May 2026


1 & 2 May - Jeremy Monteiro
Singapore’s King of Swing

Widely known as Singapore’s King of Swing, Jeremy Monteiro stands as one of the most influential figures in the region’s jazz landscape. A pianist, composer, and bandleader with a career spanning decades, he has built a reputation for his unmistakable swing feel, lyrical phrasing, and deep-rooted connection to the jazz tradition.

Monteiro’s playing embodies the essence of swing—effortless, rhythmic, and alive with nuance. His touch at the piano balances technical precision with a relaxed musicality, allowing each performance to feel both refined and inviting. It is this natural command of groove and timing that has earned him his enduring title.

He began performing professionally at just sixteen, quickly establishing himself as a central voice in Singapore’s jazz scene. Over the years, his career has taken him to stages around the world, including a landmark appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival, where he became the first Southeast Asian musician to lead a band on the main stage.

His repertoire moves seamlessly between timeless jazz standards and original compositions, always anchored by a sense of swing that feels both classic and contemporary. Whether leading an ensemble or performing solo, Monteiro’s music unfolds with clarity, warmth, and an unmistakable sense of flow.

In 2002, he was awarded Singapore’s Cultural Medallion, the nation’s highest honour for artistic achievement. Today, beyond the stage, he continues to shape the future of jazz—mentoring emerging artists and championing the growth of the genre across the region.


8 & 9 May - Dira Sugandi - SPECIAL SHOW
Indonesia’s Premier Soul & Jazz Vocalist

Dira Sugandi is an Indonesian vocalist whose work sits at the intersection of soul, jazz, and contemporary R&B. Her approach is grounded in phrasing and tone, shaped by both classic influences and a modern, international sensibility.

Her debut album Something About the Girl, produced by Jean-Paul Maunick, introduced her to audiences beyond Southeast Asia, particularly within the UK soul and acid jazz scene. The record established her as a voice of quiet authority — measured, expressive, and distinct.

She has appeared alongside artists such as Andrea Bocelli and Jason Mraz, and remains a regular presence at major festivals including the Java Jazz Festival, where she has been recognized among the region’s notable talents.

On stage, Dira favors control over excess, allowing space, nuance, and dynamics to define her performances. The result is a sound that is understated yet assured, carried by clarity, depth, and a strong sense of musical identity.


22 & 23 May - Glen Wee 
Soulful Storytelling in Motion

Singapore-born singer-songwriter Glen Wee crafts a sound that moves effortlessly between soul, folk, R&B, and pop—anchored by a voice that is both warm and deeply expressive. His music leans into storytelling, drawing from personal moments and the quiet textures of everyday life, delivered with an ease that feels both intimate and assured.

First stepping into the spotlight as a finalist on The Final 1 in his late teens, Glen has since carved out a path shaped by live performance and artistic growth. His time in Melbourne further refined his sound, immersing him in a vibrant music culture that continues to inform his style today.

His debut album, Sounds in the City (2019), reflects this journey—an exploration of urban life, introspection, and connection, wrapped in understated grooves and melodic sensitivity. Whether performing stripped-back acoustic sets or fuller arrangements, Glen brings a natural sincerity to the stage, letting the music breathe while holding space for nuance and feel.

At its core, his artistry is about connection—unforced, unfiltered, and grounded in soul.


29 & 30 May - Alemay Fernandez
The Soulful Storyteller

Hailed by MusicTalks Sydney as “one of the best jazz singers in the world,” Singaporean vocalist Alemay Fernandez is a veteran presence on the Asian jazz scene. Over a distinguished career spanning more than two decades, she has earned widespread respect for her musical authority, versatility, and consistently compelling performances.

Throughout her career, Alemay has collaborated with an exceptional range of international artists, including David Foster, Gregory Porter, Incognito, Ray Parker Jr., Nat Adderley Jr., Ernie Watts, Randy Brecker, Antonio Hart, Jay Anderson, Lewis Nash, Janis Siegel, Lauren Kinhan, and Bobby Soul of The Platters. She has also opened for Laura Fygi and the late Benny Golson, further reflecting the breadth of her artistic reach.

She holds the rare distinction of being the only Asian vocalist to have performed with three of the world’s most prestigious jazz orchestras: Wynton Marsalis & the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the Count Basie Orchestra, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra—an achievement that places her among an elite group of international jazz artists.

Beyond the concert stage, Alemay has been the entertainer of choice for visiting world leaders and cultural figures, including Kevin Spacey, Ethan Hawke, Lea Salonga, Paloma Picasso, Serena Williams, and most recently, former U.S. President Barack Obama. Her performances are defined by poise, depth, and a commanding yet refined presence—music delivered with quiet confidence and lasting impact.
