Accra 28th September, 2010: The September edition of the Silverbird Cup a Jazz concert rose to a different crescendo last Tuesday with several jazz icons including Asabea Cropper, Kente Man, Bessa Williams, Willie Roy, Toni Manison and Uncle Charles. It was an atmosphere of bliss and enjoyment at the Silverbird Lifestyle Store as the ace musicians treated an insatiable audience to favourite local and international jazz tunes.
Queen of highlife Asabea Cropper and Kenteman rocked the audience with African tunes and turned the Lifestyle Store into a virtual dance hall as the audience joined in the performance with rhythmic dance moves. Multi-talented instrumentalist Willie Roy took to the drums while Bessa Williams took to the keyboard and they both turned the atmosphere into something else as the audience roared and cheered with shouts of joy.
Said Frank Robinson, an American audience, “This is really great. I really enjoyed the concert and I can’t wait for the next edition of Cup a Jazz. I think Silverbird should organise this more often. It’s amazing!”
Besiwa Konduah, an ardent jazz lover also said “Wow! Having Asabea, Kenteman, Willie, Bessa and all these celebrities on one show is just something else. To say one has missed something for not being here is an understatement. I simply can’t wait for the next surprise at Silverbird Cup a Jazz”
The two-hour event attracted several jazz lovers including Americans, British, Canadians, South Africans, Caribbeans, Nigerians, Kenyans, Ghanaians and several other nationalities. There were also business executives and corporate executives including Edward Boateng of Global Media Alliance.
General Manager of Silverbird Ghana Limited, Albert Mensah says “Silverbird is poised to offering total entertainment. There are a good number of Ghanaians and residents who enjoy jazz and we are happy to offer jazz on regular basis to people who yearn for the genre of music that seems to be the preserve of only a privileged few. We are most grateful to Schweppes for their support in making this possible”.
The Silverbird ‘Cup a Jazz’ classical music event comes off on the last Tuesday of every month at Silverbird. The monthly event, apart from offering quality entertainment also provides a unique platform for interaction and networking.
