jazz makes me smile

no fancy words,
no deep thoughts,
no sad, soppy stories,
no complaints.
just,
jazz makes me smile.
as the music starts,
i feel myself being swept away,
of all the worries and stresses of life.
it takes me to a whole new, very unfamiliar yet peaceful.
For a moment,
nothing else matters,
everything else paused,
except for the only thing left is jazz.
Calming, mesmerizing, breathtaking, spectacular, beyond extraordinary,
all summed up by one word.
jazz.

so what's with all the jazz?




yvett johanson and the joe ruberto trio at bennetts lane.






after a long, stressful, busy n tough week at work,
boy, has it been long, stressful, n busy!
li sher and i headed down for a lil jazz action at bennetts lane.
you hav no idea how much,
ive been looking forward to it the whole week!
it was a very much needed break frm d endless work n study routine.


we were later joined by siew chien n al,



as we waited for the music to start,
we talked, took photos, had drinks,
all in all,
was casual, fun n nice.
then came along yvett and her awesome,
out of this world, indescribable, breathtaking band.
the pianist was soooo cute, (as in teddy bear cute)
he was practically bouncing up n down while playing.
i swear to god,
i was in loveeeeee!!!!
he was sooooo good!!!
besides yvett's powerful voice,
joe's cute and lively performance,
there was michael on the bass and andrew ( i think) on the drums.
boy, were they something.

best part of all,
they were really enjoying themselves.
they were really into it,
they were playing for the love of it,
n as they played each song,
it was as if they were caught in the beat,
in the melody, in the simple,
yet true n straightforward lyrics.
they were all about the jazz.

with entertaining company,
way beyond words fantastic music,
it was a really fun, lovely, relaxing night.
what more could a gal ask for,
but for all that jazz.
