Mike Aremu, the initiator of popular Jazz concert, ‘Sax Appeal’ has disclosed how he was able to get Grammy award winning saxophonist, Kenny G, to perform at this year’s show. The 56-year-old American saxophonist will perform at the third edition of the event holding on Saturday, July 1 at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island. Aremu disclosed that, “Getting Kenny G was really easy, my team and I agreed on having Kenny G perform at the 2011 edition of Sax Appeal last year, and then we began speaking to our very good friends at Wave FM in California. Sometime this year, we got to speak to his management team, and then they agreed to come to Nigeria in July. A couple of meetings and exchanges and here we are.”
Tagged ‘The Jazz show of the year’, the concert will also feature MOBO award winning Briton, Yolanda Brown; South African Judith Sephuma and Kunle Ayo, a Nigerian guitarist based in South Africa. Aremu and singer Waje will complete the line up. www.facebook.com/emmanuelsamuko
