Tokyo Echoes: Joris Posthumus Group Live at Jazz House Naru
The legendary heartbeat of Tokyo’s jazz scene meets modern creative fire. In March 2026, the Joris Posthumus Group stepped onto the iconic stage at Live House Naru—one of the capital’s most famous, historic, and revered basement jazz sanctuaries.
This photo collection captures the fast-paced intensity, formal elegance, and electric energy of the Tokyo jazz circuit. The room was packed to absolute capacity, fueled by an unexpected global community. Many hotel guests met during late-night smoking terrace conversations at my base in Otsuka felt the connection and came out to pack the venue, creating a vibrant, full-house atmosphere. These frames document an unforgettable cross-cultural musical brotherhood.
