Captain of Jass

Singapore

JAZZMAN Jeremy Monteiro spends a lot of time on Jass these days. No, that's not "jazz" misspelt, but rather the acronym for the Jazz Association (Singapore), a non-profit body dedicated to growing the jazz community in Singapore, developing jazz education and excellence, and strengthening cultural ties internationally.

Jass work now takes up half of Monteiro's time, and some projects he might previously have taken on solo, such as education and community outreach, he can now pursue more ambitiously through the association.
