And now, for pictures from the second week of Sunrise Mont Kiara Jazz & Rhythm Fest<\/a>, 4th August 2006 and 5th August 2006.<\/p>\n


\nClockwise from top-left<\/b>: Sunset on the way to Sunrise; refreshments are blown your way; William Quah the emcee is a star; question the toll.<\/p>\n


\nClockwise from top-left<\/b>: Interesting halo cast by light; interesting shadow; Davina<\/a>‘s hair looks so pretty in the light; spot the hot chicks.<\/p>\n


\nOpening act that Friday – belly dancers.<\/p>\n

After that was the first act, Cosmic Funk Express<\/b>, but I already blogged about them here:<\/p>\n

An Ode To Cosmic Funk Express, Part 1<\/a>
\nAn Ode To Cosmic Funk Express, Part 2<\/a><\/h4>\n


\nJupiter@7 was up next.<\/p>\n


\nThe vocalist’s posture reminded me of Freddie Mercury somewhat.<\/p>\n


\n…except that they didn’t play anything by Queen, but a few adult-oriented-radio covers. Where’s the Jazz? (Which is incidentally the name of a Queen album.)<\/p>\n


\nHarping.<\/p>\n


\nBacking up on bass.<\/p>\n


\nClockwise from top-left<\/b>: Organic organ; percussions; guest percussionist Justin Lim (for all you rabid fans out there); gee-tar!<\/p>\n


\nAfter the show, the tables were lined up like an obstacle course. Grab the most flags while avoiding paintballs!<\/p>\n


\nSaturday’s show started with Shelley Leong & Jazz Odyssey<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nCome away with me.<\/p>\n


\nWatch her play praise-worshipping angel…<\/p>\n


\n…and fiery pop jazz diva.<\/p>\n


\nAlda<\/a> forgot the chords to this song.<\/p>\n


\nSpot the difference! Teehee.<\/p>\n


\nStephanie is always hidden behind the drumset.<\/p>\n


\nNisha Tham on keyboard…<\/p>\n


\n…with Shelley on percussion…<\/p>\n


\n…and later versus Az Samad<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nAz is always happy.<\/p>\n


\nOoo ooo ooo ooo! I remember the notes now!<\/p>\n


\nAz: Kecoh lah mamat ni, blocking the view of chicks.<\/i><\/p>\n


\nSpeaking of which, Vignes<\/a> shoots with his legs open, and Davina shows us that she’s enjoying herself.<\/p>\n


\nNext up was John Thomas & Phunk Mob<\/b>, with Wan of Alcentric<\/b> shredding to jazz instead of metal.<\/p>\n


\nCheck out his MIDI keyboard skills. His left hand controls the tremolo and wah effects; he even played two-handed like Zack<\/a> of Cosmic Funk Express does. Oh waitaminute, Zack should get one of these instead.<\/p>\n


\nJulian<\/b> has sax.<\/p>\n


\nAnd oh boy does he look like he’s enjoying it.<\/p>\n


\nThere was also Noryn Aziz<\/b>, hot chick…<\/p>\n


\n…scatting along to the exact scattered bebop melodies the band was playing.<\/p>\n


\nOh, and of course, John Thomas, for the ladies.<\/p>\n


\nWho’s your daddy? Jose Thomas<\/b>, of course. 2004’s Jazz Fest<\/a> saw him with Mia Palencia in a vocal showdown.<\/p>\n

I’ve been ingrained to like funk-jazz, the exact style Phunk Mob plays, ever since the days of Sesame Street. Remember the animation of a pinball going through a pinball machine? I loved<\/b> it. I loved the music. I loved the animation. I loved the complexity.<\/p>\n


\nAfter it all, I bumped into Joyce The Fairy<\/a> and friends at McDonalds, and this is the table she left behind. She insists that she did not drink.<\/p>\n

What about the first week? Click here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n
