Though the tickets were free to public, I understand it was actually sponsored by National Arts Council. Nontheless, it was a swinging good time for me as much as it were for the rest fo the audience crowd.
My favourite tune was one with the (Italian?) title that means "Speech to oneself". It is a tune that has an Oriental-Asian fusion twist to it. And it was composed by non other than Jeremy Monteiro, "Singapore's King of Swing".
But I would say, and I think most of the audience would agree to is, the "showmanship award" should go to the bass guitarist. I forgot his name, but this is what he looks like.
Total indulgence in performing his craft.Here are the rest of the pictures I took.
Oh and yes, dinner (from Kinara) after Jazz concert. What a way to enjoy a Saturday evening!
(Note: Even as I was writing this entry, I was tuned into the jazz channel on iTunes Radio!)
