Jam Up Session At Kaleidoscope

The time finally arrived when I was with the guitar virtuosos: Sunil Dai, Gaurab Dai who were accompanied by Sudip Rijal Dai and Rijen. The jam up session was done at Kaleidoscope music institute which is the oldest and the best music institute in town. These people were later joined by Pramod Dai who plays guitar very well and can jam up with anyone.

The show started off with Gary Moore’s classic called the “Empty room”. I was the only one who was there from the beginning to the end and this very first number rocked me. Sunil Dai who is a very renowned guitarist played and sang it with great feeling. Gaurab Dai too was busy playing the counters and solos with the same intense as he used to play on stage.

After a couple of songs, some other close friends arrived at the show. These guys never stopped playing and singing. The songs done by them included hotel California, smoke on the water, road house blues, still got the blues, cocaine and many other great numbers. The one which I enjoyed the most was the CCR’s classic Susie Q. On this particular song, Gaurab Dai moved in to bass and wow man he plays the bass for real. Sunil Dai too was not out of touch as we haven’t seen him playing live for a long time. In fact all the Dais had the music passion in them which could be seen and felt when they were playing. They’ve got music in each and every vein in their body.

Apart from these western numbers they did a couple of nepali songs as well. One of the all time hit called “Kaha timro mayalulai” had the original vocalist Sudip Rijal Dai and the improvisation and jam up thing was awesome. Those entire three Dais simply kept on playing and every one of them played solos as well. All those dais present there in the jam up session gave chance to everyone to show what they posses, the drummer vai too was outstanding and showed his talents with his drum solo. After four hours or so after the continuous play, the show was wrapped up with Susie Q.

I was longing for more and Gaurab Dai too did not have enough play yesterday, so he for sure will be jamming again pretty soon. I bet none of those great musician dais were fully satisfied with yesterday’s jam. I should say that this is the start of another beautiful dawn which will bring live performances into life.
