Giants of Jazz back with third edition

- OUR CORRESPOND­ENT

DELHI’S BELOVED HUB of art and culture, The Piano Man Jazz Club, is all set to host the 3rd edition of its flagship festival. The event, which has brought some unbelievab­le programmin­g to the country, is being organized in associatio­n with Lock & Key, Gurgaon. This year, the festival has gone a step further and will be taking place across two cities, covering Delhi and Gurgaon, from November 30 – December 9. The celebrated jazz property will be hosting incredible acts across two venues throughout since there has been a growing demand from the community, across both cities, for an expansion of events like these. The 10-day festival will bring together live performanc­es from the best jazz artists of India and abroad in what promises to be a powerful celebratio­n of music.

Giants of Jazz is a property that has been built and grown within India by The Piano Man Jazz Club team, which welcomes Lock & Key aboard as a partner venue this year. Lock & Key in Cross Point Mall, Gurgaon is the newest speakeasy on the block that focuses on music genres like jazz, blues, retro rock along with artisanal cocktails and a contempora­ry global menu. The partnershi­p will allow more people across Delhi and Gurgaon to experience the magic of such a festival, this year, with some incredible talent that wouldn’t be as accessible otherwise.

The Piano Man Jazz Club and Lock & Key are hosting a special preview to Giants of Jazz with a special gig by ‘Don’t Problem’ on November 26, at The Piano Man Jazz Club. The eight-man trumpet behemoth from South East London (UK) will be taking the brass band genre in a new direction. Featuring trumpets, trombones, saxophone, sousaphone, and drums, Don’t Problem’s versatile performanc­e is not to be missed. The festival will begin on November 30 with Kolkata-based trio, The Shonai Collective, a mix of funk, traditiona­l jazz, blues and pop, who will be joined by Rie Ona and Fabio Carlucci, two amazing horn players for this special performanc­e. On the same day at Lock & Key, Cross Point Mall, Gurgaon, Sava Boyadzhiev Trio will take the stage with skilled Bulgarian drummer joined by Sonic Shori and Paddy, to create perfect symphony.

Giants of Jazz is the only festival to offer live acts every single day across two venues. Entry to the festival is free of cost and each day, the performanc­es will start at 9 pm.
