THAILAND: Jazz by the river

Sweet sounds at Millennium Hilton Bangkok

An evening at FLOW never sounded sweeter! The Millennium Hilton Bangkok and Hitman Jazz are proud to present a one-night musical spectacular on January 13th, 2012, featuring international artists Jakob Dinesen, Jonathan Fritzen and Malene Mortensen, pairing with local legend Koh Mr. Saxman. For only THB 2012++, guests will be served with a welcome drink before enjoying the extravagant international buffet at FLOW, all day dining complimented by the city first ever Cheese Room, and an evening of unforgettable jazz.

This special event features the precocious talents of Jakob Dinesen, a Danish saxophonist, renowned for his innovative style. The writer of many of the tracks you'll here over the evening, Dinesen knows how to play with a beat and find a sensual laziness in every phrase. His collaborator Jonathan Fritzen, from Sweden, trained at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm and received a Masters degree in Jazz. Joining them is remarkable Danish vocalist Malene Mortensen, a graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Music with three solo albums to her name - a songbird of quite staggering ability. And finally, joining the line-up is local hero Koh Mr. Saxman, who has performed in 10 countries and recorded five solo albums. Well loved on the Bangkok live music seen, Koh Mr. Saxman's career began when he was 16 and has seen him decorated with awards and accolades ever since.
Good jazz is truly a thing of beauty, made for the unwinding with friends and it has no better home than the Millennium Hilton Bangkok.
