The virtuoso piano trio H ZETTRIO will hold a showcase live to coincide with World Music Day on June 21, for their flagship program, “SPEED MUSIC Sokudo no Ongaku.” On this program, which covers one “timeless masterpiece” from any genre in the country each week with fast-paced, inventive arrangements, they seriously engage with the works of renowned artists and captivate many fans with their unique expression. With their technically demanding piano described as a unique “zero-gravity technique,” and a sharp rhythm section underpinning their distinctive ensemble, they are a band whose original-material-driven approach has earned broad support across genres, generations, and nations, and this will be a premium stage that challenges many artists to a serious musical showdown. And this time, guest appearances by musician Naruyoshi Kikuchi, who demonstrates multifaceted talents across a wide range of genres with jazz at the center, have been decided. Thanks to the audio brand JBL, whose energetic sound has captivated many jazz musicians and fans since the brand’s inception, two dream collaborations will come to fruition.

＜JBL コメント＞
JBL has long been associated with Jazz to the point that “Jazz is JBL,” and its energetic sound has captivated many jazz musicians and fans since the brand’s birth. Since April, they have been running a campaign under the catchphrase “Music! Music and Forward.” To liven World Music Day on June 21 in JBL’s own style, they approached H ZETTRIO, who propose new ways to enjoy Jazz with their original concepts, and Naruyoshi Kikuchi, who demonstrates multifaceted talents across a wide range of genres with Jazz at the core. They kindly agreed, and the dream collaboration between two jazz-loving acts has been realized.
