Five nights of great music

Five nights of great music

MOST of the time, live music at nightspots in the Klang Valley tends to lean towards rock and pop but there is a thriving jazz scene to be found.

This week, Mezze Lounge ups the ante for jazz afficianados with five nights of international quality jazz from Wednesday to Sunday.

On Wednesday, the ladies take centre stage with Rachel Guerzo and Izlyn Ramly taking turns to show off their prowess on the stage.

Thursday is another night dedicated to women with Junji Delfino and Maya turning up the heat with some great performances.
All set: Junji Delfino will be singing out at Mezze this week.

On Friday and Saturday night, the big bands come out to play with the early sets taken by the MJV Trio featuring Junji Delfino.

The headliners on both nights will be Jeremy Monteiro’s Organamix featuring Richard Jackson.

On Sunday, which is also Mother’s Day, be prepared for surprises as Mezze celebrates with a special jam session.

Other musicians who will be taking the stage during the five-night extravaganza include Michael Veerapen, Daniel Veerapen, Wan Azfarezal, So Wen Ming and Rick Smith.

Famed local jazz pianist Michael Veerapen was appointed as the music director at Mezze in 2010 and he has certainly lived up to expectations with a long list of both local and foreign jazz stars making their way to the stage at Mezze.

This might be the first mini-festival at the outlet but there will definitely be more good stuff to come so watch this space for more details.

Mezze is located at 132, Jalan Kasah, Medan Damansara. For more information, call 03-2095 0122 or visit www.mezze.com.my.
