Mount Indonesia's PROBOLINGGO - Jazz as a promoter of the Mount Series Jazz event still has a big commitment to supporting the development of the jazz music ecosystem in the country.
As revealed by Dewa Budjana, one of the curators of the Mount Series Jazz, which makes this event distinctive is the presence of young jazz musicians, although it can be said that the available slots are not as many as other festivals.
"What I like is the concept of Mount Jazz always featuring young musicians. That's what I've been paying attention to for a long time," said Dewa Budjana at a press conference in Jiwa Jawa Bromo, Probolinggo, Saturday, July 19.
According to Budjana, the jazz ecosystem in Indonesia is already bigger with the presence of many young musicians. Therefore, it is important to give them the opportunity to appear for them, not only in small spaces with dozens of spectators, but music festivals with thousands of spectators.
"We see jazz in Indonesia is very large, very advanced. Honestly, if I play jazz, maybe I will take responsibility, just win first birth, many young people are better off, it's a shame if it's not shown," he said.
In addition, Bagas Kandinatmono as CEO of Mount Indonesia Jazz said that his party is always open to young and new musicians. But one thing that is an important requirement, they must have original works.

The main thing is to have their own work, because we really appreciate those who really have works. In jazz, it's normal for musicians to bring standard jazz, but we have additions, they must have their own work," said Bagas.
On several occasions, said Bagas, even some young musicians felt the stage of their first festival at the Gunung Jazz event.
To participate in developing the potential of young jazz musicians in the country, the Mount Series 2025 Jazz held a Bromo Jazz Camp for a jazz music workshop program which will be held at Rehat Bromo, Probolinggo on June 20-25.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Mount Series Jazz was held in three series in two places. The first and second series were held at Mount Bromo, while the third series was held at Mount Ijen.
The 2025 Mount Series Jazz on Bromo also features several young performers, including Emptyyy and Natasha Elvira.
