Acclaimed musician and St. Regis Connoisseur Jamie Cullum kicks off Asia Pacific’s 1st ‘Jazz Legends’ performance at The St. Regis Bangkok

St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., marked the Asia-Pacific launch of ‘Jazz Legends at St. Regis’ with a marquee performance by Jamie Cullum, the award-winning musician and St. Regis Connoisseur, at The St. Regis Bangkok recently.

Cullum performed before an intimate group of jazz aficionados at The Drawing Room, the hotel’s stately lounge on Nov. 12. To the delight of the audience, Cullum performed much-loved songs from his latest album Interlude.

“Jazz is the quintessential American music genre which is deeply ingrained in the St. Regis legacy and we’re thrilled to share our passion for jazz with the launch of ‘Jazz Legends at St. Regis’ in Asia Pacific,” said Fay-Linn Yeoh, Asia Pacific brand director, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “Jazz is a great way for us to connect with our guests and we are delighted to entertain jazz aficionados and novices alike with innovative jazz programming and modern performances.”

In celebration of the brand’s authentic ties to jazz, the ‘Jazz Legends at St. Regis’ series provides a platform for guests, residents and the local community to enjoy exclusive jazz performances by both celebrated musicians and emerging talent alike, curated together with Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC), the non-profit organization whose mission is to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz.

In addition to Bangkok, St. Regis will continue the Jazz Legends series with Jamie Cullum at several other St. Regis properties in Asia Pacific throughout 2016.
