The critically acclaimed Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival lived up to its promise of an amazingstart to a three- day extravaganza. It was the opening night of the 14th edition of the festival and the atmosphere was electric as Youtube Sensation Postmodern Jukebox began to thrill the festival goers with spectacular tap dancing. Their energy was truly contagious playing hits like “Bad Romance” and “My Heart Will Go On”.  They even had the audience singing along to the popular cover of Justin Bieber’s “Sorry”. Following was British Rock Band James who did an encore as “Moving On” and “Sit Down” weren’t enough. It was inevitable seeing as the audience was begging for more! Everyone was in for a special surprise as Tim Booth jumped into the Fan Pit and Golden Circle  to sing along with all their fans bringing out one of the biggest cheers of the night! Then the Legendary Band Toto launched into their rocking performance wherein the level of musicianship onstage was immediately apparent. Everyone at the audience, regardless of their age danced along to each of their tunes. The world-class live band was in exceptionally fine form, starting off at a high level and keeping the energy up throughout their entire show. Their impressive set list included “Africa”, “I’ll Be Over You” and the joyous jazzy grooves of “Rosanna”. ###
