Introduction
One of the hardest things to do in life is to understand and indulge on an art borrowed from the ancestors of jazz and their predecessors. Jazz is an intricate art, yet full of instinctive and spontaneous beauty, the finesse that most musicians strive to achieve.
Eye2Eye Jazz Mix formed in 1998, by three Kuala Lumpur musicians, aspires to embark on a journey of artistic experience. A road that knows no boundaries which leads to spontaneous musical interpretation, enchanting harmonies, complex rhythms and a sound developed decades ago from the shores of America, which the world recognize as Jazz music.
To cultivate an understanding of this Afro-American art needs serious and focused theoretical and practical study. The rank of student and professional musicians alike have accepted it as a lifetime commitment to excel in jazz, an undeniable fact which jazz musicians agree unanimously. This has become the ultimate challenge posed by an ever-evolving art form that influenced many modern music arrangements and compositions.
Eye2Eye Jazz Mix had to endure a working trend so common in the Far East, a trend that club owners and the local audience expect musicians to perform all genres of music. Thus, there was a dilemma between “playing everything” and being selective for gigs. Albeit all that had happened, they remained positive to the thought that the local entertainment scene will evolve to cater for jazz musicians.
Many musicians do experience the freedom of musical expression that the group offers. The motto was simply to play your heart out. The essence of respect keeps the band together. They have different cultural and ethnic origins of Malay & Chinese! No wonder there is a mix in their jazz. They performed at the Bali Jazz Festival 2005, Bandung Jazztival 2006, Bali Jazz Merah Putih 2006, Malacca Strait Jazz Festival / Riau Jazz 2007 which drew much appreciation from audience and participating musicians.
