Different manifestations of jazz music were heard at the recently held Borneo Jazz Festival 2011 in Miri, Sarawak, to the delight of fans comprising a good mix of locals, expatriates and tourists.
Formerly known as the Miri International Jazz Festival, the event’s moniker has only been changed to Borneo Jazz Festival recently, to “highlight its vibrant qualities and prominence with other international festivals, as well as to present Borneo as a top destination among tourists”, said the festival organizer, Sarawak Tourism Board.
Having attracted a smaller turnout of over 6,000, as compared to over 8,000 last year, the four-day event (May 12-15) had proceeded with much aplomb.
