Each year, the All-Star Global Concert brings together acclaimed jazz artists from around the world for a performance spanning styles, cultures, and languages. In the spirit of International Jazz Day, organizers select a venue with rich historical significance, representing jazz’s ability to connect disparate traditions and cultural identities. In 2014, Osaka, Japan’s beautiful Osaka Castle Park will host more than 30 world-renowned performers and an audience of thousands in celebration of the third annual International Jazz Day. Opened in 1931, the park features hundreds of Japan's famous cherry trees and surrounds Osaka Castle, a spectacular example of the Azuchi-Momoyama period. The castle was originally commissioned by General Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1583. It served as a symbol of Toyotomi’s power as he continued the military campaign that would effectively unify Japan, ending nearly 200 years of military conflict and socio-political unrest. Damaged, destroyed, and restored repeatedly through the centuries, the castle has come to represent the elegance and indomitable spirit of both the city of Osaka and Japan.
