TOKYO, JAPAN (Top40 Charts) TOKYO JAZZ started in 2002 with Herbie Hancock and is now in its 20th year. More than 5,000 artists from Japan and around the world, from up-and-coming artists to legends who have contributed to the history of jazz, have participated in the event. They have all performed with the underlying theme of Under the theme of "Into a Future Beyond Borders and Generations." This year marks the 20th anniversary of the festival.

The in-person festival has been held online since 2020, with hopes of returning to a live festival in the future. Under the theme of "a musical trip around the globe," the festival will feature many artists from all over the world, from rising stars to legends, while introducing the archives of many iconic performances from the past.

[Special 1: A Tribute to Chick Corea]
Chick Corea passed away suddenly at the age of 79 in February of this year, so we'd like to present a memorial segment. In the fifty-three years since 1968, he visited Japan more than fifty times.
Chick performed a number of times at Tokyo Jazz over the years, always delivering the joy of music to everyone who listened.
