JAZZ 101 went to town!

A wonderful time was had by all who were in attendance at last Sunday's JAM event at The Top Room. Some nearly 30 people sat through the almost 2-hour clinic masterminded by KL's jazz honcho, Michael Veerapen.

And as was all laid out in the "lesson plan", everyone learned more than a thing or two about jazz. From counting in bars to snapping on the 2 & 4 to finding their way in the song and knowing when to clap and even understanding the concept of improvisation! It was, to borrow a phrase from some of the participants,

"...a real eye-opener for me as, although I like to listen to jazz, sometimes I just get lost because I don't know what happens after they play the melody!"


"...i have a better understanding now of what i see on stage! listening is one thing but watching the musicians interact is another... now their body language makes sense!"


"...this is a really good way to spend my Sunday! It's worth much more than what we paid for."


"... what and when's the next event going to be ah???"


Well there you have it folks! Another successful event by JAM and you can bet your bottom dollar that there'll be lots more coming up!

For those of you who missed out this time, make sure you are there, whenever & wherever the next event's gonna be. Till then....

Adios!
