Show day, which was Jessie J's peformance! ). This annual event never fails to amaze me. As a fan of jazz, I've truly enjoyed every single moment there. Great performances,lighting, and atmosphere! We swinged and swayed along the jazzy tunes and applauded vigorously.
Personally, the show I love the most is by Chris Botti! His playing is really intriguing,soft, and romantic. We stood during his last song, gave a big and long standing ovation. Wanting for more, we shouted for the encore. He replied with a final song "Hallelujah". Though I'm not a Christian, I know and love this legendary song. A perfect piece for ending the show.
These are perhaps some OK pictures I got during the festival. This year I decided to not snap a lot and just enjoy the performance. The joy and essence of music are much more better when you feel it through your own sense.
Overall, the music are beyond words!
