NOTE

Tessera is Singapore’s newest and freshest all-female modern jazz ensemble. Comprising four unique and talented musicians, the band exhibits a sound that is a synergy of each band member’s musical and life journeys. The result is an approach to jazz that is refreshing and revitalising.

Brought together to perform as a band for the Singapore Wine & Jazz Festival 2010, the four experienced musicians discovered a mutual musical chemistry and spirit of adventure that energised their improvisational jams. Bolstered by a rousing reception and stamp of approval from jazz aficionados and veteran jazz musicians at the festival, the four musicians saw their success as a band as an affirmation of their shared musical destiny as Tessera.

Since then, Sharon Nunis (piano), Wendy Phua (bass), Yap Shu Mei (violin), and Audrey Tang (drums) have jammed with jazz greats such as Makoto Ozone and Christian McBride, as well as reggae rap superstar Shaggy, and Riki Hendrix, the cousin of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.

Now, Tessera forges ahead in their progressive jazz journey with their first ever performance at Late Nite, showcasing an eclectic collaboration of their musical minds and artistic visions.

Tessera is managed by WA! Music Management

We managed to record a clip of the duo bass jam I had with James Lomenzo (ex-bassist of White Lion, Megadeth) at his recent bass clinic in Singapore. He really is a sweet guy for a veteran metal bassist, and it was loads of fun jamming with him.

Solo Bassist Wendy Phua
A Clinic in Songwriting On Bass with iPhone Apps
Yamaha Great Music Sale
Yamaha, Plaza Singapura
13 June 3pm

OPEN TO PUBLIC – FREE ADMISSION

The Yamaha Great Music Sale presents a free Clinic in Songwriting On Bass with iPhone Apps by Bassist and Composer Wendy Phua

The clinic will feature discussions about the process of songwriting, how modern technology like iPhone Apps can help a musician record song ideas and perform “live-looping”, and breaking out as a solo musician/composer.

Wendy is perhaps best known for tapping on the bass and composing instrumental solo bass songs, as heard on her EP “Between Here And Then”. She is currently recording a full length album displaying a unique sound that infuses a mixture of world, jazz and new age, and features guest artists.

Wendy also sessions in various bands and will be performing at the Wine & Jazz Festival at Robertson Walk 2 July 2010 with an all-female jazz band The Fountainhead.
