When you hear the word jazz, what comes to mind?
Perhaps you think of swanky bars in the 1920s where the lighting is dim; the singers croon and people sway slowly to the sound of the saxophones. Perhaps you think instead of discos in the 1970s, blaring loud, snazzy, brassy funk, or fancy modern cafes where light piano music plays soothingly to relax the patrons. Perhaps you think of Michael Buble, the spirit of December? Or Ella Fitzgerald, Dave Brubeck, or even George Gershwin?
You wouldn’t be too far off. But how can one small club, the only club of its kind among all of Singapore’s Junior Colleges, manage to truly capture the essence (or multitude of essences) of jazz?
