Lunchtime Jazz Concert

Session Content

The same band that played at Woo EC Fes Japan 2020 will be playing this lunchtime jazz show.

Last time, we asked the musicians to play a song named after the performer, whose chord name is based on the version of WordPress.

This time, I asked them to play a song that might be related to online shops and Thanksgiving.

We look forward to seeing what jazz classics they have in store for us.

Target audience (people who want to hear the session)

It is not intended to restrict the viewing of this program to anyone other than the above.
