International artists participating in the program include: Professor Hakan Rydin (Sweden), Dr. Steve Barry, Damon Poppleton, Bernice Tesara, Cailey Soon, George Greenhill (Australia); 2 special guests are artists Nguyen Tuan Nam and Dao Kien.

According to the Director of the Vietnam National Academy of Music, the program was planned more than a year ago. In the program, a number of international and Vietnamese Jazz works such as: Nostalgia, Moonlight in Vermont, Breezin, Inh lá ơi (Vietnamese folk song, arranged by Tran Luu Hoang), Feels Like Home (Nguyen Tuan Nam)... will be performed by Vietnamese and international Jazz artists.
