Zestz JAZZ

Noryn Aziz
Already a veteran on the international stage in her 20s, and a staple among older artistes and co-billers, it is her warm, age-old voice that draws in a universal acquaintance. The perfect captured moment of this defining element of Noryn's persona was her memorable slot at the International Java Jazz Fest in Jakarta in March: legends and heavyweights from Patti Austin, Tania Maria and Bob James Quintet to Tower of Power, Incognito and the Brand New Heavies tipped their hats to sing a small mention of praise and recognition for their young fellow performer who seemed to come from out of nowhere.

A familiar face at the local Sunrise Jazz Festival for the past six years in a row, Noryn's versatility and demand traverses styles, status and degrees of exclusivity, meaning she could headline Sunrise - the creme de la creme of annual jazz jams - one night, a Tatler gala shindig the next, motor shows and the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week a week later.

If it's a big night to remember with oodles at stake, Noryn delivers. For the best of them, she's always been a name to call, and with the release of her debut album wil be a big name in her own terms.

Noryn Aziz is set to mesmerize music lovers with her rendition of jazz staples on Tuesday, 12 January 2010 at 9.00 p.m.
