Jazz-manias rejoice! (at least those in and around Miri)
I'm seriously planning to go... anyone to come along?
(thanx to Air Asia, now everybody can go to MIJF, yay!)
The Pavilion, Parkcity Everly Hotel,
Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
9 - 10 May 2008, 5:00pm - 1:00am
Promised to be another signature attraction for Miri’s tourism calendar, MIJF 2008 will be liven up by renowned jazz performers from Australia, Philippines, Korea, Cuba, Japan, Holland, USA, France, UK and Canada. Nearer to home, we will see performances from bands from Sarawak and Sabah, taking centre stage among the foreign performers. Their genre of jazz include blues and fusion jazz with a tinge of Latin, Caribbean and oriental music.
Habana Sax, one of the performers from this year’s line up will also make a come-back at next year’s festival, after the crowd voted the band as their favourite.
Parkcity Everly Hotel in Miri will still play host for the venue of the festival, which had attracted more than 4,000 guests over the two nights last year. Last year’s crowd turn out had increased by almost two folds as compared to more than 2,000 guests in 2006. Apart from enjoying the good music, guests can also savour the wide variety of food and beverages at the stalls set up in and around the venue.
Looking at the steady increase in the crowd turn out, MIJF is set to become an icon for Miri and in line with STB’s aim at boosting the city’s tourism industry.
Parkcity’s management has also indicted its plan to expand the Pavilion where the main stage is located, to provide more room for the increasing number of audiences.
