The inaugural  Sanur Mostly Jazz Festival will be held on 14-16 July 2017 at Griya Santrian Hotel beach, Sanur, Bali.

 

Musicians who will perform on the two stages during the two days and dawn event include Balawan, Dewa Budjana Zentuary, Indra Lesmana Surya Sewana, Idang Rasjidi, Ito Kurdhi Chemistry, and Koko Harsoe Trio.

Other artists include Mergie Segers, Nancy Ponto, Nesia Ardi, Oele Pattiselano Trio, Sandhy Sondoro, Sandy Winarta Trio, Tohpati, and Yuri Mahatma Quartet. Several young musicians also will display their talents at the festival, which organisers hope will become an annual event.

 

This festival is initiated by three strong  supporters of jazz development in Bali: Musician couple Indra Lesmana and Hon Lesmana and young hospitality entrepreneur Ida Bagus Gde Sidharta Putra (Gusde).

 

The Sanur Mostly Jazz Festival, aside from celebrating 48 performances of Mostly Jazz at Griya Santrian Hotel, also provides an opportunity for young talent.

Gusde, who is the chairman of Sanur Village Festival (SVF), says this festival is in conjunction with the upcoming Sanur Village Festival from 9-13 August. Thematically, Sanur Mostly Jazz Festival is similar and is the official opening event for the Sanur Village Festival 2017.

 

Inheriting the creative, interactive and collaborative jazz spirit, Gusde hopes this musical moment can bring optimism.

 

“From a tourism perspective, this event is in keeping with Bali’s community culture. We hope this jazz festival can enhance already existing activities and contribute to bring in many jazz lovers from the world to Bali,” said Gusde who is also the chairman of Denpasar tourism board or Badan Promosi Pariwisata Daerah (BPPD) Kota Denpasar.
