The performance, which was open to public and select invitees, was held overlooking the stunning views of the bay.  Chandler put up an enthralling performance with featured songs meant to be both popular and obscure in that they are not commonly performed in a live setting in India.  While the band belted out some of the greatest jazz standards, the new ensemble expanded from the strict repertoire of jazz standards to include several popular numbers from various genres.  The band played some of the latest and some of the most iconic songs of today, completely rearranged and all brought back in other classic genres like Cha-Cha, Latin and Swing.

Seen enjoying the evening was Farhan Akhtar, Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Khanna, Fahad Samar, Suresh and Devika Bhojwani, Malavika Sanghavi, Ashish Raheja, Colston Julian, Devraj Sanyal, Sabina and AD Singh, Alex Kuruvilla, Kishore and Leena, Devita Saraf, Junelia Aguiar and Acquin Pais.


Mr. Anuraag Bhatnagar, Area General Manager, India – Marriott International and General Manager, The St. Regis Mumbai says, “Jazz is one of the intrinsic rituals of The St. Regis hotels across the globe. It will be our pleasure hosting jazz enthusiasts in the city with quality jazz performances and bespoke culinary experiences. This series will allow us to share the rich culture associated with jazz, bringing different styles of the genre to life for a new generation.”

The St. Regis Mumbai looks forward to continue hosting renowned jazz musicians with the program ‘Jazz Legends’ in the months to come.
