TOKYO, July 1, 2026 — Fever, one of the world's largest platforms for culture and live entertainment, announced today that it will hold additional performances for its immersive live experience "The Jazz Room: A Journey to the Heart of New Orleans" on September 19, 2026 (Sat) and November 19, 2026 (Thu) at BLUE NOTE PLACE in Ebisu, Tokyo. Tickets will go on sale starting July 1, 2026 (Wed).
This performance is an immersive live experience inspired by the culture and spirit of New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. The initial performance in Japan, held on August 6, 2026, sold out shortly after tickets went on sale, receiving a great deal of positive feedback, which led to the decision to add performances in September and November.
"The Jazz Room" is a live event that allows attendees to experience the history, improvisation, and rich emotional expression of jazz in an intimate setting reminiscent of a 1920s New Orleans jazz club. Guests can enjoy drinks and food at table seats close to the stage, enveloped in the energy and realism unique to live music.
During the approximately 60-minute performance, accomplished musicians will move between meticulously arranged pieces and free improvisation, embodying the charm of jazz that can only be created in the moment. Attendees can enjoy an immersive musical experience that makes them feel like a part of the live performance.
Furthermore, this performance is part of a new series of live experiences from Fever, following "Candlelight," and is an attempt to reinterpret the genre of jazz in a more accessible and contemporary way.
The performance on September 19 (Sat) will feature "Moonlight Jazz Band," and the performance on November 19 (Thu) will feature "Mao Sone Standard Jazz Project," who also performed in the August shows. Each will deliver the charm of jazz, which spread from New Orleans to the world, with their distinct styles and expressions. Attendees can enjoy live performances by accomplished musicians.
