KK Jazz Festival

Went to Sabah's 1st Jazz Festival yesterday despite a hangover from a 'quiet night' the night before with Mrs Barker, Mel,Florencia & Derrick.

The festival was jointly organised by the Rotary Club of KK and SParKS ( Society of Performing Arts KK Sabah). Tickets were RM30 (students), RM 50 & RM100. Missed the workshop and the opening performances by the local bands. The main bands featured that night was Jazzelton Quintet, Double Take, Son2Nos, Farid Ali & Denise Mininfield. Excellent performance.

Impressive turnout, must have been more than a thousand people there. Great music, warm sea-breeze, 2 weird DIGI yellow men, lots of smiley faces, some shimmy-shake and of course, booze...Helps a bit, even in my current state of cheerlessness.


With the girls & the weird Digi Yellow Man


Double Take - Mia Palencia & Roger Wang. Mia has one of the most beautiful singing voice I've ever heard. I enjoyed their performance the most.


The crowd enjoying the music..dancing away..


the finale

Made it home just before 6am after a chain of "unexpected" events, involving copious amounts of a certain numbing substance with Sal,Grumpy & Moody.

Stared at the beautiful sunrise before finally collapsing in bed. I take comfort in knowing that I won't be the only one suffering a massive hangover when I wake up.
