• Paardcafé: Jazz Unlimited Presents Saskia Laroo & Dj Jazz Min Lau Tuesday 24 April 2012

  Jazz Diva Saskia Laroo, in Amerika door pers en publiek gebombardeerd tot 'Lady Miles Davis of Europe', is een van de weinige vrouwen die al meer dan drie decennia trompet speelt. Saskia Laroo creëert nieuwe stijlen, die worden omschreven als 'nu jazz' of 'swinging body music'. Ze slaagt erin verschillende muzikale genres zoals jazz, pop, dance en world op zo'n overtuigende manier te combineren dat het lijkt alsof ze altijd bij elkaar hebben gehoord. Het resultaat is een prikkelende mix van hip-hop, jazz, salsa en funk!

  Line-up:

  Saskia Laroo - trompet, vocals

  Warren Byrd - keyboard, vocals

  Maarten Bakker - bas

  Willem Smid - drums

  Aanvang concert: 20:30 uur (deuren open om 20:00 uur)

• Henry Mancini - Breakfast at Tiffany's - 50th Anniversary Edition Wednesday 14 March 2012

  If you don't yet own this Oscar-winning soundtrack, this is the version to go for.

  It seems extraordinary now to think that Moon River almost didn't make it into the final cut of Blake Edwards' iconic 1961 film, Breakfast at Tiffany's. However, when a Paramount executive suggested it be deleted after an early screening, it was only at the insistence of the film's star, Audrey Hepburn, that the song was kept in. Of course, the rest is history. Moon River went on to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song, alongside the film's other Oscar, for Best Score.

• Batida - Batida Thursday 08 March 2012

  Contemporary Angolan-Portuguese beats issued by the ever-exemplary Soundway label.

  For the last decade or so, Brighton-based Soundway Records has been introducing audiences to vintage musical delights from around the world. Specialising in quality compilations focussing on the globe’s hotter musical territories, the releases have been hand-picked by label founder Miles Cleret and a select team of deeply knowledgeable individuals, who are not only avowed vinyl crate diggers but several of whom have spent years living in the nations being investigated. Whether it be rocking Highlife from Ghana, psychedelic Juju from Nigeria, the enthralling Cumbia of coastal Colombia or the surreal Luk Thung of Thailand, Soundway has made the effort to issue material that is heavier than that put forth by rival labels, with booklets and packaging that also aims to go the extra mile in terms of delivering illuminating information. The label has also re-issued rare original albums from Ghana, Nigeria and Trinidad, but had not released anything contemporary, until now.

• Django Django - Django Django Monday 23 January 2012

  A proposition to confound expectations of what an ‘indie’ band should be.

  Begone, indie-is-dead doom-mongers! As east London-based, Edinburgh-formed four-piece Django Django prove on this thrilling debut long-play platter, there’s life in the old dogged-by-disdain genre yet. Smart but not showy, clever but never at the expense of a catchy hook, this is ‘indie’ par excellence: guitars that ring through the mix like a clarion call from the inspired to take up arms against the dunderheaded legions of lad-rockers; buzzing synths that swirl around like a cloud of friendly wasps; lyrics delivered in mantras, summoning forth similar sermons to those once purveyed by the mighty Beta Band.

• Portico Quartet - Portico Quartet Monday 23 January 2012

  An endlessly absorbing third LP from the inspired jazz outfit.

  Portico Quartet remain famous for two things: busking lucratively on London’s South Bank and employing the lilting gong of their UFO-like hang drum. But things have changed for this four-piece. The band’s wages are no longer thrown into open instrument cases, thanks in part to a profile-raising Mercury nomination in 2008 for their debut Knee-Deep in the North Sea. And last year their man on the hang departed: "I’ve always felt like a fraud at the hang drum," said Nick Mulvey.

• Sun Ra - Space Is the Place Thursday 19 January 2012

  Saturnian jazz godhead leaves Earth’s orbit.

  Herman Blount was born in Birmingham, Alabama, but by the time he began composing and performing as Sun Ra, he believed that he hailed from the ringed planet Saturn. And if that’s a little hard to swallow, well, maybe you haven’t listened to the many dozens of albums he recorded. Ra’s discography was as eclectic as it was voluminous, encompassing jazz standards and avant-garde experiments, pop songs and piano pieces. All of that output, however, was clearly the work of a singular, unique genius, one who was Not Of This Earth.
  
  By the time Ra recorded Space Is the Place in 1972, many of his contemporaries in jazz were also exploring the very Outer Reaches he’d made his own several years earlier. But even in the era of free jazz and fusion, Ra was plotting his own path. Images, for example, begins as playful piano sketch, building to a big band swing that veers queasily, like a roller-coaster trolley threatening to leave the track. Trumpeter Akh Tal Ebah fires off frantic peals while tenor sax-man John Gilmore lays down cooler ‘bop’ lines, blurring eras and schools of jazz into a new sound all its own. Sea of Sounds, meanwhile, is an abstract overload of free improv with the Astro Intergalactic Infinity Arkestra’s horns squealing and blurting and squawking, and Ra delivering flurries of extra-terrestrial communiqués via his ‘space organ’.
