Miyamoto 300 Theater "OLD TIME JAZZ CONCERT: Showa 100 - The Era of Tatami, Gramophones, and Jazz"

About this event

A concert performing the jazz of the 78 RPM record era (1920s-1940s) in the style of that time. During this era, also known in Japan as Traditional Jazz or Old Jazz, numerous stylish tunes were created in the United States, recorded onto discs by many bands, and played to accompany dancing. In this performance, alongside the music performed by the Clambake Ensemble (Clambon Gakudan), you can enjoy Japanese literature from the same era paired with storytelling. Performers include Kyoichi Watanabe on clarinet and saxophone, Hiroshi Abe on guitar, Atsushi Matsunaga on double bass, Ai Abe on piano and percussion, and Takashi Ishinabe on vocals and narration. Scheduled musical selections include "Blue Skies," "Singin' in the Rain," "Blue Moon," "Gauche the Cellist," and others. Admission is free, with a capacity of 300 people. A lottery will be held if applications exceed capacity.
