17 February - Friday
THE HAPPY PEOPLE QUINTET LIVE! @ AVANTI'S FRIDAY NITE JAZZ
We're back! It's been almost a year since this band has played. The line-up has changed a bit, as our previous piano player, Justin (sorely missed and irreplaceable!) is in the US of A studying his Masters in composition. For now, we've got newcomer Leonard Yeap on piano and keys joining us. We'll be playing a variety of contemporary jazz tunes, ranging from Kenny Garrett, Bob Mintzer, Yellowjackets, John Scofield, Chick Corea, and even one original tune of ours (composed by Justin, really!).
The Happy People Quintet is:
Julian Chan - saxophones, flute
Eddie Wen - trumpet, flugelhorn
Charles Wong- drums
Nazrin "AJ" - electric bass
and introducing Leonard Yeap - piano/keyboards.
Venue: Avanti's Italian-American Restaurant, Sunway Hotel and Resort, Sunway.
Time: Music starts 9:30pm
Admission: Free entrance (but probably have to buy drinks)
Reservations: Call 03-7492 8000 ext. 3176
18 February - Saturday
THE JJ JAZZ ENSEMBLE - AVANTI'S SPECIAL
The JJ Jazz Ensemble is formed by two amazing musicians, Chan Cheong Jan (piano) and Joseph Arnesto (double bass), as a special project together. Experimentation and improvisation is the focus of their music, merging different musical influences, from Chinese, Brazilian, Latin, as well as other Western grooves, from funk to swing.
This show will feature several soloists (including myself), in several segments, and includes special guest Prof. Ooi Eow Jin on vibes! There'll be a woodwind section, including saxophones, flute, and even harmonica.
Expect nothing short of great music, so make yourself available and check out this awesome band!
Venue: Avanti's Italian-American Restaurant
Time: 9.30pm
Admission: Free
Reservations: Call 03-7492 8000 ext. 3176
I hope I can see you there!
