Farid Ali Quartet @ Alexis Bistro.
Eric Li was suppose to play with them but he was feeling under the weather so he couldn't make it..but it was a blessing in disguise because Farid Ali had always wanted to play a quartet so he got his wish.
I was very lucky to have been able to chat with him, Julian and John during the 2 sets. They were really friendly to a guy that had just met them one or two times. It was really wonderful..hearing Farid Ali explain about the gambus, making small talks with Julian and John..didn't really get to talk to the bassist though..but still a great night out alone.
Was kinda hesitant to go alone but it turned out to be a great night. Oh,the people in the photo...L-R : Farid Ali aka Mr.Gambus, Wan(i think) on Bass, Julian Chan on saxophone & flute and John Thomas on drums. Next week at Alexis Bistro, Great Eastern Mall, Jalan Ampang...Jose Thomas & Groove Unction. Can't wait for that..and also later tonight at Mont Kiara's Sunrise Jazz & Rhythm Fest..Afro Asia with Steve Thornton,
LiveWire High Wired and Aseana Percussion Unit. Wonderful weekend ahead!
