JAKARTA - The Indonesian Jazz Forum (FJI) has completed the 2024 FJI Jazz Summit which was held for two days at IFI Thamrin, Central Jakarta on July 26 and 27 last week.
Chico Hindarto as Chairman of the FJI Management Board said that the holding of the Summit Jazz was due to Indonesia's great potential for jazz in the Asia-Pacific region.
According to Chico, Indonesia should play an active role in developing jazz in the region.
"We want to claim that Indonesia is an important point for jazz in Asia-Pacific. And there are many stakeholders. We have many festivals here," said Chico Hindarto when met after the 2024 FJI Jazz Summit.
"Japan and Australia are important, but Indonesia is no less important," he added.
In this case, said Chico, Indonesia outperforms Singapore and Australia to hold a jazz music conference that presents various stakeholders.
"It's not that we want to be arrogant, but indeed we need a good relationship with the community inside, with the community outside, even beyond the community itself. That's what we expected," Chico said.
We consider this a joint work. Nothing is better than working together.
Meanwhile, FJI Jazz Summit 2024 presents discussions on panels, jazz music training, to showcases from domestic and foreign musicians.
The four discussion themes presented were "Jazz & Diplomacy" with speakers Jules Irrmann and Kiera Emmons, "Jazz Industry" with speakers Astrid Sulaiman, Daniel Adisumarta, and Alvin Ghazali, Jazz Education with speakers Sri Hanuraga, Otto Stuparitz, and Chanutr Techathanan, as well as Jazz Ecosystem with speakers Susan Peh, Candra Darusman and Alfred Ticoalu.

Meanwhile, showcase performers are Noé Clerc Trio (France), Mikail Al Rabbdia, Arnando Putra & Frank Pattinasarasany, Daniel Dyonisius, and Simone Prattico Trio (Italy).
Chico Hindarto believes FJI Jazz Summit will be the right annual agenda to encourage Indonesia to play a more active role in developing jazz in the Asia-Pacific region.
I always think this is the first time. We still need a lot to learn. I am also ready with input and all kinds of things. Because our main goal is to strengthen the development of jazz," concluded Chico Hindarto.
