Guest IT Manager Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Just wondered is there somewhere I can take some O/S visitors to listen to blues/jazz, without having dozens of drunks all over the room. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1p Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Mango Tree Jazz/Blues band starts at about 8.00pm and goes on till 11.00/30 at present. Playing sax, flute, Thai flute, piano, bass, drums, mouth harp & occasional local and international guest artists. (Extra staff will soon, hopefully, allow later trading!) Drunks are kept outside with the cockroaches... Bottom end of Loi Kroh Road, on the right near the bars. Mango Tree opens all day, starting from 7.30am for breakfast & shows DVD Jazz & Blues during the daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedKelly Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Have you heard of the Brasserie ? I think they play jazz/blues......bit other stuff as well. there used to be a famous Thai guy playing there who was known for his ability to play excellent versions of people like Hendrix. But who was quite versatile and would play allsorts of stuff. I dont know if this is what you are looking for or if it would suit, but it always had a good atmosphere without loads of drunks etc. Maybe someone else can update this info as I have not been there for 2 years.

p1p Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Brasserie still going strong, the guitarist is the owner & he normally gets going after midnight. Brasserie is primarily Rock rather than Blues & does not play Jazz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 maeng-daa is water beetle, and very tasty as part of a chile dip. cockroach = maeng-sap phii tuk generally plays a couple of blues tunes every night, and his house band always does a few blues numbers earlier in the evening. haven't been to mango tree, will have to drop by some evening soon.

walker Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 There's a place on the south side of Tai Phai rd, a couple blocks west of the river, that has a group called "Teh Band"....I think just a typo for "The Band", with a young girl drummer and a really great clarinetist (who plays other instruments as well), who really makes you believe that he's a reincarnation of Paul Desmond. They play mostly 60's-style jazz, easy to listen to stuff, but they are very good, if not very adventurous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsoulbrother Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 not live music, but i discovered a great little shop selling great jazz, reggae, world etc, and at only 150 baht a cd copy. check out "Noahs Ark" on Ratchadamnoen near la villa Italian restaurant.

Surfing Spleen Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Is a guy named "Took" still playing in CM? I think the name of the place was "The Brasserie" or something like that but I'm not sure. Aloha, Spleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Must say the live music at Mango Tree was quite nice, and surely aided my digestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe he is still playing at the Brasserie on the river. He is also the owner of the establishment. Still Chiang Mai's best guitarist too by all accounts.

Johpa Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Still Chiang Mai's best guitarist too by all accounts. Are you implying that someone has replaced the legendary "Deng the Magnificent?" : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1p Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Are you implying that someone has replaced the legendary "Deng the Magnificent?" : ) No - He just lost his magnificence. (And his guitar!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
