⭐ Step beyond the velvet rope and immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Jazzing Around at The Capitol Jazz Club, an intimate listening experience set within one of Singapore’s most iconic art deco landmarks Highlights 🎷 Live jazz performances by a curated lineup of world-class artists 🏛️ A hidden listening room nestled inside the historic Capitol Theatre 🥃 A speakeasy-style atmosphere filled with soulful melodies and quiet glamour 🎶 An intimate setting where every note, pause, and rhythm takes center stage ✨ A journey through jazz’s rich heritage and vibrant future Artists Lineup May 2026 22 May - Glen Wee Soulful Storytelling in Motion Singapore-born singer-songwriter Glen Wee crafts a sound that leans into storytelling, drawing from personal moments and the quiet textures of everyday life, delivered with an ease that feels both intimate and assured. Glen Wee brings a modern, atmospheric edge to the residency. Deeply influenced by the solitary realism of Edward Hopper and the cinematic mood of Wong Kar-Wai, Glen’s performance is a "sonic journal" of urban life. Drawing from the lineage of 70s Motown and the Neo-Soul innovations of D’Angelo, he navigates the space where jazz meets soul with a quiet, cinematic intensity. An evening for those who appreciate the moody, reflective side of the genre. First stepping into the spotlight as a finalist on The Final 1 in his late teens, Glen has since carved out a path shaped by live performance and artistic growth. His time in Melbourne further refined his sound, immersing him in a vibrant music culture that continues to inform his style today. His debut album, Sounds in the City (2019), reflects this journey—an exploration of urban life, introspection, and connection, wrapped in understated grooves and melodic sensitivity. Whether performing stripped-back acoustic sets or fuller arrangements, Glen brings a natural sincerity to the stage, letting the music breathe while holding space for nuance and feel. At its core, his artistry is about connection—unforced, unfiltered, and grounded in soul. 29 & 30 May - Alemay Fernandez The Soulful Storyteller Hailed by MusicTalks Sydney as “one of the best jazz singers in the world,” Singaporean vocalist Alemay Fernandez is a veteran presence on the Asian jazz scene.

Beyond the concert stage, Alemay has been the entertainer of choice for visiting world leaders and cultural figures, including Kevin Spacey, Ethan Hawke, Lea Salonga, Paloma Picasso, Serena Williams, and most recently, former U.S. President Barack Obama. Her performances are defined by poise, depth, and a commanding yet refined presence—music delivered with quiet confidence and lasting impact.
