Good food, great company and live jazz, all in a chilled out ambience has made the Starters & More jazz night one of the most enjoyable nights out in town. Some of the internationally acclaimed artistes who have performed there so far are vocalists Paula Jeanine, Damaris Roser, Najla Shami, Kira Intrator, Helen Jones, saxophonists Jayson Jones, Tala Faral, Carl Clements, trombonist Allen Hermann and trumpet player Martin Dahanukar.

Jazz Junction kicks off the first jazz night of the new year on the 4th of January with an impressive lineup featuring Aneela Dias on vocals, Cyril Coutinho on saxophone, Lenny Heredia on keyboards, Colin D'Cruz on fretless bass and Cassy Fernandes on drums.There will be no cover charge.
