Genting International Jazz Fest 2008

Though gruvavenue won't be performing within the Genting International Jazz Festival 2008 this year, i managed to put up these talented cats (Black Machine Trio & SVS) to give their patrons a good variety of great jazz from traditional standards to future sounds. Performances starts from 12 noon to 9 PM weekly, and until 6 PM on festival dates. Selected venues include The Bakery, First World lobby, Resort Hotel Lobby and Latte@ Genting.

If you're wondering "who & who" are gonna perform "where & when", explores and walk around the cafes, bistros, and lobbies. We'll be there to perform some chill music at places least expected. Happy "treasure hunting"! Admission is free. However i strongly suggest you get a cuppa hot drink and something to munch! Warning: The food is TEMPTING!

Quote from Artistic Director of GIJF:
"All the bands that are slotted to play for this year are performing very different genres of jazz music. Expect to hear African jazz, blues, virtuostic Brazilian mandolin improvisations, Caribbean jazz, celtic-cuban salsa big band, Jamaican reggae-jazz and much much more."
