Another great jazzy season is coming our way. The Java Jazz Festival will soon swing into town with world-class performers, and this year the much anticipated Jason Mraz could also be making an appearance.
But Jason, "the Mr. A-Z," would certainly not be alone in the festival, with a host of other top artists scheduled to perform from March 6 to 8. The Java Jazz stages will be full of our favorites - artists like Brian McKnight, Dianne Reeves, Peabo Bryson, Laura Fygi, Swing Out Sister and Matt Bianco.
And if these international performers don't do it for you, tune in for local star musicians like Tompi, Glen Fredly, Benny Likumahua, Tohpati, Slank, Syaharani, Maliq D'Essentials and newcomers Afgan and RAN.
While the artist lineup is long - some 100 local and international performers in 180 shows - you may only be interested in Java Jazz to see certain musicians.
If Jason Mraz happens to be the only reason you would want to come to the festival, there is some good and bad news for you. The bad news is, all 9,000 seats to Jason's show have sold out already - within less than two weeks of going on sale. The good news is, the Virginian-born musician has confirmed he will do a second show.
