    Question JAzz and blues venues

    Hi,
    recommendations on any clubs/venues with good jazz or blues live performances in HK to take a (discerning) visitor? I like listening to jazz and blues, but am hardly a connoisseur

    Yes I am also interested in live Jazz music but unfortunately it is not popular in HK!! The best one has been at Kowloon Shangri La Hotel, but the jazz bar has become an ordinary restaurant.... sigh

    Just know that there is a live performance of Jazz at Fringe Club, but I dunno whether the band is still there....

    Elaine Liu is an amazing jazz singer and she performs at the Fringe Club quite often. Check BC magazine and see when she'll be performing next.

    Thanks Jake. I was wondering what happened after Dinamoe Hum closed. I just came back from US after a long departure, wondering where have all the blues gone.

    Try Le Rideau on Hollywood Road. It's a jazz/dinner place that was only recently opened. Check their website and see if anything catches your eye.

    Blues Rock at the FCC

    If anyone's up for some Blues Rock then Red Star Rising are playing at Bert's Bar in the basement of the FCC (Foreign Correspondents' Club, next to the Fringe Club near the top of Lan Kwai Fong) tomorrow (Saturday 27/9 from about 8pm). As always there's reasonably priced food and a cheap bar (bottled beer $21-29, house spirit+mixer $21-27, wine from $24/glass), and a pool table.

    The venue is quite small, and the crowd tends to be older - more 30/40 somethings than teenagers, but don't let that put any youngsters off.

    You do need to be a member to buy food & drink, but many people here are or know someone who is. If you really want to come and don't know any members then PM me and we can probably come to an arrangement.
