The Godfather of jazz answers all your jazz prayers tonight, while a psychedelic rocker scats you with his phenomenal crooning tomorrow

You've spent many eventful nights at this hotspot, drawn to these gigs like the needle of a compass to the north, like the Mafia to the crime, like decadence to dark chocolate, a moth to a flame... get the drift?

Jazz up this weekend at the BFlat Bar and Highnote restaurant as you join in their first anniversary celebrations.

It's indisputable. His name is synonymous with jazz. In fact, a poster on a softboard near his studio or "den", as he calls it, at his Santacruz home in Mumbai, has 'The Godfather of Jazz' written on it. This godfather of jazz in India will take centre stage tonight.

Featuring the Louiz Banks Brotherhood, it's a treat for jazz lovers with the great Jazz pianist Louiz Banks, Gino Banks (Drums) and Sheldon D'Silva (Bass). They will present Shefali Alvares (Vocals), who sings like a trombone and has performed at BFlat with her own funk and blues band.

He's even done his bit to contribute to the patriotic kitty. Banks is credited with the signature anthems, Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, Desh Raag and Spread the Light of Freedom.

He tells us about his performance on Friday, "The Brotherhood Trio with Shefali will explore jazz from mainstream to contemporary jazz rock, latin, funk and fusion with a generous sprinkling of sizzling vocals." So we're sure there's loads to look out for.
