Tokyo Jazz Site was born in late 2007 as a blog devoted to the hidden jazz world in Tokyo. Focusing on the smaller, less well known clubs, bars and cafes, I soon added record shop information, musician profiles, photos from jazz events around town, and upcoming gig information. The blog was an immediate success and was featured in several publications including the Japan Times and The Tokyo Journal. In fall 2008, I was interviewed for the TV program "Jazz in the City: Tokyo", produced by and broadcast on Dutch national broadcaster NPS. In 2009 I plan to expand the site even further by interlinking with other jazz sites around the world, hoping to further spread the word.
The site is currently under some major construction but will be 100% back for the start of 2009. In the meantime, email Mr. OK Jazz if you have any burning questions about jazz in Tokyo. I'll get back to you right away with any information you need..or keep checking in every few days as the content from the old site is slowly added here, and the design improves day by day...
