When you start seeing instruments in every corner of the house, you know it’s that time again. Bangkok Mojo is about to fill up with musicians over two Sundays in a row, as the fourth Silpakorn Faculty of Music Showcase — SU Jazz Combo — returns.
On Sunday, 3 May, nine junior student bands kick things off from 16:00, followed at 22:15 by a special guest set from the Ariel Tricomi Trio. Born in Bologna and currently studying at Siena Jazz Academy, the 22-year-old pianist brings a thoughtful mix of improvisation and fresh takes on jazz standards.
On Sunday, 10 May, two senior bands step in — a more focused set, leaning into the feel of a proper live music room.
What makes these nights more than a student recital is what happens between and after the sets. Ajarn Pisut, Ajarn Boyd, and other faculty members often join in, and by the end, it turns into an open, loose jam — students, teachers, and guests sharing the bandstand.
There’s something special about hearing these sessions unfold as a listener. Arrive early to find a seat and enjoy some of Thailand’s emerging jazz voices.
