Singapore

11 Mar (Sun)
Recital Studio
3pm
(60mins, no intermission)

As easy as ABC is Jazz123, a special concert introducing young children to jazz. Approaching well-loved children’s songs such as the Sesame Street theme song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Bibidibobidiboo with a jazz treatment, Rani shows that jazz is not just for the grown-ups – children can fall in love with it too!

Rani Singam’s career began a meteoric rise when discovered by local jazz maestro, Jeremy Monteiro. Mistaking Rani for a young Sarah Vaughan when he first heard her demo CD, Jeremy instantly offered Rani a musical platform. Dubbed “the next big thing in jazz vocals in Asia” for her powerhouse vocals and clear, lyrical rendition, Rani has launched her debut album With A Song In My Heart and performed at many jazz clubs and festivals.

Accompanying her is jazz guitarist Andrew Lim, drummer TamaGoh and bassist Tony Makarome. Andrew is a sought-after sessionist in the jazz and recording scene in Boston and Singapore. Tony is an Assistant Professor at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory (National University of Singapore).

Recommended for children aged 5-11 years.
