Last year, Gentle Forest Jazz Band — celebrating its 20th anniversary since formation — kicked off a Tokyo-Osaka Billboard Live Tour! Founded in 2005 around Gentle Kubota, the trombonist of Zainichi Funk, the group features 17 instrumentalists and a trio of vocalists, delivering an exciting, laughter-filled live performance that has earned support from across generations. By infusing modern sensibilities into danceable swing jazz and continuing to present new entertainment, the “busiest big band in Japan” brings to life a heart-pounding, top-notch swing night—please join us.
