Friday Night on TRAC with Tim, Rodrigo, Aya, Christy.

It
was only this morning that I realized I had totally forgotten about Rani
Singam’s tribute to Nina Simone at the Sultan Jazz club last night. It would
have been fun to do some set hopping between Blu Jaz and Sultan They are
conveniently located at walking distance from each other. Regrets are a waste
of time and I did enjoy myself thoroughly at Blu Jaz alone. I’d first made a
little detour for totally satisfying tapas meal at MAD at the old Turf Club. I
skipped desert only to finish off my dinner with a beautiful coffee based
cocktail, created on the spot, by the creative mind of Kino Soh. The atmosphere
at Blu Jaz was, as it is often, chilled with lots of familiar faces, especially
towards the later part of the evening, when a jamming mood takes over, and
people get out of their comfort zone. At Blu Jaz the early bird does not always
catch the worm. Aya Sekine put another great band together, with bass maestro
Christy Smith, sax virtuoso Timothy O'Dwyer and of course feasting on the visit
of the class act drummer Rodrigo Villanueva-Conroy, from the U.S. I did hip hop up
to the second floor, to listen to a couple of tunes from the turn tables.
Louis Quek filled the room with a refreshing mix of dance tunes. As said
regrets are a waste of time, my evening enjoying music was great. My apologies
to Rani, Nina and Sultan though.
