IT WAS JAZZ ALL THE WAY

30.04.06 Abu Dhabi Jazz Festival

The lineup covered a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from Jazzy Blues, complements of Italy's Roberto Ciotti, to Soul-Pop and Jazz from Greg Kofi Brown who has collaborated with the likes of Sting, Joe Cocker and Stanley Jordan to name a few.

The effervescence of Gregg 'KOFI' Brown & Pauline Henry feat. Member’s of the world-class African pioneers OSIBISA and the lead-singer of the Chimes respectively left the crowd wanting for more when the event finally rolled up late on Friday night.

LEGENDS MESMERISE AUDIENCE
|By Meher Murshed | 02-02-2003


Day III: One man and his guitar held the audience spell-bound for an hour. He didn't utter a word.
Stanley Jordan is a wizard.

The first half of his set featured a band with Greg 'Koffi' Brown on vocals. Brown from Osibisa pranced around the stage and couldn't resist the Osibisa trademark chant: "Ki le le ki le le, aavo aavo ki le le." Michael Jackson could have learnt a few moves from Brown.

Jordan dedicated All the Children from the album Magic Touch to "all the children who will go to bed hungry tonight."

But it was the second half that was a sheer delight. He performed his interpretations of El Condor Pasa, dedicating the tune to the bird that faces extinction, Autumn Leaves and Eleanor Rigby. He played with one hand, switching from the right to the left with breath-taking speed.

Jordan was feeding off the crowd, he could have played for hours. "Hopefully this will be the first of many. I will go back home and tell my friends what a great experience it was playing in Dubai," Jordan said.

And, Dubai has reason to be proud. With all the political rhetoric flying around in the region, the emirate hosted three unforgettable evenings that brought Louis Armstrong's tune to mind:

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
