Tokyo Jazz Festival 2014

Japan's biggest jazz festival always features a highly diverse (although sometimes uneven) lineup, with this year's edition seeing appearances by everyone from the venerable Herbie Hancock to pianist Makoto Ozone and from the Christian McBride Big Band to R&B wizard Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds. As was the case last year as well, the main concerts will be complemented by more intimate shows across the road at the Cotton Club, plus free gigs held in TIF's open-air plaza.
