Sapporo City Jazz's main summer event, North JAM Session, is back. It will be held for 2 days to commemorate the renewal of the Sapporo Art Park Outdoor Stage, which has completed a year of renovation work. On August 29th (Sat), we will deliver a passionate session unique to Sapporo City Jazz, featuring artists that Sapporo City Jazz is proud of, such as Tomoaki Baba and Shun Ishiwaka, as well as the new project "acustica" by Ryo Miyachi (b), the winner of the 2018 Park Jazz Live Contest, and the promising new star "Lambda Shift (Santa Ishiwaki Quartet)," last year's contest winning band.

Also, on the 30th (Sun), under the title "North JAM Session meets BLUE NOTE TOKYO," artists selected by Blue Note Japan will appear on the Art Park Outdoor Stage.
