Brought to you by the Kinta Valley Symphonic Society, WVC Jazz Ensemble will be holding a concert and workshop at 1Lasam’s Mamut Room, Level 1, at No. 1 Jalan Lasam, Ipoh, on August 4 at 10.30 am and 3 pm.
Formed in 2006 as a trio, WVC completed its quartet line up with the addition of saxophonist Julian Chan. In 2020, WVC welcomed their new drummer Adriel Wong, and reverted back to the trio format. The group has toured extensively in the region, heralding back the spirit being “on the road” of touring jazz bands of old. Through these regional tours, WVC has brought its music to many corners of Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Macau.
Drawing inspiration from the many facets of modern life influenced by Malaysian and other Asian cultures, the music of WVC cuts across many musical genres and defies any kind of classification, with tunes such as “The Art of the Wind Up Alarm Clock”, “Found and Lost” and “Standing in the Rain on Euclid Avenue”.
