rattlebag x TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS at Bullitt, Belfast on Wed 22 Mar

rattlebag x TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS is a unique listening event, designed to capture the essence and ambience of the unparalleled listening spaces of Japan's 'jazu kissa'. It will provide a brief introduction to both the project and the culture of jazz kissa, with an active listening experience centred around specially selected jazz records, curated and introduced by Philip Arneill.

This event will be fully seated with doors open from 7pm and the event begins at 7.30pm, so please be prompt. No entry will be allowed after 7.30pm. Ticket price of £10 includes a bespoke rattlebag cocktail in association with Campari.

TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS is an audiovisual documentary project to capture the vanishing world of Japanese jazz coffee shops (‘kissa’) and bars, created by Belfast-born photographer Philip Arneill, and broadcaster and native New Yorker James Catchpole. Both are long-term residents of Japan and avid jazz fans, and since 2015 have been visiting jazu kissa across the country to document them before they disappear from the musical landscape forever. The TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS photobook will be published in Spring 2023 by Kehrer Verlag.
