The growing popularity of jazz among young people in Indonesia is documented in the increasing numbers of jazz communities, whose members come mainly from universities, high schools and local music schools. Those are the places where many of their members make their first steps in learning jazz. Once a year they are given a chance to perform on Jakarta's only fulltime jazz club, Black Cat Jazz Supper Club.
