Tottori Jazz has been collaborating with the Detroit Jazz Festival since 2019. In 2024, a band centered around Tottori University students, The Bop’s , performed at the Detroit Jazz Festival. This time, Takumi Inoue, the leader of The Bop’s , will invite Himiko Kikuchi, the representative of Tottori Jazz, to perform as “Takumi Inoue Quartet featuring Himiko Kikuchi.” The set will showcase Inoue’s original compositions, combining the musicality of Tottori with traditional jazz. Having steadily expanded their activities since their debut at the DJF last year, the group will deliver the unique sound of Tottori’s music scene.
