beinaj Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Would like to hire a three or four person jazz group for a private party. Where do I start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepsel Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 For starters I would go to one of the Jazz clubs (restaurants) and ask the musicians. I personally have found that Chai Blues House (on Soi 4) off of Suthep on the way to Wat Humong (spelling) has been very helpful with any music related questions that I have had in the past.

miltonbentley Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Go and visit the North Gate Jazz bar on the inside of the moat by Chang Pheauk Gate I am sure they will be able to help and advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenside Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Though you may well find someone at North Gate to suggest a band, it's hardly the venue for smooth jazz if that 's what you're really after. There used to be a quartet that played on Friday and Saturday at The Gallery (next door to The Brasserie, just down from Good View on the riverbank), did lots of old standards and were definitely in the smooth category. They also played in the restaurant at the Chedi so you can get the picture from that. The guitarist's name is Oak - PM me for his email address. The best band in town for my money used to be The New City Gurus, but last time I saw them they were short of their sax player and the guitarist was a bit too dominant for my taste - good, but the style was leaning more towards rock. You can check them out at North Gate on a Friday evening at about 10.30 and Kevin, the horn player, will probably be able to suggest a line up for you too.

kilt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Th Chedi Hotel has an awesome 4 piece Jazz ensemble with their Sunday Brunch. Surely they are for hire.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm das Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 As of last week Mark (the sax player) was back with the Gurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinHunt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Kevin, the horn player, will probably be able to suggest a line up for you too. Just to clarify, and to avoid confusion, I am not Kevin the horn player. I wouldn't like people to get the wrong impression. The fact that I now need reading glasses is purely coincidental.

No chance there, you play those water glasses filled to different levels don't you . Very melodic. Here's the real Kevin... Delighted to hear that the New City Gurus are playing together - those who haven't caught them and like some good modern adventurous jazz should make an effort to see them. I have both of their CDs and they're great. ...and Mark Edited December 1, 2009 by Greenside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmos Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 hi we're up from Chalong/Phuket from 6-11 Dec, first night out (Sunday) will be Chai Blues House, any recommendations for other venues during the week would be welcomed, blues/jazz would be preferred - have been starved of live music for a long time and want to make the most of our week away. thankyou G61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Guitarman at the far eastern end of Loi Kroh Road (a block east of the main Night Bazaar crossing (Mc Donalds)) is always good for live music. Not sure what style bands they will have on this weekend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
