About this Event
The original trio, formed by drummer and rising star Yap Ting Wei in 2021, includes the outstanding Benjamin Poh on bass, and the multi-instrumental brilliance of Chok Kerong on piano and guitar.
For this project they are joined by guest vocalist Siti Nur Iman.
The band came together through a shared passion for the music of Brazil. Each of the members is well established in the regional jazz scene, and all are among the most sought-after sidemen in Singapore.
Their individual expertise and ear for nuance is a key component to the band's dynamic mix. The direction and texture of the music is greatly influenced by both a deep understanding of the jazz tradition, and a fresh ear for new possibilities, which they bring to both the classic and modern music of Brazil.
They will be presenting music from artists like Djavan, Elis Regina, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, and many more.
