He was quoted by The Borneo Post as saying that he hoped such move would allow jazz lovers worldwide know when to book their flights for the festival.
Karim who commended the festival as being ‘sold out’ last year, also hoped that the venue of the festival be expanded beyond what it is today, suggesting also to have barges to be rented out to accommodate more festival goers.
This Kuching Waterfront Jazz Festival 2018 begins next week from the 28 to 29 September 2018.
It will feature 14 jazz musicians and bands from all over the world. Among the line up are Sarawakian songstress Dayang Nurfaizah, Tompi (Indonesia), Aditya (Indonesia), Atilia Haron, Carmen Souza (Portugal), The Natalie Gillespie Band (Australia), Aisyah Aziz (Singapore), Ito and the Blues Gang.
