The latest musical find is TEN 02, a jazz den, a speakeasy 1a bona
fide restaurant with great cuisine and a bar to boot, at Scout
Ybardolaza St. corner Timog Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.
Exuding 1920s Art a Deco appeal and boasting a
well equipped stage with piano and excellent acoustics, this the
perfect place for jazz aficionados, New Orleans style ragtime blues
buffs, skanking ska rudeboys and anyone else who wants something
more than the usual rock gig. From bebop blues jazz veteran Johnny
Alegre to the Brownbeat AllStars hangout here—not just to play
their gigs—but also to hangout and do an impromptu jam or two with
each other and anyone else at hand. Whether you wearing a zoot suit,
a pork pie hat, a Perry Ellis shirt, Doc Marten boots or any old
rag, this is the place for you.
And man, the food is great. Order your T-bone
steak and your breaded crabsticks with wasabi mayonnaise with a
bottle red wine or Red Horse extra strong beer. This is the real
deal.
It is owned by non other than Skarlet
Romero—famous as vocalist for Put3Ska and Brownbeat AllStars,
highly acclaimed for her 2006 solo album The Powder Room Stories and
winner at the 2007 Awit Awards for Best Jazz Recording Artist and
Best Producer. You might just hear sing and bring the house down.
