A night of swing, boogie & blues at Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao
SHANGHAI, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Have you ever dreamed of wearing feather boas and a cute hat or holding a silver-tipped cane, dancing wildly under the influence of the 1930s Shanghai jazz scene? For the lucky folk who attended Shake Shanghai 2012 at the Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao, there was all that and more!
With the ballroom all decked out in the full glitz and elegance of that famous era, the hotel presented a pulsating night of swing, boogie and blues music to an appreciative audience of fun lovers and friends on Wednesday 23rd May.
The band featured world-famous Pianists Richie Loidl and Clemens Vogler, drummer Franz Trattner, bassist Gernot Haslauer and Shanghai regular David Redic, a highly acclaimed ensemble of musicians who have performed around the world at boogie and blues festivals as well as gigs at top venues in major cities. Their outstanding performances had the music fans swooning.
The amazing appearance of Redic and his band created a frenzy that had the audience up off their seats dancing and jumping around to the Redic team’s passionate and lively singing. After swing and blues numbers, the amazing boogie performed by Richie and Clemens raised the tempo even higher.
It was a truly memorable evening for all music fans as they experienced an extraordinary musical journey accompanied by a banquet dinner prepared by the Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao’s award-winning chefs. As one guest remarked, “That was a glorious feast of vision, hearing and taste!”
