jazz up the jaktown

this year Java Jazz was held again in JIExpo, Kemayoran, on 4-6 March 2011. this would be my second time going with the jazz. me and my friends planned to watch because we got that Sondre Lerche and Corinne Bailey Rae would be performing on the same day, on Friday, March 4, 2011. I actually preferred Corinne Bailey Rae to Sondre Lerche. but glad to know that they wouldn't appear together at the same time so I didn't need to choose on a difficult choice.

so we were exited and were afraid if the tickets were all sold out, we pursued the ticket box which were opened in several places but we didn't get the tickets so bad. until finally Anno and Cendy initiative to buy a ticket, they came to the ticket box at Senayan and they got it. I really couldn't wait to watch the show. which made me more excited was that, five of my five girlfriends went. they are Anno Astaputri, Sakha Qatrunnada, Cendy Mirnaz, Sabila Anjani, and Niscaya Puri. oh yes, we had the additional personnels who are Sesotya Jodie and Endy Gower. YEEHA! Java Jazz approached! could't be more exited! (I didn't realize that I've mentioned it three times)

that night, Sondre Lerche performed perfectly. although he was only wearing a white shirt and jeans, he looked very cool. he brought some of his hits in the duration of approximately an hour and a half. he appeared alone, completely alone. the songs were played with very energetic and enthusiastic under the strains of guitar. all of his fans supported and sang along with him. although I was sleepy while watching his performance, but I was reluctant to miss his action at all. I swore in over your head!

after watching Sondre Lerche's performance, we went straight to the stage where Corinne Bailey Rae would perform. I was very pleased when I first saw Corinne, she dressed with very elegant. she brought the songs from her second album, The Sea (2010). too bad, I was a bit far from the front row of the stage. I felt a little upset and regretted being left by friends. but this was not a big deal. I was so grateful because I could finally satisfy my curiosity to see them perform, the two artists who I had waited. 

going back from the Java Jazz, me and my girlfriends stayed overnight at my home, had Bebek Kaleyo at the next afternoon, then that evening they went to their own homes. thanks girls (thanks my brother), me love you!
