With Singapore's King of Swing at the creative helm of the association, join him and several special guests for an evening of jazzy tunes in a fundraising effort to broaden the jazz scene in Singapore
Characterised by swinging notes and lively improvisation, the The Jazz Age in the roaring 1920s saw deeply passionate musicians and vocalists sharing the stage, with names such as Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Daniel Armstrong in the spotlight as the genre's most legendary figures. Today in Singapore, there is a man who is taking this music genre to new heights—nurturing new passions and making its music accessible to people from all walks of life to enjoy.
Music maestro Jeremy Monteiro, also known as Singapore’s King of Swing and the nation’s Cultural Medallion winner in 2002, has been at the forefront on Singapore’s music industry. Together with friends who share the same passion for Jazz, they established the Jazz Association (Singapore) (JASS) in 2016—a charity that acts as a hub for the country's jazz scene and supports budding jazz artists in their pursuit of the art form.
