Yesterday Lorren Rettich, Gianna Tam, Leroy Rey and I we performing as Wicked Jazz Sounds at a party in Leeuwarden. On the way to the gig we were in a little snow storm including thunder and lightening so winter finally showed its face. The gig took place at Neushoorn, a beautiful modern multifunctional concert venue which replaced a legendary but outdated night club I remember playing there about 8 years ago. So here we were, in the brandnew building, playing at an event, DJ Leroy Rey was spinning his nicest tracks and Gianna, Lorren and I were improvising on it. Good times!
On the way back we had to take a different route because of road construction works. So we had to drive through this really pittoresque village at night and follow "1" (plate number). Of course it's always good to follow the "one".
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel.
