Chillout

We got tickets to go to The Dubai International Jazz Festival, a 3 day long festival, held at Dubai Media City. It was very cool. The atmosphere was electric and the venue was just beautiful. At a park by the lake, you could either grab a seat on chairs or one of the comfy bean bags! There was a huge turnout and the set up was really impressive. There was lots of food put on by the Hilton and we had enjoyed scrumptious spring rolls, burger & fries, wine and a grape shisha listening to fabulous jazz.


We got to the festival just in time to catch the end of Mojo featuring Salha, had a look around and got some dinner and drinks before settling down to listen to Chico Freeman - Hilton Ruiz! He was fantastic. Silvia Droste was next, also known as Germany's First Lady of Jazz.

...Kool & the Gang...

Last was Kool & the Gang, needless to say they were awesome. These guys performed their greatest hits such as *Get down on it*, *Celebration*, *Let's go dancing*, and *Ladies night*. What a night!!!!
