Profile
Soul i Jazz Band
The Swing Jazz Band was formed mainly by graduates of Souai University.
The group is composed of six members: Takuya Kawakami, Hikaru Hasegawa, and Takuro Yamashita, who established the Jazz Lab at a university specializing in classical music, plus Koji Shionoya, Masashi Yoshida, and Eisei Nishiguchi.
While they went their separate ways after college and played in different styles of swing bands, they performed together for the first time in about 10 years.
Since then, the band has performed once or twice a year, and in 2020, after a performance at New Suntory 5 in Osaka, the band began in earnest as a regular band at the restaurant.
A happy band full of entertainment with the experience each of them has cultivated and the longtime friendship between them.' ,
'profile' => 'A swing jazz band that fits the city of Kobe!
The performance of each of the six powerful, character-driven performers is a masterpiece!
Happy performances that make you want to dance on the dance floor and blow away the fatigue of the day!
