Jazz night at Ámantee on November 25th 2006

Jazz concert and dining cocktail

Ámantee is pleased to announce that it will host a special charity jazz concert on Saturday, November 25th 2006, at 7.30 pm , featuring the distinguished French- Canadian composer and vibraphonist, Jean Vanasse accompanied by Sylvain Provost, guitar, and Frédéric Grenier, bass.

This concert is part of Jean Vanasse trio Asian tour 2006. The tour started in Shanghai and the band will perform in another 9 cities in China as well as Singapore, totalling 27 concerts.

Proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Baan Gerda Home for HIV-infected orphans in Lopburi.

An accomplished composer of film scores and a musician who has performed throughout North America and Europe , Jean Vanasse has been favourably likened to Gary Burton. Mr Vanasse is perhaps best known for his four-year collaboration during the late 1980's with the Czech bass player Miroslav Vitous and as co-founder of the Montreal Jazz OFF festival.

Jean Vanasse founded his Vanasse trio in 1999. The group performed its first concert at Le Quai des Brumes in Montreal . Crowd reaction was overwhelmingly favourable.

Since then, the group has participated in many international festivals, performed concerts in Europe and North America, and recorded several jazz programmes for the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) such as at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto for the twentieth anniversary of the CBC Jazz programme ‘Jazz Beat'.

A CD on the Effendi Records label, ‘Mosaïques', recorded in 2001, was nominated for best Jazz Album of the year at L'ADISQ and Opus Price in 2002. ‘Amérikois', recorded in 2004, also received wide critical acclaim.

This one-night-only performance will be a not-to-be-missed opportunity for Bangkok jazz lovers who wish to support a worthy cause. The price, including dining cocktail and drinks, will be 2,000 THB per person. Click here to see the coktail menu.
