The All-Thidsa Molam Band was in Bangkok this past weekend to perform at the Thailand International Jazz Conference. World Beat caught up with band last Friday when they played two sets at Isan Spicy BBQ, a rooftop bar at the Jim Thompson Art Center.
It has been a few years since I have seen the band, so it was good to see the members were busy during lockdown and are now back performing at festivals. Two band members -- Weerayut (sor, or fiddle, maestro) and Thawatchai (electric bass) -- have completed their doctoral studies in music, and all the members teach music at either Mahasarakham University or Roi Et Rajabhat University.
