The Jazz Voyager
We’re off to the South China Seas to visit one of Singapore’s well kept secret. On this trip to Asia the Jazz Voyager is going to uncover the secret of the Singjazz Club located at 101 Jln Sultan 199002. Though nestled right in the heart of Kampong Glam, part of the secret is that you may have to follow the music to find the entrance. However, it resides in the Heritage Hotel and was formerly known as the Sultan Club.
The decor is ruby, the tables are small rounds, the atmosphere cozy and the music is a blend of crooners, pop jazz and a cross-pollination of genres. Interesting combination to be investigated. I am told to stay away from whiskey sours and Manhattans as they can be pricey. Food is downstairs so eat up before you come up. Open Thursday through Sunday from 9:00pm to 1:00am with Sunday being open for a jam session. For more information the number is +65 8481 3034.
