For five days, "De Jazz Centrale" provides two jazz trios every day, which pay off in shifts and provide guests with appealing decor.
A standing ovation of SONY's exhibition team (about 35 man) to the musicians during the closing of the fair testifies to the great success of the jazz professionals of the Jazz Centrale.
