Quite a long time we didn't play together. The personil of the band still perform in many events and several times Rencang band perform with additional players. This time on See Hok Kiong stage of Loenpia Jazz 2014, finally we perform together.
With Olive Latuputty on vocal and Ari Kojack on percussion, Rencang band entertain the audiences attendance at front yard of 'Klentheng' See Hok Kiong, Sunday afternoon, June 15, 2014. Olive is a jazz vocalist who had crossed the globe singing jazz songs from stage to stage. That afternoon Rencang band opened their performance with a song Donna Lee, a jazz standards of Charlie Parker. Some musicians also said that the song was actually created by Miles Davis.
Olive then sequentially sang two songs namely 'Orange Colored Sky" popularized by Nat King Cole and 'Love That Will Last' from Renee Oldstead. After briefly communicate with the audiences, Olive sang a few songs starting from 'Good Times' belongs to Edie Brickell, 'Careless Whisper from George Michael and a song popularized by Hedi Yunus called ' Prahara Cinta' that we've rearrangement.
After an itroduction to the audiences, Olive and Rencang band closed the performance that afternoon with the song 'Happy' from Pharrell Williams. Last song that has a quite energic beat, Ari Kojack and I collaborated with a solo drum and percussion.
Glad to be reunited with the band in Loenpia Jazz 2014.

Salam kenal Mas Bagus...
ReplyDeleteBaru pertama berkunjung ke blog Mas ini. Saya baru tahu kalau Mas adalah drummer RencangJazz dan salah satu SC pada event Loenpia Jazz. Saya pribadi hanya penyuka jazz saja, yang saya sukai sejak saya masih sekolah di SMP.
Menarik sekali tulisan ini, karena sedikitnya saya bisa kenal dgn RencangJazz, bisa mengetahui sekilas tentang Loenpia Jazz dan bertemu dgn Olive...
Terus terang saya kehilangan jejaknya Olive. Saya suka sekali albumnya yang berjudul Fantasy yang dirilis thn 2007. Apa ada album Olive lagi setelah album Fantasy itu ya Mas?
Dan, Mas menyebut nama Renee Olstead disini. Bagaimana ya gaya Olive membawakan lagu Love that Will Last itu. Ah pasti syahdu. Saya pernah menyaksikan penampilan Renee Olstead di Kampoeng Jazz 2014. Saya menyimpulkan kalau Renee hanya dikenal disini lewat Love that Will Last. Karena saat Renee melagukan lagu itu, penonton mengikutinya syairnya dgn lancar. Lagu2 lain yang Renee bawakan hambar sambutan dari penontonnya...
Semoga tahun ini saya dapat ke Semarang untuk menghadiri Loenpia Jazz. Mungkin kita bisa bertemu dan mengobrol barang sejenak Mas.
Salam persahabatan dari saya di Sukabumi,
