JAKARTA - The musicians who enter the lineup for the 2024 Mount Bromo Jazz are enough to steal attention. Cross-generational compositions and even cross-genres are presented there.

A number of performances that have been confirmed include Rimaraay, Elfa's Singers, Kuntari to Vina Panduwinata. But what makes you curious is the name Gigi Jazz Project.

Yes, what is meant is Gigi, a rock music quartet that is included in the 'legend band' category in Indonesia. Armand Maulana Cs will bring a new concept in Gigi Jazz Project.

Two Gigi personnel, Dewa Budjana and Gusti Hendy are actually familiar with jazz. They have their own projects and often appear in a number of jazz festivals in the country.

But for Armand and Thomas, this is a challenging experience. "Yes, every time Hendy and Budjana sing solo, we will continue," joked Armand Maulana at a press conference at IFI Jakarta, June 25.

Gigi wants to give something that is in accordance with the concept and vibe of Mount Jazz itself. Therefore, they will prepare a special arrangement in their repertoire later.

"Almost all the songs are arranged. It's a bit heavy as well as the name Gigi Jazz Project, that's why we feel responsible so that it fits the event. We will also add piano players and later will be accompanied by a brass section as well," said Hendy.

Within about an hour, Gigi Jazz Project will show their other side as a seasoned band at the 2024 Mount Bromo Jazz. The hits will certainly be included in the list, but will make you even more curious because jazz styles will be spiced up.

The Jazz for Mount Bromo 2024 will take place on July 19 and 20 at Amfiteater Jiwa Jawa Resort. Carrying the theme 'The Most Romanticzz', various excitement and collaboration will be an attraction that is unfortunately missed.
