The good people at Niu’s on Silom Jazz Club & Wine Bar are ready to put on a show. A big show, a REALLY big show. It’s so BIG it’s going to have to be held outside the club. It’s so VERY BIG you may have already gotten some of the advance word, but let me do this right and give you the full announcement:
On December 11th and 12th, 2009, the open-air courtyard at Baan Silom Arcade will be transformed into a “dream of jazz, blues, and world music” for Niu’s 1st International Bangkok Jazz Festival!
This is the single biggest event with which Enlightened Planet has ever been involved, and we are finally able to live up to our long-standing company vision and present jazz, blues, and world music, all in one major event.

After several stellar performances featuring the acoustic sounds of Tim Garland’s Lighthouse Trio at Niu’s on Silom in September, Enlightened Planet shifts gears and heads in an entirely different direction for October: electric jazz fusion!
Enlightened Planet is proud to be associated with Prart Music Group’s presentation of the “Super Jazz Trio”, featuring Scott Henderson on guitar, Jeff Berlin on bass, and Dennis Chambers on drums, at 8:00pm on October 20th, 2009 at The Landmark Hotel Bangkok.
Scott Henderson claims to be a blues-rock guitar player. His early fascination with monster rock guitarists like Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, and blues greats such as Albert King and Buddy Guy, tempered by the influence of jazz music, led him finally to the style of music he is most famous for playing and composing. In his early professional years he played with Chick Corea’s Elektric Band, violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, and Weather Report’s Joe Zawinul, and then set out to create his own sound with bands like Tribal Tech and Vital Tech Tones.
