What is the JazzPacific Summit?
The JazzPacific Summit is a four-hour professional conference followed by a curated international festival showcase featuring emerging and established artists from across Asia and the Pacific.
Rather than a traditional webinar or showcase, the Summit functions as a working gateway into the U.S. music ecosystem — where artists learn directly from the professionals they must work with to build international careers.
Participants gain real-world knowledge on:
- Entering the U.S. jazz market
- Securing American performances and tours
- Building U.S. radio and streaming presence
- Working with managers, labels, and booking agents
- Using modern DIY tools and digital strategies for international success
In a world that often feels divided, jazz reminds us of what we share: rhythm, resilience, and the power of improvisation. At JazzPacific, we’re not just promoting music—we’re building a global community rooted in empathy, artistry, and connection.

Why This Summit Matters
Modern jazz careers require more than musicianship — they require global awareness, digital fluency, and cross-border collaboration. Yet many talented artists lack access to the networks and industry knowledge needed to enter international markets.
JazzPacific Summit 2026 directly addresses that gap.
By removing geographic barriers and providing direct contact with U.S. industry professionals, the Summit transforms international ambition into real opportunity — visibility, relationships, and sustainable career growth.
“This is not simply a conference. It is an entry point into the global jazz economy.”
From the Executive Director
“JazzPacific Summit was created to build real bridges between Asian jazz artists and the U.S. music industry.
Too often, talented musicians lack access to the knowledge and networks required to enter the American market.
This Summit changes that reality by delivering direct guidance, professional relationships, and global visibility — all in one space.”
— Mizuho Uchiyama, Executive Director, JazzPacific
