Welcome to Facebook

Would be nice if some forum members can get together and enjoy some jazz.

is entry open to all or by invitation only?

 

[panditji]

The entry is open to all and is free...however the drinks are priced on the higher side so for guys like me I listen to the music indise and then go out on the terrace after the performance for drinks as there are happy hours applicable....

ok - may be I can try as well for 24th. But traffic is too screwed up these days.

 

[panditji]

Even I had not heard about the artists but I think they seem pretty good....

 

[hifiashok]

any recollection, was your last experience unplugged, or like in the utoob vid (since i believe u were lucky to catch it)?

 

[marsilians]

music is OK but Vasundhara looks hot!

 

[panditji]

Ashok, I have never heard or seen these guys performing...Just got to know that they are performing from the Facebook link...I am assuming that the performance should be unplugged as in the youtube link..... Will get to know more about them on Friday...

Yesterday attended the wonderful performance of Adil (on guitar) and Vasundhara on vocals....Anyone who likes Jazz from the 40s and 50s would have been delighted at the performance....Vasundhara was excellent with superb control and Adil was very good ....they were joined by a bassist (forgot the name) in between for some songs who was simply brilliant......
Now I am not much into the 40s and 50s jazz but some of the songs that they played were :
Round midnight
Deep Water
Yesterday
Birdland (I had never heard the vocal version of this song before)
A french song which went over my head


Overall a brilliant performance although I would have enjoyed had they played a few bossa nova and some other popular tunes as the crowd was dozing off to sleep.....

Do watch out for these guys as they were outstanding....

Attended a fabulous concert yesterday organized by Alliance Francaise at the amphitheatre@garden of five senses by a french band called Electrodeluxe ...Now this was my kind of jazz with a saxophone, clarinet, keyboard (with loops), drums and a wonderful witty, high energy vocalist...This was my kind of music - Jazz with electronica although the performance moved towards smooth jazz as the performance progressed....
The group was able to make people dance to their music ...below is a link to one of their earlier performances :

The concert was made nicer by the good weather and the lovely outdoor setting...the only downside to it was the Foster Pints priced at Rs 250 and Dewars 30 ml at Rs 400 (;-)

Overall a memorable experience.....Hopefully with the winters nearing, we should have more such concerts....
