http://www.jsbee.net
Only several years until the 21st century, 5 musicians who are free from traditional
music approach were having session together and started to seek their music more
freely and started to their music career
. With their experimental and free their playing, and they had come to receive lots of
offers for gigs.
In those days, they had been playing without band name, however finally they named
their band as J’S BEE which comes from the architectual office which the
one of band members is running.
Then, through performance with DJ KRUSH, UFO, Gilles Peterson, JBP,
Toshinori Kondoh and lots of great artists,
their sound and band name had percorated through the music scene, gradually.
During few years of their performance, they changed their members few times, and
fixed current band members.
Now J’S BEE is giving live performance at the club around Japan and
also summer music festival,
advocated by Dalai Lama “World festival of Sacred Music Hiroshima” and
"Metamorphose".

J'sBee
21世紀まで数年を残した頃、既存の音楽ジャ㠃³ãƒ«ã«ã¨ã‚‰ã‚ã‚Œãªã„、
ミュージシャン５人が集まり、自由な形で楽 しめる音楽の画策をはじめました。
とても曖昧に活動していたにもかかわらず、 多くの出演依頼があり、
その頃、まだ決まっていなかったユニット名 を、メンバーの一人が営む建築関係の
会社の屋号の『 "J'sBee"でいいか』で決まってしまう。
その後、DJ KRUSH , UFO , GillesPeterson , JBP , 近藤等則 ,等との共演と共に
J'sBeeの名は浸透、本人たちの意に反して定着
なしくずし、正式なユニット名が『J'sBee』に なる。
その頃には、メンバーチェンジが数回あり、 現在のメンバーに至。
