10th Sept – 12th Sept

September 10, 2009

No, it has not been a short week @ Blu Jaz but rather a lack of wireless access. If you’ve missed the fantastic Omniform, Grooveworks AND reggae night, you should MOST defintiely check out some Magic Fling tonight.
Swing Fling, co-hosted, by Jitterbugs Swingapore sees lindy hoppers of all levels strutting and trying out some social (and stunt) moves tonight. Complimentary class from 7:30pm onwards @ Cafe and music thereafter till 11pm! And if being a voyeur is your cup of tea, watch out for Danny, our Illusionist, who will take card tricks to a new level. 8pm onwards – all around.

FRIDAY

Fuse Collective doesn’t just rock out @ Cafe this friday but instead, woo us with some funk and soul. Muhd Noor leads with out of the world percussion. 9:30pm onwards

And if you missed our regular Wednesday Reggae nights with DJ Divine, you might wanna consider catching DJ Nomsta with Jammin’ – reggae with passion, reggae with heart. 9pm onwards @ Lounge

SATURDAY

Add a little crazy, add a little lurrrve with Ayaschool this weekend. She is here. And so should you be. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe

44 Beatz returns, being the doctors of good vibrations. Eclectic mix of jazz infused, funky house and electronica before moving into deeper, hi-tech territory. Kick off is 9pm @ Lounge. Dishing up sounds that make it easy for you to coalesce, get on the floor or just bob your head and let your mind wonder to a place where music is the answer and all tribes speak the same tongue.

Peace Out!

27th July – 1st Aug

July 26, 2009

The brush from the falling leaf, notes of singing birds, intermittent reflection for the late afternoon sun, we invite you for a cuppa, al fresco style @ Blu Jaz – take a coffee break – we serve them a la mode, an affogato, if you will. Highlights this week:-

Monday

A new arrangement – Origins is a 6 piece group with passion, playing their originals and covers, Leo leads with rhythms and horns following – a night of bluenote, birdland jazz styles. 9pm onwards @ Cafe

Thursday

Can we say Swing Magic?! It’s a wicked combination with Jitterbugs helming Swing Fling – a lindy hop session for those with 2 left feet, right feet, whatever hands and fee you think you’ve got! A free taster class for the uninitiated from 7:30pm onwards @ Cafe and then put on those dancing shoes while DJ Sing spins blues, jazz, charleston on deck.

Those chillin’ and on their behinds on our lovely Blu Jaz seats, watch for Danny, our resident Illusionist for some wonderous magic. Leave those cynical hearts at home and just dwell in our magic for the night. 8pm onwards @ all 3 levels

Friday

Let’s all JUMP JUMP JUMP for joy as we welcome Greg Lyon’s Quartet back this Friday – all the way from the chilled, wet winds of London, Greg returns with refreshed energy for all good patrons. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe

YO YO YO! Hot off the press! Read all about it! For tonight only, we’re doing the rojak of Jazz lovers – featuring Floods on drums, Bani on Bass, Mei on Keys and Corey Manders on sax.. it DA BOMB - why? cos they rock. So check them out TONIGHT @ Cafe from 9:30pm onwards. Regular program resumes next week. :)

Boogie on down with Pushin’ On for their monthly crazeeeee and mind blowin’ aural installment @ Blu Jaz. From Funk to hip hop to soul, they only give you their best. Every time. 9pm onwards @ Lounge

For those who crave for a little something more international, our new duo plays it like none other – featuring Muhd Noor and Sean Letts on a myriad of musical instruments, these 2 hotties (musical hotties, that is !) will bring you on a journey from the Middle East to Africa and mayhaps even New Orleans. 9pm onwards @ Space

Saturday

After a smashin’ Sat night with the Wicked Aura boys last Sat, Ayaschool returns with a brand new vocalist to Blu Jaz – Han Jin. In store for us would be great music and effectious energy from Aya and crew. Nothing but the best from her sets. I would say be there or be square, but that,  itself, isn’t detrimental. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe.

Nomsta from “Jammin’” brings on a new night with new boys – tHUMSUP – a nite of booty bass, proper electro, afro bassliness, nasty fun, dirty partying and our secret mascot with some cunning visuals. Basically, a night of fun and I’m not saying that it’s clean either. 9pm onwards @ Lounge

Jive etc is more than just etecera etecera etecera with Saskia and gang. Bringing their love of Reggae from the Philippines, they invite their friends to share some of them sweet tunes with them. Join them and dance to a different beat. 9:30pm onwards @ Space
Peace out
