The Spirit Behind Jazz initiated from disappointment of ITB Jazz towards jazz music concerts nowadays. According to them, many jazz concerts have lost the taste of jazz itself. They assess more commercial value on college campuses than the value of free expression through jazz. Therefore, ITB Jazz was motivated to carry the event that presents a real jazz, namely the freedom to experiment with musical instruments.

The Spirit Behind Jazz concert was divided into five sessions. Each session performed four songs that have been arranged by ITB Jazz musicians themselves. Some of the songs performed are Children of the Night, Waltz for Debby, Misty, and Rather Be. In the last session, the ITB Jazz musicians collaborated with Albert Fakdawer performed of Have Fun Go Mad, Toxic, Stevie Wonder Medley, and Sugar. This collaboration closed the performance that night.
