J.A.M.
(Just About Music)
This was a Six-Month
long concept at NYX, 32nd Milestone, Gurgaon, Haryana,
India, where the objective was to Provide Wholesome
and Variety Entertainment throughout the week and
justify the Concept Name by providing an outlet for
various types of music. This would create a loyal
crowd on each night who would come for their particular
type of Music & Ambience.
Called J.A.M. (Just
About Music) and the brain-child of Jazzy Joe, one
of India's Hottest DJ's and founder of Jazzy's Concepts,
the concept offered something for everyone as it
took you from country music to salsa to jazz to blues
to old hindi music. The concept was targetted at
the 30+ connoisseurs and executives who can appreciate
good food, drinks and music. As Jazzy says, " J.A.M.
was not for teeny-boppers who would rather dance
away to house or trance. It had a very targetted
and dedicated approach to a lot of people who had
stopped going to nightclubs as they didn't get what
they liked and deserved. We gave them a chance not
only to enjoy their preferred ambience but also to
explore new ones."
The week started on
Tuesday with Jazzy Blues, a night for Jazz and Blues
music - something a lot of people love but very few
places in the country provide. This was followed
by Wednesdays, which was Girls Night Out, which pampered
the women as they got to be the ones given priority
for entrance ( men can only come in if escorted by
a lady ), the Bar ( Special drinks for the night
) and Music ( More romantic music, something you
can't get anywhere else ). On Thursdays, the scene
got Hotter as every week, a different form of music
was promoted - from Country to Salsa to Rock ' Roll
to Hip-Hop to Rock and much more. To help people
understand the music better, live Acts and Dancers
also performed the music/dances with guests encouraged
to join in. Fridays were very different with a brand
new concept called ' Around the World in Eighteen
Days ', where every week, a new country was celebrated.
This was done in association with the various embassies
and was targetted towards Diplomats and Expat's.
Saturdays were more emphatic towards the Dance Floor
as everyone likes to shake a leg on a Saturday to
dance hits from the pop charts. Sundays offered a
totally new concept in the form of a Hindi music
night featuring music only from the 60's, 70's and
80's - only Records were used, No CD's ! As Jazzy
says, " You'll be surprised how much good Hindi
music comes from that era and no place played it
! " |
