JASS intends to grow the interest in jazz through multiple avenues like working closely with youths through mentorships and staging more concerts to engage with the general public.
You are one of Singapore’s most iconic jazz musicians. Tell us about your first steps as a musician.
That’s actually quite an accurate description. I love the French Impressionistic harmonies including that of Ravel. And I love the Blues. So somehow how I synthesised that and came up with a style which also combined some Bebop licks and even some Country and Western stylistic touches. Our gala night will also be a triple celebration where we celebrate Jeremy Monteiro’s 45th career anniversary, the 121st birthday of jazz legend and father of modern jazz, Loui Armstrong and JASS’ upcoming 6th anniversary.What are the main avenues of work for JASS in the coming five years?
Currently, jazz is an elective subject for the O Levels and I notice that jazz is also been infused into the general syllabus for primary and secondary schools. One can also study for a degree in jazz studies at LASALLE College of the Arts. Even before JASS was formed, it was amazing to see young musicians in their teens develop an interest in straightahead jazz and attain very impressive levels.
