NYE @ Blu Jaz

We’re not quiet. We’re merely gearing up for the party of the year – Blu Jaz style – Together with Good Time, we’re bringing you the mother of ALL parties and because of that we are CLOSED on 1st Jan and 2nd Jan, 2011 (yes we’ll give it so good that we’ll need 48 hrs to recover!)

So here is the low down:

20th Dec – 25th Dec

HAPPY HOLIDAYS and to all our Christian friends – Merry Christmas! We have the best way to celebrate this week – with friends. It’s our pleasure to offer you our cafe – as good as it has been – open on the 24th and 25th Dec for your bookings! Our Muzium 1 & 2 are perfect venues for your gatherings – as well as space and lounge. Do note, however we CLOSE at 1am all around on the 25th Dec for a staff party!

But if you’re hankering for a program, Kerong and friends put up at Space for some snazzy jazz on Thursday. Cover is SGD 15 for the musicians and set starts at 8:30pm

Friday – Christmas Eve – Aya has something special planned up her sleeve – I have a feeling that Hendrix might be of influence but we’ll see. Excitement is tangible and we recommend reservations. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe. Feeling tropical? From one island to another, Firman brings Reggae to Lounge and will be mixing some chillin’ to some chilli hot tunes late into the night. 9:30pm onwards.

And for those not too hungover, we bring in the day of contemplation (Saturday) with Ayaschool, so go ahead, join us for comfort fare with all its tasty goodness. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe.

Peace Out!

13th Dec – 18th Dec

Properly recovered from the weekend? News, news – read all about it – here.

If you haven’t heard – Piedra Negra – found hanging out at the corner of Beach Rd and Haji Lane – is open. The kitchen is a lovely hole in the wall, that isn’t quite a hole but a flurry of warm hot Mexican colours, serving spicy Sangria. Our Chef, Mario, comes from Mexico City and is happily helping us put on the pounds with his sinfullydelishcandiefor dishes. Don’t believe me. Please, try it for yourself. I ne’er bruff youse.

But over at Blu Jaz, we bring you a jam session TONIGHT – Munkee Business  – they call themselves and you can take you and your bizzzz up to Lounge to check out the core band or just holler your heart out with them – with an instrument – of course- this ain’t no Kareeeeoke. 8:30pm onwards… it’s freee. really.

And then the weekend arrives. Friday sees Kelvin Kew and Fanka Fellas drumming up a storm – quite literally. And in his words: Come dance with the coolest Djembe players in town. It’s a rock out party. 9:45pm onwards @ Cafe

It’s a comfort when Saturday is a promised night of great music, kick ass performers – Ayaschool slips onto stage and gives us our main course for the night – the music fit for the Devil himself. Seductive, exotic and cool to touch. Jazz at its finest. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe. We also break into our new DJ decks @ Piedra Negra – Eugene and friend take over with some progressive house and favorite sing-a-longs. 9pm onwards @ Piedra Duo (2nd flr to us cool kids.)

Peace, yo.
