Bringing The World To Indonesia
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.
During the four years of the festival, collaborations create a new musical harmony. People of diverse background (nation and culture) meet in harmony through jazz.
Peter F. Gontha, the director claims that musicians are the appropriate ambassadors to vocalize peace.

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“I take enormous pleasure every time I see something that I’ve done that cannot be wiped out. In some way ... I guess it’s a protest against mortality. But it’s been so much fun! It’s the curiosity that drives me. It’s making a difference in the world that prevents me from ever giving up.”
—Deborah Meier (b. 1931)
