Almost a month ago I went to The Cool Quest in Luxor Live Arnhem. This was an amazing concert. Such a funky band and I loved it. It was their first concert from their clubtour 2016 with new songs. Looking forward to their new album which comes out soon. 

This cover of ‘Blame’ from John Newman... It’s a radio recording and I think it’s beautiful. 

The Cool Quest is so inspiring!

Jamsessie at HKU conservatory with great students Jazz&Pop! 😊😊 #singing #trumpet #bass #drums #piano

[manonanne]

Yesterday I went to the open day of the HKU conservatory in Utrecht. I joined a jamsession with students jazz&pop. We played the well-known jazzstandard ‘All of me’, including a trumpet-, piano- and scatsolo. 

It was much fun, and I liked the school a lot. Maybe they see me there next year :)

Gregory Porter - Concert - Lowlands 2014

Goosebumps, i just love his voice, music and energy.

Reblog from my other page. (m-an00n)

Gregory Porter live at Lowlands 2014 playing songs from his album ‘Liquid Spirit’ which won a Grammy for best jazz vocal album.

When I discovered Gregory Porter’s music two years ago, a whole new world opened up for me. The great songs and the way he puts emotion in those, beautiful. Inspirational.

Also listen to the pianist, saxophonist and drummer.

Cyrille Aimée, Adrien Moignard & Michael Valeanu - Well you Needn’t

[manonanne]

When I heard this version of ‘Well you Needn’t’ my interest in vocal improvisation was born. Cyrille Aimée is a French jazz singer based in Brooklyn. I really like her improvisations. She inspires me to improvise. 

Beside, the guitarists play amazing solos.

'Ranajit Sengupta is een van de bekendste sarode muzikanten uit India; Wilfried de Jong draait plaatjes van de Hard Bop altsaxofonist Frank Strozier; en muziek van multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller. Ranajit Sengupta is een van de bekendste sarode muzikanten uit India. De sarode is een populair Hindoestaans snaarinstrument met 4 melodie-snaren, 2 ritmische snaren en enige akkoord-snaren. Mainak Banerjee bespeelt de tabla. Wilfried de Jong draait plaatjes van de Hard Bop altsaxofonist Frank Strozier die niet heel bekend werd, en vraagt zich af waarom eigenlijk niet. De multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller wordt meer dan 500 keer genoemd in album credits. Hij werkte met veel bekende musici samen, o.a. Dizzy Gillespie, Paul Simon en met jazzlegende Miles Davis. Op zijn cd Afrodeezia, het eerste album dat Miller opnam voor het befaamde label Blue Note, is de muzikale weerslag van Millers zoektocht te horen naar de geschiedenis van de slavernij.'

This morning I watched and listened to ‘Vrije Geluiden’ (’Free Sounds’). The absolutely amazing Marcus Miller plays ‘Hylife’ (10:26) and ‘Papa was a rolling stone’ (26:49). Between those two songs Marcus tells a story about slavery. 

After Ranajit Sengupta plays, the two musicians play a great version of the well known ‘Cantaloup Island’ from Herbie Hancock (44:25). I think bass and sarod is a beautiful combination.

Beside, I’m very excited to see Marcus Miller 23 November 2015!
