Every fall there are music weeks held in Ark Hills. Among many events in September and October, I particularly like the Jazz Festivals. Last year it was absolutely free, but in 2016 the Jazz Festival was held in Ark Hills Cafe and the ticket was 3000 yen. It didn't stop me from visiting it though. The music performance in Ark Karajan was free, so during the breaks everyone could listen to other music too. One group from Ark Hills Cafe Jazz Festival played there. The ticket came with one drink (soft drink or alcohol). All in all, it was a great experience with really good music and a fantastic audience. The performers very friendly and answered my questions about their art.

This would be right up my alley. I'd love to hear some Taeko Ohnuki or even Ryo Fukui covers.
