15th – 20th Dec

No doubt the weather seems a tad bit dreary but the silver lining is in the change of our supposedly one season temperature all year round -allowing for hot chocolates, warmer fashion, brandy and whiskey to get the nice warmth in our tummies.  We, the people of BLu Jaz, pledge ourselves to consistent friendly service and good food for our customers. And this week, a few highlights amongst our regular music makers.

17th Dec – Wed – Grooveworks with Greg Lyons @ Cafe (1st Flr) Set starts at 9pm

18th Dec – Thurs – Lila Drums’ last gig of the year and they be taking a break in 2009 @ Cafe (1st Flr) Set starts at 8:30pm – so come on down to catch some truly heartfelt African Drumming if you have not already done so.

19th Dec – Fri – Monster Trio – 9:30pm @ Cafe (1st Flr) Good Jazz. Need I say more?

DJ Luna spins @ Lounge (2nd Flr) from 9pm onwards. We’ll ease you, ladies and gentlemen, with some chilled tracks before revving it up to some electronic fused sounds.

And for those who are marching to a different beat – or entirely different culture, in this case, belly dance performance commences at 9:30pm @ Space (3rd Flr)

20th Dec – Sat – Ayaschool – 9:30pm @ Cafe (1st Flr) produces mean sounds. Infectious too. Aya and some of the Wicked boys will do us the honour again (and again – YAY!) with their passion and talent.

An explosion of music

Last week saw Aya and the Wicked Boys to new heights at the Cafe and a whole new host of belly dance performers at the Space on Saturday.  This week we bring back Lila Drums on Thursday ,18th September at the Cafe with Mamady Keita gracing the event and internationally certified Djembe teachers: Kelvin Kew, Jeremy Tomasck and Monette Marino-Keita, performing. A rockin’ kick *** set commencing from 8:30pm.

FRIDAY:
Bringing in the boys is Greg Lyon’s Monster Trio on Friday with the smooth sounds of Jazz from 9:30pm onwards on the 1st Floor and we see the lovely Kyoko with MORE belly dancing on the 3rd Floor @ Space from 9pm onwards.

SATURDAY:

Aya returns with the Wicked Boys and Bobby Singh and in her words: a Wicked Aura Ayazinha Especial special you cannot miss! We are pleased as punch that she has found a new height to her music and is sharing it with us, so if you’re in the mood to be inspired, join us for some wicked sounds.

And the band plays on

Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke – our awesome combination with Greg Lyons on Saxaphones on Fridays and Ayaschool on Saturdays and this week isn’t different with sweet sounds of jazz with Mr Lyons and wild jungle sounds from Aya.

Special Features in Sept:

Upcoming would be Lila Drums back for an encore this month on the 18th September @ Blu Jaz Cafe (1st Floor) from 8:30pm onwards. And resident belly dancer, Kyoko returns on the 19th Sept @ Blu Jaz Space from 8:30pm onwards. Our last Friday of the month sees Pushin’ On back at the consol at our Lounge to raise body temperatures by some degrees with their brand of funk soul and house.

Catch all of you around!

Drummin’ Good Times

“Good Times*” is a unique event where everybody is invited to let their guard down, shimmy on to good old school tunes, funky breaks, and boogie into the night as we up the tempo and pace.

“Good Times” is all for a night out with your best mates, filled with stupid incidents and crazy antics. We invite you to rock up to a night where you are the master of the dance floor.

We’ll clear space for you to bust your signature moves.

The night will feature old school hiphop, breakbeats, electro, dubstep, dnb and jungle provided by your favorite DJs…
