Bangkok--28 Oct--Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
Jazz legend, Alice Day returns to Bangkok from the 3rd November until 31st January for a series of eagerly anticipated performances.
One of the world’s great jazz vocalists “Alice Day”, affectionately known as ‘The Lady’ is back in Bangkok for a string of virtuoso performances at The Living Room, refined jazz bar of the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection Hotel. During her residency Alice’s vocal artistry will be complimented by the renowned Jeremy Monteiro International Trio until December 15th and then with triolive! until the end of January.
Like all the greats, Alice Day has committed her entire life to music. “The roots of my music are gospel,” says Alice. ‘I was born into that musical tradition.’
Growing up in Miami, Florida the journey from gospel to jazz came about at a remarkably tender age. “I was fortunate enough to have a very hip High School musical director. He introduced me to jazz music. My first experience of working with a ‘name’ was fellow Floridian, Cannonball Adderley. By the age of thirteen or fourteen I was singing in the jazz clubs in a happening area called Overtown” recalls Alice.
To listen to Alice sing is a true joy. It is impossible not to be moved by the depth of feeling she instills into jazz classics, a feat only possible by those who have devoted their life to the genre. Playful and exploratory in her approach to the more obscure jazz numbers, a song is rarely performed the same way twice. Tempo and delivery vary according to inclination, nuances are exploited. The audience is always delighted.
Join Alice Day, the Jeremy Monteiro International Trio and triolive! featuring Randy Cannon for world-class jazz at The Living Room from the 3rd November, 2009 until 30th January, 2010. Alice will also perform with Randy Cannon and triolive! every Sunday from 21.15 — 23.30 hours.
