ย Bandraites, it’s time to celebrate All That Jazz this July.
Jazz may be a dying art, but for those of us who love it, it will always remain alive. Whether it’s the First Lady Of Song- Ella Fitzgerald herself or riveting jazz stylings of Miles Davis; jazz musicians of yesteryears put into perspective just how much music of today has drastically changed.
For those of you who pine for the wonder era as much as we do, you’re in luck! The Bombay Jazz Clubย and Rat Pack Songbook areย all set to take you back to an age when musical expression dominated the industry. Presenting Ziziland Jazz Festival, an event that plans to open up a magical wonderland, as you experience sounds that take you away to another place.
From young jazz cats to the genre’s maestros, ย the fest aims to bring together the young and old jazz enthusiasts, on the 8th of July at St. Andrew’s Auditorium, as some of India’s jazz greats pay tribute to the biggest jazz legends ever!
