Nagoya Heritage: Joris Posthumus Group Live at Jazz Inn Lovely.

Capturing the deep soul of an unforgettable performance on a truly remarkable night. On March 20th—a highly celebrated public holiday across Japan—the Joris Posthumus Group stepped into the historic embrace of Jazz Inn Lovely in Nagoya. Steeped in global jazz history, this legendary venue has played host to iconic sounds from all corners of the earth for decades.

This photo collection highlights the vibrant energy and artistic focus of our dynamic four-piece lineup. The evening featured a breathtaking live collaboration as renowned jazz painter Akira Yokoi created a stunning group impression canvas directly alongside us while we were working on stage. Playing to a holiday crowd inside a room alive with decades of musical stories, the live show carried a profound, shared connection between the music, the visual art, and the audience. These photographs beautifully freeze those timeless moments of cross-disciplinary exploration in one of Japan’s most revered jazz landmarks
