6th Philippine International Jazz Festival in full swing
Now on its sixth year, the Philippine International Jazz Festival is in full swing with over 60 artists from here and abroad.
Organized by the Philippine International Jazz and Arts Festival Foundation, the festival is aimed at people from all walks of life, with shows in various venues including crowded malls and intimate lounges.
Since its opening night on February 3, the festival has had a full schedule of jazz acts at campuses, shopping areas, and night spots.
“Jazz grows within and outside the walls of social status… there is no rich or poor jazz artist,” the organizers say on their official site.
Noel Cabangon is one of the performers at the Philippine International Jazz Festival.
While some shows are free and open to the public, others cost P3,000 while others still are by invitation only. But wherever the festival is, audiences are sure to enjoy the shows.
“Jazz performances are always positive – neither loud nor sad, always colorful and introspective,” the organizers add.
Most of the gigs are in Metro Manila, while some take place in Bacolod and Boracay from February 12-19.
For those unavailable after office hours, there are a few events during the day, like the “Jazz for Kids” last Sunday at the Alphaland Southgate Mall.
A bar and lounge Jazz Series is also being held at Salon de Ning, O’Lounge, and Charlie’s Speakeasy.
On February 13, David Starck Latin, Henry Katindig and Doug Little will be playing for Latin Night at Salon de Ning.
On the same night, Aisaku Yokogawa and Monet Ganir will be playing alongside Working Stiff and Sitti at “Love Sitti” at Bonifacio High Street in Taguig.
Also on February 13 is Jazz at O’Lounge with Alakpa and Hidden Nikki at the Oxford Suites in Makati.
On February 14, Ateneo de Manila will be hosting a Sax Workshop by Doug Little at 3:00 p.m.
This year’s lineup includes Johnny Alegre, Richard Merk, Sitti, Nyko Maca, the A.M.P. Big Band, Guarana, and the UP Jazz Ensenble.
Also featured are balikbayan artists Mishka Adams, Johnny and Rosanna Gaerlan, Carlos Zialcita, and Boy Katindig. Among the international acts are Gong Myoung, Logic, Fourplay, Tierney Sutton, and Hubert Laws.
As the festival draws to a close, Rockwell Tent features Fourplay with Bob James, Nathan East, Chuck Loeb and Harver Mason on February 26.
On February 27, Hubert Laws with Debra Laws perform, as well as Richard Merk, Jacqui Magno, Pat Castillo and Ric Ickard.
The last night, Feb. 28, is the International Jazz Gala at the Ayala Museum featuring various Filipino and international Artists. Rickie Quirino will also launch his book “Contemporary Jazz,” while Nino Quartana will hold a painting exhibit. – Carmela G. Lapeña/VVP, GMA News
Noel Cabangon: From ‘simpleng musikero’ to PNoy’s troubadour
By CARMELA LAPEÑA, GMANews.TV
It was a Wednesday night at Conspiracy along Visayas Avenue in Quezon City. Almost 9, but still early for the gig and so far, no tables were occupied. I was waiting for Noel Cabangon to arrive, and wondering what was meant by “I won’t arrive ’til nine.” Those were his words in his text message earlier that day, when I had asked if I could interview him at his gig. Would I interview him before his set? Or after? How would I approach him?
Those questions made me nervous, not to mention the other questions I had in mind. After all, he had recently sung in front of half a million people, stealing the show at PNoy’s inauguration. Not only did he get the crowd to sing along – he also got several important officials, including the president, to swear they would be better Filipinos. I didn’t have much time to dwell on my anxiety, because he walked in shortly, right on time.
If there is one thing about Noel Cabangon, he isn’t unprofessional. Of course, he walked right past me, and I took the advantage of my anonymity to observe him. He moved quietly but quickly, as if not a single step was wasted. He was dressed simply, in an unassuming dark- colored shirt and jeans, and his trademark sneakers. He had brightly colored bracelets on his arm.
He moved from room to room, setting up while talking to someone on his cellphone. Eventually, I mustered the courage to approach him and introduce myself. He asked if I minded waiting until after his set. Of course I didn’t, and looked forward to watching the set. Although his impressive tour history includes France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, as well as places all over the Philippines both as a solo act and with his former group Buklod, his usual gigs are like the one that night, in low-key bars and nightclubs, where the stage is really just a slightly, if at all, elevated area of the room.
Tables were barely visible beneath the weight of empty and near empty bottles, plates of pulutan, and elbows of customers propping up their faces as they gaze intently at the performer. Noel Cabangon seemed perfectly at ease in this set up, perched on his stool a bit awkwardly and yet perfectly balanced. He balances his guitar on his leg and reaches for his beer bottle on the floor.
He raises the bottle to the audience, laughs a bit and says “Cheers for fears,” before drinking quickly, setting it back down, and beginning the song.
He goes through his laidback set, engaging the audience in pleasant conversation. While his larger concerts have the benefit of bigger sound systems, his performances in small spaces are more charming. His powerful voice fills the room, and without much to distract the audience, his lyrics stand out. Some requests are made and he obliges gladly, a performer through and through.
He plays Kanlungan, an obvious favorite which gets almost everyone in the room to sit up straight. When he plays Tatsulok, he jokes that it’s a Bamboo cover. The song is actually an original by Buklod. He ends his first set, tells the audience he’ll be back, and mills around for a bit. He taps me on the shoulder and says, “Wait lang a, five minutes,” and then he disappears into another room.
