As usual, there is no sign of Tewan Sapsanyakorn - one of my favourite Thai Jazz musicians - I guess he is not "mainstream" enough for what is normally a relatively youthful audience, who seem to prefer vocals and " poppy" Jazz.
I will make sure I am there for Shakatak, a band I have always wanted to experience in concert, as well as Estrella and Mocca, both I have heard are pretty good. Will probably bring the kids for the early part of the evening, and then dump them at home so I can focus on the Heineken girls, sorry, the music as the evening moves on.
