No.1 Hotel & Suites Joins Forces with Maximum Jazz for International Jazz Day Spectacle
The international jazz day concert in Ghana will be held at No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel & Suites on Wednesday, April 30th, starting at 7:30 PM.
The Maximum Jazz Radio Show has taken the lead in presenting world-class jazz entertainment to the jazz community in Ghana as part of this year's International Jazz Day festivities.
As stated by Yomi Sower, Founder and Host of Maximum Jazz, observing International Jazz Day in Ghana provides Ghana an international profile.
The UNESCO and United Nations Jazz Day calendars serve as the foundation for global celebrations of International Jazz Day. As a result, Wednesday's concert has been listed on the JAZZDAY.COM website.
The concert on Wednesday further bolsters Maximum Jazz's achievements, granting them global recognition and endorsements from international organizations such as UNESCO and the United Nations.
Furthermore, Yomi pointed out that detailed festivities for Jazz on April 30 could aid in fostering additional Jazz communities and expanding current ones in Ghana, thereby increasing admiration for Jazz.
Fingers crossed, this will attract additional sponsorship and financial backing for jazz, which is essential for both media platforms like radio and television, as well as for supporting artists' performances.
The venue hosting Ghana’s International Jazz Day Concert, No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel & Suites in Accra, was represented by their General Manager, Mr. Tarek El Sinnary. He voiced strong optimism and faith in both jazz entertainment and his hotel’s contribution to the event celebrating International Jazz Day in Ghana.
During an interview held last Saturday on the Maximum Jazz radio show broadcasted via Guide Radio 91.5 FM, Mr. Tarek elaborated that their collaboration stems from the fact that the audience targeted by his hotel consists primarily of elite clients. Given these high-end clientele expect luxury experiences, jazz entertainment aligns perfectly with the premium service the hotel aims to provide. As jazz inherently caters to refined tastes, it harmonizes well with the brand image and reputation that the hotel seeks to uphold among discerning guests.
Mr. Tarek further mentioned that his hotel brand aims to become Ghana’s leading jazz destination, building upon its mission to be the top choice for luxury and sophisticated living.
The international jazz concert scheduled for Wednesday is anticipated to draw a crowd comprising elite socialites, representatives from luxury brands, business professionals, diplomats, and jazz enthusiasts.
The International Jazz Day concert this coming Wednesday will also mark the 13th anniversary of Maximum Jazz Radio Show being broadcast on Ghanaian airwaves (since 2012), which has led to their new slogan: "Ghana's Top Drive-Time Jazz Radio Show." Additionally, Wednesday, April 30, coincides with the birthday of the show's host, Yomi Sower.
The performances scheduled for Wednesday feature Nicholas Mettle on keyboards, Khali Sax playing saxophone, Niyi as an extraordinary talking drummer hailing from Nigeria, along with the main performer, Yomi Sower who excels in vocals and leads a folk and jazz quartet.
Additional Attractions Include: Traditional Dance Troupe; Social Mixing/Networking Events
Although entry to the concert is free, guests are advised to book their spots in advance.
