Jazz in Shanghai

Tonight with a customer we went to a jazz club here in Shanghai. The place is called Jz Club (click on the link; their website is kind of fun), and we had a great time there!!! Though all things are relative, for Shanghai, this place was a bit expensive. They had a cover charge of 30 kuai (about $4.35), each ginger ale I ordered (do I know how to party, or what?!) cost 40 kuai ($5.81). :-)

The place was absolutely PACKED - a full house. However, after just about ten minutes of waiting, they showed us to a table that had cleared out, right at the front of the room. How lucky was that?! Tonight was Big Band night, and on this relatively small stage that had 15 players. For three of their songs, they even featured "Jasmine" - she had a gorgeous voice.

I have posted a video on YouTube (actually three videos combined in to one), which you can click below to view. The band/singing sounded great live in person, but I was actually a little too close to the band for the digital camera to pick up the sound very well. So even though the sound quality isn't that great, I hope you get the idea, anyway. We had a great time!
