KZ Tandingan Sang Great in Jazzified Concert!

The best joke in the Jazzified concert of Markki Stroem and KZ Tandingan last night was when she said that she was not nearly as sexy as the person in the OTHER concert last night, so she just said, babawi na lang siya sa pagkanta - and the crowd clapped the loudest as she said this!

Actually, KZ can do everything - pop, rock, jazz, Aegis-like belting, bebop - she's one of the local female singers still under the radar, for now. She just needs a really good pop song para she registers with the masa.

Her performance of Somewhere was amazing! I thought tinuldukan na ni Barbra Streisand ang "How to sing Somewhere" guidebook, but lo and behold, someone pala can do an original version of that classic! God bless talented people talaga!

Concert Review: Markki Stroem and KZ Tandingan in Jazzified

This is the third OPM concert I saw this year (Lea Salonga, Sam Concepcion were the first two) and this is the first time ever that I saw more OPM acts than foreign ones. 

Well, that lead will not last for long as Vertical Horizon, The Lumineers and Ellie Goulding are all coming up, and wala pa akong nakikitang local act na I like who is mounting a show - unless I go to Saguijo.

Anyway, Markki and KZ stuck to their jazzified concept last night and almost 95% of the show featured songs rearranged in a jazzified manner. I found it rather cool kasi at least, I did not feel like I was just attending some karaoke party! Alam mo naman dito sa Pinas, everyone can sing, so you don't really have to pay thousands of pesoses just to hear someone sing Rihanna's Diamonds or whatever's a hit on radio.

Ready to Be Jazzified

I don't know the whole concept of their show but I do hope they play some Jamie Cullum songs!  It's pop contemporary jazz at its best!
