Dave Andrew recently unveiled his 2nd album Re:covered
at a launch at Backyard in Hartamas. It consists of songs from the early to mid
1900′s. In his own words, he has looked back at this rich legacy to find songs
and reasons for covering them. A great
song stands the test of time but may occasionally need a new frock to show it
off again.

The
dust has settled and the 7th edition of Borneo/Miri Jazz has recently ended.
The festival organisers, Sarawak Tourism Board (STB), were not kidding when
they created the tagline “Where adventure lives!”.
What
an adventure it was indeed, given its open-air setting amidst the lush green
landscaped gardens of the Parkcity Everly Hotel, with its beach fronting the
South China Sea.
