Sapporo, Aug 31st, 2014 – Upon returning from an exciting week at the 2014 GRAMMY Camp®, two students of the Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry’s Japan Music Fund performed on home ground together with three peers from the Kunitachi College of Music at Japan’s famed Sapporo City Jazz festival.
Headline attraction of the festival this year was American jazz legend – and 14-time GRAMMY winner – Herbie Hancock, who exceptionally led the five lucky students through a privileged master class. The intense session comprised a hands-on music lesson, which the students then integrated into their act that took place at the North Jam stage. The talented quintet opened the afternoon’s jazz program and set the scene for a vibrant schedule of concerts and free-style sessions.
