Those who have frequently tried out karaoke with pre-recorded music can now take their singing to the next level with a unique jam with live and professional musicians every Thursday.
The ‘Jam with Jazz Junction’ has been formed by bassist Colin D’Cruz with a ‘floating personnel’ concept.
“I noticed the huge popularity of Karaoke in Goa and decided to take it to the next level. From June 1, Jazz Junction will host an official weekly jam session every Thursday at Miss Margarita, a Mexican restaurant at Anjuna. This will be the first ever open mic for not just singers but musicians as well,” explains D’Cruz.
“The sound of the band keeps changing with every change in personnel. The outcome is always interesting with fresh new sounds created with every change in personnel.”
D’Cruz said the band also encourages guest artistes, often from the audience, who have a blast taking the stage with the band.
“The reason why this is possible is because the musicians in the band are accomplished enough to deliver impromptu. The thrill of performing to backing tracks is increased ten-fold when jamming with a band. I hope that Jam with Jazz Junction catches on with more bands deciding on an open mic at least once a week.”
Jazz Junction currently features Daniella Rodrigues (vocals), Jason Quadros (keyboards), Colin D’Cruz (bass) and Anthony Bringel (drums).
