Jakarta Square Jazz
to be on regularly

JAKARTA: Jurnal IndonesianManagers, an organization to
accommodate the needs of managers to communicate and interact,
will stage a Jakarta Square Jazz performance on Sept. 1, from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m., at The Plaza Semanggi, Central Jakarta.

Starting in October, the event will be on biweekly every
Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and be aired live at Trijaya FM
radio station.

Organizer Toto Hermito said on Friday that the focus would be
on the music, particularly the repertoire from mainstream and
progressive, to contemporary jazz.

He added that live jazz performances had become somewhat rare
since the last JakJazz festival in 1997. Back in the 1980s and
1990s, Jakartans used to enjoy many jazz events, including Friday
Jazz Night in Ancol, North Jakarta, and other, regular
performances at clubs. -- JP
