Bob James set the main auditorium of the AICC on fire back to back with good music from his piano. After all, he is the two times Grammy award winning pianist whose works have been sampled by many musicians across different genres.
During the finale, Bob James did not hold back any of his good songs during the almost two hours of quality jazz performance. Even when he had completed his show there were many people in the audience who were still seated and obviously wanted more.
Bob James performed all his songs on the night with an amazingly good drummer in Jimmy Branly as well as a big bassist in Carlitos Del Puerto.
On most of the performances, the band was joined by saxophonist Tom Braxton to perform on the night. Depending on which song James and the band were performing, Braxton would use a flute, saxophone or clarinet to bring out the essence of the song.
Also performing during the festival were some of Ghana’s finest including Akablay and his band as well as the Ayisah–Dey Band. Indeed the entire festival was a blend of local and foreign music served to those who have good appetite for jazz music.
Several local artistes and groups showcased their talent on the same stage with jazz icons James and Braxton. They included Steve Bedi (saxophonist), Bernard Ayisah (drummer) and Victor Dey (pianist), Les Femmes (all- female band), Kyekyeku (guitarist) and Stephanie Benson (vocalist).
