Saturday Night Jazz Chugging Along Nicely

Another gig this weekend. How time flies. I'm into my third public appearance in as many weeks. The idea is to push this through to becoming a weekly Saturday Night Jazz event. We're still looking for more sponsors to keep this going. The attendance numbers are certainly growing. We're onto a good thing here. I think Dar is loving this. My audience last Saturday had me do multiple encores...it was simply amazing and unexpected. Thanks to all of you for your support AND for bringing along your friends to the gig. Hope to see you all again this Saturday 26th March 2010.

Jazz & Blues Bar Gig @ Harbour View Suites Hotel

I debuted at the Jazz & Blues Bar at Harbour View Suites last night. What a fabulous venue. Their New Orleans style room looks amazing after sundown and the view of the harbour is simply breathtaking. It's a shame not a lot of people go there. Folks, you don't know what you're missing. This bar is awesome. There's nothing like it in this town. Nothing.

I sang thirteen classics plus my new single, enjoyed every minute. Thanks to all of you for coming (you know who you are); and thanks to my sponsors Business Times, Times 100.5 FM, Majira, Harbour View Suites and DarCity Promotion for making this event possible. Hope to see you again next time.

Java Jazz Festival 2011: George Benson Tribute to Nat King Cole

The name George Benson is legendary. It brings back wonderful memories to the hearts of jazz lovers all around the world. This multi-Grammy Award winning jazz guitarist is also known as a pop, RnB singer... “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You”, “The Greatest Love Of All”, “Give Me The Night”, “20/20″, and “In Your Eyes” are some of his classic works.

The highlight at Istanbul International Jazz Festival 2011 was Benson's Unforgettable Tribute to Nat King Cole. Read the full article on Jazzuality.com

Speaking of which, I open at the Harbour View Suites' Jazz & Blues Bar located on the 9th floor of Harbour View Towers on Samora Avenue on Saturday March 12th. I will sing cover classics from Nat King Cole (including "Unforgettable") AND George Benson's "Masquerade". I shall look forward to seeing there. Karibu!

Temptations Revue Concert to Benefit S.C. State Students

I've been touched by this. I feel this could be done in Tanzania -- or in any country. Let me know what you think? The harmonies of a classic Motown group will pave the way to meet the financial needs of South Carolina State University students. Chapter member Willie Bamberg conceived the idea after attending the group's show in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., last July. He said concert proceeds can help students pay incidental expenses. "We have a lot of students who get hit with unanticipated fees, usually around $100 to $200," Bamberg said. "It's not a lot of money, but often they can't afford the extra amount. Because of that, they aren't able to pay and have to leave school. "The stats show the ones we lose often don't come back. This money will help bridge that gap. (The band) wants to do this and give back to the community. We want to take advantage of it." Read the full article here!

Jazz for Relief Night at Harbour View Suites Hotel

Yes, it has been a while since my last post. Well, I have been busy. Teaching voice; a new record to promote; and the song goes on. I had East Africa TV's Nervana crew here yesterday filming one of my vocal coaching classes and then an interview with me thereafter. It was wonderful. Really nice people. Lotus, you're awesome! The program, I'm told, airs next Tuesday 1st March at 7pm...  and I believe there is a repeat on Sunday. Check your TV guide for updates.

Jazz for Relief -- Next week Saturday 5th March, if everything goes according to plan, I will perform a jazz set at the Jazz & Blues Bar located on the 9th floor at the Harbour View Suites Hotel on Samora Avenue, Dar es salaam. It will be a charity event we are naming Jazz for Relief Night in aid of the recent bomb blast victims in Gongo la Mboto. We're looking for sponsors. If you know anyone or any business that may be interested in sponsoring this event, please drop us a line. The idea is to host a jazz evening filled with fabulous entertainment and to raise funds for a worthy cause. We want to help. Musicians like myself will perform for free...as their contribution to the cause. We'd love to get items for auction on the night too. CDs, air tickets...anything you can think of. Let's do whatever we can to help.

Sincerely,

Joett
