Doodaddie News April /May 2008
Well it's been one week since our return from Malaysia and our first international jazz festival and 'wow' was it great !!!
Genting International Jazz Festival Wednesday 2nd April to Sunday 6th April
After a 5 1/2 hour flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur the DooDaddies Bob Thompson (bass ),Yugon 'Chob' Chobanoff (drums, Dave Brewer (guitar ), Dave Billing (harmonicas) and Lisa Billing (manager) were still smiling as we boarded the bus with Ben's Belinga Quartet from Cameroon/France.
It is a 1 1/2hour trip from K.L airport to the Genting Resort in the highlands 6000 feet above sea level. What a shock to see two huge Daves staring at us from an enormous billboard advertising the Genting International Jazz Festival as we careered upwards towards the resort.
We saw those faces (Daves ) just about everywhere we looked during our brilliant 5 days at Genting resort which has over 6000 rooms, casinos, theme parks,restaurants,entertainment venues and more.
The bands selected for the festival were top class professionals and first class friendly people. www.gentingjazz.com
The Doodaddies played a solid set and were met with a warm reception from the audience. There are some terrific photos and a detailed song by song review at www.alldatjazz.com/item/1812. Another review at http://frigglive.blogspot.com/
Also a couple of photos on the Genting Gig page here .
Thanks to Genting and particularly Jun Lin and her brilliant team for everything!
