"Blue Note JAZZ FESTIVAL in JAPAN 2025"

　Blue Note Jazz Festival has become an established early summer tradition in New York City since its inauguration in 2011. Organized by Blue Note New York, this month-long festival with jazz at its vibrant core offers a musical journey around the city in indoor and outdoor venues, including various clubs and theatres.

Since 2022, Blue Note Jazz Festival has also been held on the West Coast in Napa, California. With Robert Glasper in residence, the festival has featured performances from Mary J. Blige, Thundercat, as well as Snoop Dogg since its launch. In June 2025, the Blue Note Jazz Festival was held at the legendary and iconic Hollywood Bowl with performances from Grace Jones, The Isley Brothers, as well as Willow Smith.

In Japan, the first Blue Note Jazz Festival was held in 2015 in Yokohoma, with a special stage set up outside the famous Red Brick Warehouse. Jeff Beck and Pat Metheny performed for the festival's debut in Japan, and in the following year, Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as George Benson performed for the second rendition of this event.

In 2024, Blue Note Jazz Festival was held at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo featuring NAS, Parliament Funkadelic feat. George Clinton, Chicago, Marcus Miller, Nile Rodgers & Chic, etc.

In September 2025, the Festival is coming back with its second rendition at the Ariake Arena with an exceptional line-up. The first day will be headlined by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones. Day 1 will also feature Take 6 for their historic first collaboration with Miho Hazama Jazz Orchestra, Don Was and The Pan Detroit Ensemble led by Blue Note Records' president Don Was himself, Brazilian jazz pianist Amaro Freitas, and Americana singer and multi-instrumentalist Valerie June.

The second day will be headlined by grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo. Day 2 will also feature the incredible soul and funk band Tower of Power, Japanese singer and dancer Daichi Miura, UK Jazz funk group Incognito led by Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick, as well as Japanese group SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS with special guest Ryosuke Nagaoka.

We hope you'll savor to your heart's content this luxurious musical experience—an improvisational moment you can only encounter on this day, fully immersed in extraordinary music.
