Tucked between an eyelash extension clinic and a salad stall, live music venue Blu Jaz Cafe stands out in a row of shophouses along Bali Lane. By tomorrow (Feb 1), everything will be quiet.
Tonight, musicians and performers who are regular fixtures at Blu Jaz Cafe will be playing for the last time at the watering hole, following the termination of its public entertainment licence.
Jordan Wei, leader of the Jordan Wei Trio, first performed at Blu Jaz in 2010 and has since taken to the stage every fortnight with his three-piece band. “Blu Jaz was a place where one didn't have to worry about pandering to the audience's tastes. It was an avenue to experiment and create ‘art’," said the 35-year-old jazz pianist.
"No other club I knew was brave enough to allow musical experiments from bands because other venues were more concerned about profits.”
