Bandung Barat Regent Jeje Ritchie Ismail expressed optimism that the upcoming TP Jazz Universe Greatest Movie Soundtrack concert will significantly benefit the local economy. The event, a collaboration between TP Jazz Management and Kota Baru Parahyangan, is set to take place on September 4, 2026, at the Mason Grand Ballroom, Mason Pine Hotel.

Several musicians, including Dwiki Dharmawan, Dira Sugandi, Dirly Dave, Rimar Calista, and Sandy Sondoro, are slated to perform jazz renditions of iconic national and international film songs. Ismail highlighted that such events attract jazz enthusiasts from outside the region, who will likely engage with local businesses, enjoy culinary offerings, and support micro, small, and medium enterprises.
