When you put four of Asia’s top jazzmen on the same stage you can expect nothing less than an extraordinary power-packed performance.
The Asian Jazz All-Stars Power Quartet is the coming together of Jeremy Monteiro, one of Asia’s most prolific jazz keyboardist & composers from Singapore; Eugene Pao, arguably Asia’s top jazz guitarist from Hong Kong; Tots Tolentino, one of Asia’s most virtuosic saxophonists from the Phillipines; and Chanutr Techatana-nan (aka Hong) from Thailand, one of the most innovative and exciting drummers to emerge in the Asian jazz scene in recent years.
Eugene’s stratospheric guitar lines & power riffs; Jeremy’s synthesis of bluesy organ licks coupled with Ravel-esque harmonies; Tots’ kaleidoscopic sound shapes & melodic tapestries; plus Hong’s groovy swing juxtaposed with his innovative polyrhythmic embellishments will stimulate you intellectually and warm your hearts at the same time.
Come meet this most Powerful band at the HKAPA’s HKJC Amphitheatre on November 30, 2012.
Individual Biographies of Musicians:
Jeremy Monteiro (Pianist-Organist-Composer, Singapore)
Jeremy Monteiro is one of the foremost jazz pianists/organists in Asia. He started his international career on the main-stage of the Montreux Jazz Festival which Festival Director Claude Nobs called ‘an unforgettable concert of the first 22 years of Montreux.’ This Cultural Medallion winner has released more than 20 jazz albums as leader and has performed with legendary jazz musicians Toots Thielemans, James Moody, Ernie Watts, Michael Brecker, and Cassandra Wilson, to name a few. It is no wonder that Monteiro has been referred to as Singapore’s ‘King of Swing’ by the Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan press. Just recently, the organ trio ORGANAMIX led by Jeremy was nominated at the 10th Independent Music Awards; one of the highest accolades for independently produced music.
