Overview
Last year, Gentle Forest Jazz Band celebrated its 20th anniversary by kicking off a Billboard Live Tour in Tokyo and Osaka. Formed in 2005 around Gentle Kubota, a trombone player from Zainichi Funk, the band features a 17-piece instrumental section and a three-member vocal group, delivering an exciting and laughter-filled live performance that has earned broad support across generations. By incorporating modern sensibilities into danceable swing jazz and continuing to bring forth new entertainment, they—often dubbed the busiest big band in Japan—invite you to join them for a heart-pounding, superb swing night.
