The JVC International Jazz Festival Program started in 1984 when JVC teamed up with Jazz impresario George Wein to create an event that for the past 24 years has been a driving force behind the growing popularity of Jazz music around the globe without pause ever since. JVC's longstanding involvement with Jazz stemed from the company's audio industry heritage, which began in 1927 with the production of records and gramophones. JVC had since grown into one of the world's leading manufacturers of consumer electronics products and over the past twenty years, JVC has sponsored over 160 major Jazz festivals to live audiences of over five million people. The festivals have presented over 50,000 individual musicians.
