Java Jazz Comes to Bali!

STARRING EARTH WIND & FIRE EXPERIENCE FT. AL MCKAY, TANIA MARIA, INCOGNITO, OMAR, ESTAIRE GODINEZ, STOKLEY WILLIAMS, D NOTES HARRIS, ROBERT TURNER, MAGNUS LINDGREN PLUS MANY MORE AMAZING ACTS!

In 2014 Java Jazz Festival will celebrate it’s 10th anniversary and has now become the biggest Jazz Festival in the world! For the first time ever the Bali Live International Festival in association with the Java Jazz Festival, will take place just after Java Jazz Festival, from 3rd to 8th March, 2014. This prestigious Event with five days of Pre-events, will feature world famous international acts from the Java Jazz line-up, other International artist’s as well as the best local talent from Bali and other parts of Indonesia.

‘Until now there has not been a yearly event providing a platform to showcase local talent, as well as attract High profile International Artists to perform in Bali.’ ‘We believe that this festival will provide that, whilst promoting Bali and adding attraction for foreign and domestic tourists during the low season.’ said Jed (Ias) Balaskas, a music promoter from Jazz Cafe, which is in Ubud and is famous for being the first live Jazz venue on the island of Bali, opening in 1996 (www.jazzcafebali.com).

The program will consist of five nights of Pre-Events featuring bands from the festival line-up, at a selection of premiere Live Music Venues around the island. These venues will include the Jazz Café in Ubud, Uma Cucina in Ubud, Ryoshi House of Jazz Seminyak, SOS Anantara Seminyak, Hard Rock Café in Kuta, Beachwalk Shopping Centre Kuta, Mozaic Beach Club Kerobokan, Sundara Restaurant in Jimbaran,  Le Meridien Hotel Jimbaran and Nusa Dua Beach Hotel in Nusa Dua.

The festival will be an all day open air concert at Taman Bhagawan, an iconic and idyllic ocean-front venue for events in Tanjung Benoa on Saturday 8th March from 1pm- 12am. Festival guests will enjoy the beautiful Balinese style setting of Taman Bhagawan, with direct access to a 100-metre stretch of white sand beach in the charming village of Tanjung Benoa which is just 5 mins drive from the exclusive Nusa Dua tourists enclave, 20 mins drive from the airport and 30 mins from Seminyak, Kuta or Denpasar.

The concert will feature up to 6 International bands or artists selected from the Java Jazz line-up, as well as 6 Indonesian bands and other International Artists. This will be an all day event featuring all of the acts playing consecutively on one stage, performing a 45minute – 1.5 hour set each.

‘Our goal is to elevate the music scene in Bali to a new level of recognition and put Bali on the map in the same way that Java Jazz has done so in Jakarta.’ said Jed (Ias) Balaskas who is organizing the musicians on behalf of Jazz Café.

This vision is shared by our associates on this project; the Java Jazz Festival, as well as numerous organizations in Bali who will support this event, including the Bali Tourism Board and Polda Bali.

"I can honestly say without question that last night's event
at the Bali jazz Café was the best entertainment I have witnessed in my 17
years of living in Bali and in fact one of the best personal venues in my life. "Lawrence said on his blog

It was everything that the general manager Ias Balakas said it would
be in his beginning statement when he said this will be the best night
ever in Bali.
Internationally acclaimed  D Notes, Harris formally
bass guitarist with Stevie wonder and Ike Turner plus arguably Indonesia
best home-grown drummer along a very Canadian talented lead guitarist
and a multitude of local talent backed up  Ias and world-renowned
current famous artist English Musician Omar.

This was the beginning venue for several primary gigs that
will lead up to the Bali Jazz Festival on March 8^th. in  Nusa Dua ( details Below)

I highly recommend that you all purchase tickets at the
biggest and best Bali Jazz Festival ever. You won’t be disappointed.

This world-class entertainment only adds to Bali's beauty,
friendly people, affordable lifestyle, gorgeous weather and is why I, who lived
in Hawaii and have  traveled around the
world, consider Bali the best place to live in the world.
