Bali Jazz Festival echoes the spirit of peace and love
Susi Andrini, Contributor, Kuta, Bali
The recent Bali Jazz Festival, the second of its kind held on the island, bore the special theme "The Spirit of Love and Peace". The festival successfully attracted both local and international jazz musicians.
Jakarta, Bandung in West Java and Surabaya in East Java are normally the cities people think of when it comes to jazz in Indonesia. The three have produced a number of talented musicians and have hosted numerous jazz shows and festivals. Bali, meanwhile, is usually associated with traditional music and performing arts. So placing Bali on the national, let alone the international jazz map, would take a fair bit of work.

Together with Urs Ramseyer, a Swiss pianist and anthropologist who has lived in Bali for more than 30 years, the Swiss musicians held a workshop for local musicians and students of ISI Denpasar, but the workshop failed to attract many participants.
Performing on the main stage at the Hard Rock Hotel, the Swiss jazz group showed their class. They played contemporary jazz based on compositions by Bill Evans and Enrico Pieranunzi.
