It’s been a busy two weeks for me. I thank GOD for that! I’ve been busy playing and stuff, I hardly even had time to go exercising!
This next two weeks, I’ll definitely be busy as a bee, so here’s why!
The KL Hard Bop Quintet @ Avanti’s Friday Nite Jazz
Date and Time:
25 Nov 2005, Friday. Music starts 10pm onwards
Venue:
Avanti’s Italian-American Ristorante, Sunway Hotel, Sunway.
Admission: Free
Contact: 03-7492 8000 ext 3176 for reservations.
The KL Hardbop Quintet, a newly formed dynamic group, will be the first few groups ever to play bop classics from the 50s – 70s, with influences ranging from the great Cannonball Adderley Quintet to Horace Silver. In addition, they will also inject modern stylistic influences into the music, creating a palette of traditional and modern expression. They made their performance debut in KL at Alexis Bistro, Ampang earlier in the year. So if you’ve missed that show, don’t miss this one!
Led by Julian Chan on saxophones, he will be backed up by some of KL’s most stellar musicians around, including David Gomes on piano, Wan Azfarezal on double bass, Charles Wong on drums. Also get ready for some special guests performers to sit in with the band!
Sit back, and enjoy the “HARD BOP”- style sound presented and re-interpreted by this newly formed quintet.

Having said that…
