It was a smooth night to remember on the 8^th of September of 2018 for 7,000 jazz fans as the Iskandar Puteri Jazz Festival (IPJF) 2018 returned to Puteri Harbour, Iskandar Puteri, Johor.

The musical smorgasbord featured 12 experimental and classical jazz line-up performances on two stages – the Boulevard and Harbour Stage respectively. Guitarist Robin Banerjee, who played with the late great Amy Winehouse, performed “Seribu Impian” with Malaysia’s Casey Subramaniam. Indonesian bassist Barry Likumahuwa added spice to the musical proceedings with his funky grooves when he jammed and rapped to Linkin Park’s “In The End”. The night continued with renowned female performers including Dani, Agis Kania and Kirana Kay. Singapore’s Aisyah Aziz mesmerized the crowd when she performed “Getaran Jiwa”.

IPJF 2018 was warmly graced by Yang Berhormat Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali, Exco member of Johor Information, Cooperative Entrepreneurship and Creative Economic Development; UEM Sunrise’s Ms. Emilia Azyyati Abdul Rahman, General Manager, Corporate Communication and En. Nor Hisham Hussein, General Manager, HR Operations & Administration.
