Pacific Rim Shots

As of late, Jazzphil has been receiving much information about gigs occuring in places in and around the Pacific Rim as it is called. In a salute to Filipino and Filipino-American jazz heads, both practitioners and aficionados, we have dedicated this page to the happenin’s in places like California, Hong Kong, Japan and anywhere else the Filipino jazz sounds can be heard. Afterall, this is a Global World. W ebmaster
