BANYUWANGI - Irsa Destiwi again appeared at BRI Jazz Gunung Series 3 Ijen which was held at Amfiteater Taman Gandrung Terakota, Jiwa Jawa Resort, Banyuwangi on Saturday, August 9.
The tennis player who now lives in Bali appears with a trio concept, with the US contra bass player and badminton Boangerges on the drums.
This time it became Irsa's third appearance at Mount Ijen's Jazz. For him, appearing at this event became special. He praised the Mount Indonesia Jazz which gave a large portion to jazz musicians.
"Certainly very happy every time he comes here, but especially this year, because many other performances are also very good and play jazz," said Irsa, met after her performance by Ivan Two Putra of VOI.
In his appearance, Irsa performed her own songs, including Rosy Cheats, It Could Happen to You, My Name is Ruby, Those 5 Days, and Tree House.
For Irsa, what Mount Indonesia Jazz as the organizer does by providing flexibility for performers has a good impact on the jazz music ecosystem.
"For jazz musicians, it must be important (with this event). Because jazz musicians also need a place, where we can express or present our original songs in the right place, at the jazz festival," said Irsa.

"It means, not only jazz labels, but also jazz. At least 60 percent of jazz musicians are involved," he continued. The rest, here there are also those who are not jazz, right, but it's good, because 60 percent is above jazz.
BRI Jazz Gunung Series 3 Ijen is also special because of its different concepts showing jazz music in the midst of natural beauty.
Although his appearance was stopped due to rain, Irsa said he was satisfied with what was shown that night.
"In the midst of nature like this, and we can play jazz, that's amazing," he said.
"That's different from other jazz festivals. Maybe because we usually play indoors, in closed places. But we can be outdoors here, can be close to nature, and can feel the rain," said Isra with a smile.
