Captured at the 2020 Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival, one of the largest jazz festivals in the world, this filmed full concert features Ardhito Pramono, an Indonesian singer-songwriter with a pronounced jazz-pop sensibility. A singer, pianist and guitarist, he wins over a wide audience with a refined repertoire blending jazz standards, bossa nova and introspective pop, sung in both English and Indonesian. On the stage of Java Jazz, a Jakarta institution, the artist unfolds an elegant set carried by a tight band, where hushed swing meets luminous pop melodies. This full concert illustrates the vitality of Southeast Asia’s young jazz-pop scene and the talent of a musician who has become one of the rising figures of Indonesian music. The capture conveys the warmth of the festival atmosphere and the finesse of the arrangements. A prime document for lovers of jazz, bossa nova and festival captures, recorded in Jakarta in 2020.
