On 19 July, we had a performance at Hamanako Green Farm near Kanzanji Hotspa in Hamamatsu city. This is the 2nd performance there. We like this place because we have relaxed mood suurounded by green herb plants. We played 14 jazz numbers including three combo pieces. We often heve some combo performances on our live stage. They are not bad because we had harder rehearsals for the stage. We believe that this performance will be a good experience for us and it leads us to a success of our recital, to be held on 28th September. Also, we appreciate the audiences and "Let it be": presentator for this live. Too many thanks!!

This is the second stage for us. We had joint concert with reed club and MAYA (plays Andes music). JRO played some swing jazz numbers, Japanese Populer Songs (Enka), and theme songs of TV Animation with a homely atomosphare. We thought it good for us to have some concerts in rural hall a year.
