Special update..

Just a little update..

This March 9 and 10 show at the Top Room, we've got a special guest joining us for both the evenings. He's back from New York for Chinese New Year holidays, and he plays a mean violin. His name is Fung Chern Hwei.. and he's probably one of the best Malaysian violin players in town. I think we're gonna do some interesting stuff.. so do come by to the gig on March 9 and 10. Check out the upcoming gigs column on your right for details...

Later.

Some plans for 2007!

Hey everyone!

Just to let you know, we've got some interesting stuff lined up for the first half of the year!!

As promised, I'm working on lining up some interesting gigs for the next couple of months, and some of them might happen too. There'll definitely some shows at the Top Room (a weekend in March is confirmed), but there's a possibility of playing centerstage in an upcoming jazz festival, too. So I'm crossing my fingers for that, and I hope you will too!! There's also something in the works for a big show sometime before June. More information will be posted, once we've worked things out. But whatever it is, I do hope you will come over to watch us, and support us, and support the jazz scene in general. I speak not just on behalf of the band, but for all jazz musicians in KL, that your support for the music and the arts is crucial, and very much appreciated! There's much potential for jazz and the arts to flourish in Malaysia. And when the scene flourishes and get richer, we'd really have a kick-butt scene!!

On a side note...

As most of you will know, I'm already planning to leave for NYC in the middle of the year, so it seems that I also will have to leave this band for a couple of years. But I'm quite sure I'll be leaving it in good hands. I know... I just formed this band late last year, and I'm leaving this year. Well, I've got my reasons. But I just know it had to be formed, and also to play some kick-butt music for all of ya!

Till then.. stay tuned.
