Kota Kinabalu Jazz Festival 1st Night

I was so happy I finished my assignment. I do not have to think about it anymore. And I can let my hair down and enjoyed myself tonight.

Sophia and I attended the KK Jazz Festival at the Tennis Arena at Sutera Harbour Marina Club. This was the third festival. (Both of us also attended the one held at Jesselton Point a few years back).

The line up of the performances was as follows.

1. SIA (Sabah Institute of Arts) Jazz Syndicate – comprises of students from this institution. The performance was a bit too ‘rocky’ for me.

2. Jonathan Tse – an ok performance and he was backed up by different musicians from different parts of Sabah. Cannot hear some of the lyrics he was singing.

3. Six 2 Eight – a capella group comprises of three men and four ladies. One of the men looks like a nerd but he sang very well.

4. Son2Nos – a Venezuelan group who could hardly communicate in English. The lead singer was begging the audience to dance but hardly anyone heeded his call.

In between the four performances, there were a group of ballerinas who called themselves ‘Jazzerinas’ performed.

The night was an extremely hot one especially during the first part. Towards the end the wind started to blow.

Overall Sophia and I still had a good time.
