Years by years the visitor growing until hit more than 130.000 visitors from last 2015 event.

JJF’s motto, “Bringing the World to Indonesia”, is implemented through the act of inviting numerous international artists to the festival. This is not only intended to treat the public with a feast of international talents, but also as an opportunity for international artists to see the talent of Indonesia’s jazz musicians, as well as jazz improvisations paired with Indonesian traditional music and also arouse collaborations on JJF's stages. Peter F. Gontha, the director claims that musicians are the appropriate ambassadors to vocalize peace.
