Jazz lovers at the Federal Palace garden.
The first Lagos Jazz Series, held at three Lagos venues from November 5 to 7, lived up to its billing. Jazz aficionados savoured performances from great artists including Karen Patterson, Jimmy Dludlu, Somi, Chinaza, Bez, and Morrie Louden at The Sofitel Morehouse, Ikoyi, on Friday; Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, on Saturday; and Muri Okunola Park on Sunday.
Conceived by Oti Bazunu to give Lagosians a unique experience of live outdoor Jazz performances, the crowd that attended the three shows couldn’t have wished for more. It was bliss soaring on the wings of great Jazz.

Patterson, Somi, Chinaza, and Louden opened the series on Friday at The Sofitel Morehouse. They took turns to entertain the guests, most of whom defied that evening’s rain to attend the show.
The artists allowed their music to speak for them, for the most part. They strummed their guitars; blew the horns in soulful tunes; beat the drums; played the piano, cello, and other instruments to create mellifluous sounds that warmed the crowd.
