The St. Regis Bar is honouring jazz with a toe-tapping affair for one night only
Jazz fans definitely will. And if you're one of them, here's the good news. To celebrate International Jazz Day, The St. Regis Bar in Abu Dhabi is turning up the volume with a toe-tapping night you won't want to miss.
Bring your love for a good night out, a well-crafted drink and some seriously smooth vibes.
On Tuesday April 29, from 9pm to 11pm, the bar will come alive with the soulful sounds of VNTG, a three-piece jazz ensemble that blends old-school charm with a modern twist.
Led by bassist and vocalist Rudo Pieterse – a three-time South African Music Award-nominated arranger who has shared the stage with icons like Alicia Keys and Gregory Porter – the group is joined by pianist Joel Ison and drummer Janelle Bernado.
Together, they'll bring fresh life to classics from across five decades, creating a mood that feels both familiar and entirely their own.
Of course, it wouldn't be The St. Regis Bar without something delicious in hand.
For the occasion, the team has put together an à la carte menu that nods to the Prohibition era, filled with signature mixed drinks and tapas-style bites.
Expect gambas al pil pil with a coriander beurre blanc or a mushroom tosta layered with urgelia cheese and almond pesto – each dish thoughtfully paired with drinks that make the most of the bar's moody, vintage-inspired setting.
Wrapped in rich wood panelling and tucked-away corners, The St. Regis Bar sets the scene for a grown-up night out, whether you're catching up with friends or you're out on a business meeting.
This is one mellow Tuesday evening that's sure to take you back in time.

Superman films' star actor Terence Stamp dies aged 87
Terence Stamp, who rose as an actor in 1960s London and went on to play the arch-villain General Zod in the Hollywood hits "Superman" and "Superman II," has died aged 87, his family said on Sunday. The Oscar-nominated actor starred in films ranging from Pier Paolo Pasolini's Theorem in 1968 and A Season in Hell in 1971 to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," the family said. "We ask for privacy at this sad time." The family told Reuters that he had died on Sunday morning. Born in London's East End in 1938, the son of a tugboat stoker, he endured the bombing of the city during World War II before leaving school to work initially in advertising, eventually winning a scholarship to go to drama school. Famous for his good looks and dress sense, he formed one of Britain's most glamorous couples with Julie Christie, with whom he starred in Far From the Madding Crowd in 1967. He also dated the model Jean Shrimpton and was chosen as a muse by photographer David Bailey. After failing to land the role of James Bond to succeed Sean Connery, he appeared in Italian films and worked with Federico Fellini in the late 1960s. He dropped out of the limelight and studied yoga in India before landing his most high-profile role as General Zod, the megalomaniacal leader of the Kryptonians, in Superman in 1978 and its sequel in 1980. He went on to appear in a string of other films, including Valkyrie with Tom Cruise in 2008, The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon in 2011 and movies directed by Tim Burton.

Miramax and DFI launch writer's programme to boost Arabic-language content
The programme will support DFI's series programme and original content development in the region. Miramax, the global film and television studio owned by beIN Media Group and Paramount Global, has announced a partnership with the Doha Film Institute (DFI) to launch the DFI x Miramax Writer's Programme, an initiative designed to nurture Arabic-language storytelling and expand the Middle East and North Africa's presence in global series content. The programme will provide training, mentorship and access to production and distribution resources for both emerging and established Arab writers. Each year, up to five projects from local and regional creators will be selected for development, tying into DFI's existing Series Programmes. Beyond development support, participants will benefit from Miramax's extensive international distribution and sales network, ensuring Arab voices reach audiences worldwide. Speaking about the programme, Jonathan Glickman, CEO of Miramax, said: 'At Miramax, we believe great storytelling knows no borders. This partnership with DFI is a powerful step toward amplifying emerging Arabic-language voices and sharing their stories with audiences worldwide.' Fatma Hassan Alremaihi, CEO of DFI, added: 'At Doha Film Institute, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling to unite, inspire, and celebrate cultural identity. Our partnership with Miramax marks an exciting new chapter in championing original Arabic-language content that reflects the depth and diversity of our region. By creating compelling stories in our own voice, we not only preserve our heritage but also bring communities closer together through the universal language of cinema.' The Writer's Programme represents a strategic step in strengthening Qatar's role as a leading media hub, addressing a long-standing gap in the region's creative ecosystem by pairing world-class mentorship with international market access. The announcement comes during a year of notable successes for Miramax across both film and television. The studio's recent highlights include the Academy Award-nominated The Holdovers, action hit The Beekeeper which grossed over $160m worldwide, and indie success Strange Darling. On television, Miramax's Golden Globe-nominated series The Gentlemen debuted in March 2024 as Netflix's top-ranked show for three weeks and has already been renewed for a second season.
