KK Jazz Fest @ 1Borneo (Part 2)

24 Jun

** Continuation from KK Jazz Fest @ 1Borneo (Part 1) **

Okay, so here’s Part 2 of the KK Jazz Fest, which was held on 21 June ’08 at 1Borneo!

After Paul Ponnudurai’s performance, came Greg Lyons and his saxophone!

They sure did their best of trying to get the audiences to their feet and dancing! I myself couldn’t stand still and take their pics! LOL..

Last pic of the night

Obviously we all didn’t stay till the end. I missed seeing the Mayor grooving to the music! Argh!..

But oh well.

~~~~~~

And okay.. here are 2 of my main complaints on the event:

  1. Why in the world did they held the event right in the middle of a mall?? We feel silly buying the tickets when other people walking by could just watch for free! Venue is all wrong this year!
  2. The rotary member (which I will not say who) was rudely wanting us to move back to get some space for people dancing in front. I admit, we were among the photogs there at the front row which we didn’t pay for the tickets, and solely because of that, I didn’t say anything to that rude person. But how about those behind us who DID paid for the RM100 tickets? They were rudely asked to move back too! I mean like, WTF? You guys should’ve thought about the dancing space before the event, what!! And I lost mood on the event, and left not long after that. Messy arrangements for this year’s KK Jazz Fest man!

Let’s all hope that next year’s event will be much better, yeah?

KK Jazz Fest @ 1Borneo (Part 1)

23 Jun

Okay folks.. let’s get on with the KK Jazz Fest post now, shall we?

me-kk-jazzfest.jpg

As you all know (and seen that night, I’m sure) Amie and I were busy taking pics of the KK Jazz Fest event at 1Borneo. Now, I won’t put all the photos I’ve taken here on my blog, but what I’m gonna do is just post some of them here, and the rest I will compile it into some sort of slideshow or something.

Okay let’s get to it!

DSC07048
The entrance to those with the RM50 tickets. Seriously, if I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to so many Coffee Bean outlets justa buy these tickets man.. Could’ve watched it for free from outside the closed-up area and the above floors!

Heineken-booth
The Heineken booth nearby.. Was sold at RM10 per can

emcees
The emcees for that nite, Iskandar and Jasmine

opening-act
The opening act.. sorry, I don’t have the program for the event, so I don’t know who’s who..

DSC07077
You can hardly hear her play the flute, too bad. I used to play the flute very well back in Junior High too.. but have forgotten it now. I think I should dig up my old flute and start playing again eh..

DSC07090
More local performers

DSC07104
Another local artiste

DSC07109
Another local group. Playing the saxaphone with full of soul

DSC07155
Whoa.. check out ‘dem eyes!

DSC07160
Who played it better.. him?

DSC07163
Or him?

No lah.. they both played excellent. No comparison. :)

DSC07167
More of the group

And then we went for the international act!

DSC07185
First up, Xion Gi! His voice was soothing.. very nice to listen to

DSC07245
With Andy Peterson on bass, Mac Chew on keyboard, Badar on the percussions, and John Thomas on drums

DSC07237
Badar during his solo performance (too bad got those distractions in front of him in this pic.. ishh)

DSC07255
Then it was Paul Ponnudurai’s turn to take the stage! It took him quite a long time to do the sound check as he wasn’t happy at all with the sound coming out. The crowd was starting to be restless!

DSC07257
But then I guess he was slightly satisfied with it (?) and finally started his performance!

Man, I loved his performance the most!!

DSC07273
Especially when he hit those high notes then went to his falsetto just flawlessly, I was really like, WOW!! And he didn’t miss a note! Nothing offkey (cuz you know.. you can really hear those things when you’re doing a solo act)

~~~~~~

Okay.. part 1 done. Hope you’ve enjoyed the pics that I took! By the way, have you all checked out WC’s photos of the event? Y’all can check ‘em out HERE!

I’ll continue with part 2 really soon okies!

Part 2 is now done folks! Check them out HERE!
