Ireng and friends to pay tribute to two jazz maestros
Evi Mariani, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Jazz guitarist Ireng Maulana and seasoned fellow musicians such
as Ermy Kullit and Margie Segers will stage a concert titled An
evening of Jazz on Dec. 15 at Balai Sarbini, Central Jakarta,
under the banner Ireng Maulana & Friends.
"The concert is a tribute to late jazz pianist Hendra Wijaya
and bass player Perry Pattiselano," Ireng told The Jakarta Post.
The concert will feature dozens of veteran and emerging jazz
artists, ranging from Donny Suhendra, Bubi Chen, Oele
Pattiselano, Idang Rasjidi, Iga Mawarni, Indra Lesmana, Dewa
Budjana to Andien and Tompi.
Ireng Maulana & Friends comprises guitarist Ireng, guitarist
Kiboud Maulana, saxophone player Didiek SSS, and vocalists Ermy
Kullit, Margie Segers, Anna Andrea, Kemala Ayu and Laurence
Manaba.
Late pianist Hendra Wijaya was supposed to perform with the
friends.
Hendra, 56, passed away on Nov. 6 this year, after a struggle
with cancer. Hendra, was known as a ragtime specialist in the
country.
Perry Pattiselano, 55, died on Nov. 9, in a suicide bombing at
Grand Hyatt Hotel in Amman, Jordan, while he was performing with
Indonesian vocalist Pinky and pianist "Sukat" Harjanto.
Ireng Maulana & friends recently released an album titled
Sweet Jazzy in the second half of 2005.
The album comprises 10 songs, mostly standard, easy-listening
jazz songs like Nat King Cole's When I Fall in Love, Bill
Withers' Just the Two of Us and Randy Crawford's One Day I'll Fly
Away.
Sweet jazzy is indeed a perfect title for the album because
the words simply describe the impression the album leaves on
listeners.
There is nothing spectacular in the album, but it delivers a
fine piece of work from some of Indonesia's best jazz performers.
The concert will also perform tunes from the album.
Tickets are on sale from Rp 100,000 to Rp 500,000.
