You've probably already stumbled across this, but here's a listing of clubs...  http://www.jazz-clubs-worldwide.com/docs/hongkong.htm Have fun, CGP Recent Ratings 56kicks   19-2-2010 15:38   Acceptance   +1   Thanks!

Very popular spot, cold beer, good music, fun atmosphere. Also, someone told me there is a Jazz bar in the basement of the Peninsula Hotel but I have not tried that so cant confirm.

All the best to ya.

So...what you're saying is, unless you're black, you don't have the soul to play blues? Sorry to call you out, but that's bullshit.There are many different kinds of suffering, especially in Hong Kong; who are you to say that a chinese person (or any other person, for that matter) can't play the blues well?

#8 Post at 22-2-2010 17:28  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Hey come one now... this is not a basketball forum. Besides, the NBA is lame. Lost a lot of popularity in the US now, they will lose US$400M this year. However, this is about the blues and you don't need to be black, white or indifferent... you just have to "feel" the blues. The Musos at Ned Kelly's in TST are Fillipino and they are great!

#9 Post at 24-2-2010 07:13  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L I know its not a basketball forum, but its not a music forum too. I just use basketball as a reference to a racist remark. For a multi billion dollar corporation in a global recession, a small lost of 400 mill (i don't know if that is the figure), its pretty darn good if you ask me

#10 Post at 24-2-2010 14:56  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #9 sirtiger's post I thought it was a good reference. There are basketball players from all over the world just as there are musicians that can "feel" the blues from anywhere in the world. As for the NBA, those numbers are league wide numbers. The top teams are doing really well while the bottom teams such as the Nets are struggling with their attendance.
