For drummer Arthur Kam, the memory of watching Jerry Felix perform for the first time in the early 2000s remains etched in his mind.

“It was a drum clinic with (Japanese jazz fusion drummer) Akira Jimbo,” recalls the 34-year-old. “Jerry, Lewis Pragasam and Zahid Ahmad opened the event and even jammed with Akira. I didn’t know Jerry personally then – I just saw him play – and it was mind-blowing.”
