When Oti Bazunu, the brain behind the Lagos Jazz Series, said the initiative was to have jazz floating in the air, and calm the tension in the city a little, he wasn’t joking.
Since Friday, jazz has been in the air in some parts of Lagos, calming people’s minds and souls after the usual hustle and bustle associated with the mega city.
The fun continues in the next two days as renowned jazz artistes from the United States, Europe and Africa will deliver exciting performances for select music lovers.
Bazunu says, “We’re inviting some of our favourite jazz musicians from all over the world to come and play for us in intimate and exciting venues.
“The Lagos State Government has kindly offered us the beautiful Muri Okunola Park. Our friends at the Sofitel Moorehouse are hosting the musicians and the opening event.
“The Federal Palace Hotel has opened it’s lush waterside grounds to us and the German Consulate is hosting a jazz breakfast. Noble Hill is providing great wines and Lufthansa is flying in the artistes. The show is coming together and it’s going to be wonderful.”
