friday nite at Avanti

The last september 23, was a milestone in our GruvAvénue record. It was in fact, a night reserved for music, and highlighted our band senza singing! Many Thanks to the supportive management team in Avanti and their patrons. We had audience dancing since the band started. *surprise*. The original tunes from the album GruvAvénue were given makeovers, with new solos and extended plays. There's a few unreleased new originals from the band leader, Vincent. This guy simply amazed us by composing one song after another! Well done! If you're wondering, don't look any further. he's the fella playing the henessy XO bottle-like instrument, commonly known as double bass. Doesn't that look alike? Other songs of the nite included motown hits rock with you which started a la michael jackson, and ventured into the regent of jazz, thanks to shazzy's wonderful lines, while the crowd was dancing.

The lucky winner of our Jazz Selekta - GruvAvénue cd giveaway contest, Hui Ling was here with her youthful parents. i hope they had a great time. For any parents who have doubts whether to send your children for tertiary music education, please come to our shows some time, hopefully these would give you all some ideas of what performance is about, and help you making the right (or wrong?!) decisions. Local celebrities who graced our show included the very (extremely!) tall and handsome JFK and deejay Burn. They popped by during their intermission of a beauty contest around. Now, please don't get me wrong! They're not the contestants! they're the judges! Practically everyone hot-blooded male's dream job! Veteran entertainer Mr. Sharizan Borhan was in the house as well, so we took the chance and requested him to join us and performed a marvellous rendition of come fly with me. Other netizens and local jazz activists who're present were jazz critics Eugene from alldatjazz.com and his protege, the charming Brian.

Definitely the best is yet to come. and i'll keep you close.
