Beam, which recently won Best Nightclub at BK Magazine’s BAD Awards 2023, is hosting its very first jazz festival, Beam Jazz Fest, this Apr 29 from 4pm onwards. 

 

Since it’s Beam, you can expect a combination of traditional jazz tracks alongside some electronic crossover tunes. The evening will kick off with a sunset session on the outdoor terrace before moving inside for the rest of the night. Various acts will occupy different parts of the club over the course of the event. 

 

The fest will include international names like Avantdale Bowling Club (a solo project from New Zealand rapper Tom Scott) and Kyoto Jazz Massive ft. Vanessa Freeman, a jazz-electronic crossover project from brothers Shuya and Yoshihiro Okino. Shuya Okino will also perform another solo DJ set during the event. 

 

Other names that should ring a bell for jazz and electronic fans are the American duo No Regular Play, keyboardist and sound designer Jason Lindner (flymyspcshp), as well as the Michael Feinberg Quartet, Timothy Angulo Group, and Greg Paulus Band.

 

For local names, afro-beat and jazz specialist African Ride will make an appearance, as well as Dikon, DJ Funky Pump, iNIT, Khun Guy, Maarten and many more.

Early-bird tickets are now available at Ticketmelon for B890 until Apr 7, and B1,090 after.
