Blu Jaz. 11 Bali Lane. Tel: 62923800. [contact: Aileen Tan. Off the beaten track in areas better known for teh tariks and shisha and kebabs, a fashionable, music-savvy and closely-knit crowd come for the music. Located in Kampong Glam, Blu Jaz Cafe is a cozy locale that has a very musical focus. It is a two-storey establishment on Bali Lane in Arab Street that houses a restaurant on the first floor and a lounge area on the second. One of its main concern is supporting and enriching the local music scene, with several renowned international and local soul, Latin and experimental jazz acts having graced its stage. 'Blu Jaz has a great feel,' says jazz musician Dave D'aranjo. 'Great musicians always pass through.' Another interesting feature is the 10-piece jazz band that plays every Monday.]

Night & Day 139 Selegie Road. Tel: (65) 6884 5523 [This venue is gradually acquiring a fan base of its own. It really is an oasis for those who appreciate a lack of pretension and a low-key environment. The place has such a... great natural acoustic that we play at the unamplified level of the saxophone. Drinks are all reasonably priced and of course there's no cover charge.w
