SOULNATION - A Glimpse into.... Rahsaan Patterson

website

A native of The Bronx, New York, Rahsaan Patterson was named after 60’s jazz saxophonist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Often, his style is likened to the likes of Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan. In 1984, he was cast as “The Kid” in famed television show “Kids Incorporated”, where he appeared alongside Fergie, Mario Lopez and Shanice. In 1997, he released his self-titled debut album. Although the album received positive reviews from music critics, it did not succeed to capture a larger audience. In 1999, Patterson released sophomore album, “Love in Stereo”. Five years later, in 2004, he released third album “After Hours”. His latest album was released in 2007, it was titled “Wine & Spirits”.

*Rahsaan Patterson sang a duet with Grammy-winning songstress Ledisi titled “We are One”.

SOULNATION - A Glimpse into.... Akon


Born in Dakar, Senegal, Akon rose to fame in 2004 following the release of single “Locked Up” from debut album “Trouble”. His second album, “Konvicted”, even went so well to earn him a Grammy Award nomination for the single “Smack That”. He is the founder of Konvict Muzik and Kon Live Distribution. In 2005, he released the single "Lonely" (which samples Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely"). Akon's "Lonely" became the longest running single on the top of the chart, spanning over fifteen weeks. The song reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Australia, the UK and Germany. He is the only artist to ever hold both the number one and two spots at the same time on the Billboard Hot 100 charts twice.

Still Talking about....



.....Michael Paulo, Pauline Wilson and Maya Hasan's performance(s) at Moonlight House of Rhythm. We once mentioned that Maya Hasan would only be guest-starring for one day (August 6th 2008). Apparently, Michael Paulo and Maya Hasan enjoyed working with each other so much that they continued their collaboration until the last day of the string of performances (August 9th 2008). If you haven't heard (already), Michael Paulo is going to give a little something-something in Maya Hasan's upcoming album.


(Nita the Pianist, Michael Paulo, Pauline Wilson, Maya Hasan)

In one of his days performing at Moonlight Paulo said, "Hey, if you guys like what you hear in two songs we played together, you'll definitely love Maya's upcoming album. If you like what I play, better get the album when it comes out, because I'll be doing something there.."

Michael Paulo, Pauline Wilson & Maya Hasan @ Moonlight (6 August 2008)

The show last night was pretty awesome! Michael Paulo was walking on chairs and tables. Pauline Wilson's voice was just divine; Maya Hasan playing her harp was indeed a sight to behold.

Diana Krall to Enthrall Jakarta! Secured Your Tickets?!



Fresh from her European jazz-festival hopping (including North Sea Jazz Festival), the "first lady of jazz" directs her attention to Asia, including Indonesia. According to some, catching Diana Krall's performance is indeed an unforgettable, special opportunity. Wherever and whenever she performs, her tickets are always sold out! So, we hope that you don't take this lightly and IMMEDIATELY secure your tickets to see this fine songstress/pianist when she performs at Ritz Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place, on 5 October 2008.

*Progressive ticket prices (1 August - 31 August 2008)
Platinum: Rp 2,000,000
Gold: Rp 800,000
Silver: Rp 400,000

Michael Paulo & Pauline Wilson @ Moonlight (6-9 August 2008)

For avid fans of Java Jazz Festival, Michael Paulo is a familiar name. He's been the festival's artist in residence for quite some time. He's one of the most respected saxophonists in the world, has released a number of acclaimed tracks and toured with the likes of Al Jarreau, Olletta Adams, Rick Braun, David Benoit and Jeff Lorber. So, no reason to doubt his skills. Pauline Wilson is the principal writer and lead singer of cult-fusion group, Seawind. Her voice is sultry, sexy and attractive (definitely something you really want to hear live). So far, she has released two albums, "Intuition" and "Tribute". *Interesting fact: Michael Paulo was featured in "Tribute"* These two musicians are actually old friends, this would not be the first time they'll be jamming (aside from the fact that Paulo was featured in Wilson's album).




Don't miss out on the opportunity to catch these two in action!!

Greetings.

Java Festival Production has gone blogger.

We have decided to open our door and let you peek into the world of Java Festival Production: the great minds behind it, our stories, our projects and our perspectives.

Who is Java Festival Production?

*We are the organizer of, among which, one of the largest jazz festivals in the world, Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival. For four executive years, Java Festival Production is renowned for presenting a stellar festival which enlivens the ambiance of Jakarta, especially every early March. (Start marking your calendars for Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival 2009 - 6, 7, 8 March 2009!)

However, Java Festival Production would not stop at that.

Last July, we held "We Do Green Concert", to show our concern for the environment.

Starting this August 2008, in conjunction with Moonlight and Omega Pacific, we present up-close & personal live performances from various jazz musicians, such as: Michael Paulo & Pauline Wilson, Eumir Deodato, Alan Hewitt & Laura Jane and Spencer Day. (for more information: www.jf-pro.com and www.moonlight-rhythm.com)

For October, be prepared, because there will be two events that you must not miss:

* "Diana Krall: Live in Concert" @ Ritz Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place - 5 October 2008

* a festival dedicated to R&B, rap, hip hop and soul: "Jakarta International SOULNATION FESTIVAL 2008" @ Istora Senayan - 17 to 18 October 2008
