Jazz and the City- Honey Circle

This is our second time attending the Jazz and the City which is held at KT Art Hall near Kwanghwamun. Tickets are only 1000 won ($1) and different bands perform each day. Today, it was a group called Honey Circle and they were awesome. The band consisted of a saxophonist, a keyboardist, a guitarist, a bass guitarist, and a drummer. (Bass guitarist was the cutest!) But besides their look, the music was amazing and so was their stage manner. I became a total fan after today!

We took a group photo with the band after the show. I was so nervous here~

But it's kinda hard to tell who the band member is... Can you find the 5 of them?

Enjoy their performance!

Live Jazz Cafe in Daehangno

I went to my first live jazz cafe in Daehangno called 천년동안도 (Chun Nyun Dong An Do, which can be translated as 'For Thousand Years.') Daehangno in Seoul is a college town area, with many options of entertainment. It is especially known for its live music cafes, theaters, comedy shows and wine & coffee shops. You'll find many young Koreans (including myself ^_^) hanging around here. Lots of things to see, eat & drink!!

As for the jazz cafe 천년동안도 that we visited, it was very cramped with tables and chairs all facing the stage. You definitely feel like they overstuffed that place with too many tables. We got to sit at the very front which was nice but I had a pillar in front of me that blocked the view of the drummer. He did some cool tricks with his drum sticks but missed most of it from the blocked view. :( oh well. As for the menu, drinks were very expensive. I had to pay 12,000 Won ($15) for my cosmo and 9500 Won ($11) for my Hoegaarden, oh also 8500 Won ($10) for the performance. It got pretty pricey but I really enjoyed it. Hopefully I get to visit more live jazz cafes...
