Once again the Vancouver Jazz Festival takes over the city for the next two weeks with performances by signature and renowned artists from all over the world. This year I attended a performance at the Commodore Ballroom. Adahm Shaikh & The Collective (Live Tribal Fusion). I hate to admit it but, the performance I witnessed was a huge disappointment for me as a Jazz Festival supporter. An Hour into the start of the event, Adahm Shaikh did not enter into the main stage to show off his world famous musical talent. Instead, the audience was stuck with a DJ that kept mixing songs with an ear blasting deaf tone for everyone to hear. The dance floor housed a measly six people and they were all terrible dancers. After spending little over an hour for the show to actually start , I decided to leave because, the crappy music and painful sight of horrible dancers forced me to make a dash for the exit.
The only enjoyable moment of the concert was the newly renovated interior of the Commodore Ballroom. Overall the seating plan and layout of the dance floor in conjunction with the upstairs balcony and double bars makes it a must see visit for any young adult wanting to experience a terrific night life in the Downtown Vancouver Core.
