Dou you like Music Jazz ? Java Jazz Festival 2010 in Jakarta Live Streaming Online in First Media. Java Jazz Festival 2010 (March 5-7), Indonesia’s annual jazz festival, organized by Peter & and his daughter Dewi Gontha is about to take Jakarta by storm again. This time, the festival will be located at the Jakarta Fairground (PRJ) in Kemayoran.

It took six years for organizers to firmly establish the festival in the international music scene. This is perhaps a major significant international success for the Indonesian music industry, since it was formed in the 1970s. Peter Gontha initiated this festival based on his passion for jazz, as opposed to being a business project.

Peter first created Jak Jazz more than 10 years ago, then the only Jazz festival in the country, with the controversial idea to have acts from other genres such as R&B and pop. 

Today, his idea is one of the main reasons Java Jazz gained international success and became one of the largest jazz festivals in

the world.

In this case, the workshop can provide the gate for local musicians to enter global competition. Contributions such as workshops at Java Jazz 2010 are perhaps important to developing the Indonesian music industry.

Another important Java Jazz program is the Michael Jackson tribute. Michael Jackson was an icon in the global music industry and was incredibly important to the industry. Through the support of many top musicians who will participate, the tribute program will help Java Jazz gain more international recognition.

By the same token, it will confirm its authority as the firm institution of jazz within a global context. By claiming Java Jazz as having the authority to commemorate the global pop music icon, the international market’s attention will no doubt turn to the Indonesian music scene, potentially benefiting it.
