Menarik nih! Hadir yuk! Gratis! ___ Dec 17, 2009 7:30 PM - 9:00 @ BENTARA BUDAYA JAKARTA Jl.Palmerah Selatan 17, Jakarta 10270 IWAN HASAN - Guitar & Harp Guitar ANDIEN - Vocals MERY KASIMAN - Piano ENGGAR WIDODO - Tuba & Trombone GUITAR, VOCALS, PIANO & TUBA? What kinda jazz is this?? Well, we're just playing the songs, mostly jazz standards. It's not fusion, it's not jazz rock. It's just, well... jazz, presented in our own way, arranged for the instruments we play, with the TUBA functioning as the bass instrument. And... NO DRUMS. No percussion either. Can we carry it through the night? Well... we hope so :) Sometimes, as musicians, we have to challenge ourselves. Of course we try to make up as much as we can to compensate for the absence of drums. We try to arrange the music in such a way that, we think... would not require percussion. But hey... when we listen to classical chamber music we don't miss the drums, right? We don't listen to a Beethoven string quartet and say "where's the drummer?". Make no mistake, string quartets can be quite intense. And so can a solo classical pianist. It doesn't need drums. In jazz, there is a tradition of trios with banjo, tuba and clarinet, playing mostly early jazz, dixieland style. And oh my... can they swing! We don't really play early jazz. Well.. maybe we do a bit, but mostly we try to make a more modern sound. And just have fun arranging the music in our own way. We also try to be as diverse as possible within the boundaries of "Chamber Jazz". We also don't keep it too "clean and classical" either. So... can we carry it through? Well, we hope so. We try our best. It's FREE ADMISSION anyway (YEAH!!!). So, please come and enjoy the night with us! ... if nothing else, you'll see a TUBA player playing jazz bass (hee hee). See you there!
