It is time again to go to the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. The line-up this year is amazing. It is very hard to choose where to go. Here is an impression of the first day (11th of July).
ZUCO 103 !!! PARTY !!!Â
Even when her dress fell apartÂ
Even when her dress fell apartÂ
Alain Clark was a big surprise. VERY GOOD !!!Â
It was a bit boring to see a old man there with some old singers. I had hoped for more swingÂ
This is Fink. Nice voice. And don’t use your (semi) professional camera in this venue (Yukon) if you don’t have a press card. It will be noticed !!Â
It was a hard choice to make. Will we go to Angie Stone or Jill Scott. Because we saw Angie recently in Heineken Music Hall we decided to go to Jill. Boy what a voice. She is so good!! A mixture of R&B, Soul, Rock and Jazz. Unfortunaltey we had to leave already after half an hour because we wouldn’t miss BOOTSY !!!!. But we should have stayed here…..

This should have been the GRAND FINAL of the evening. I know it was a tribute to James Brown. But did we really need to see all those other unknown artists? And when he decided to do something about the funk he just walked into the audience and we had to shout with hem “Say it loud, we Love James Brown” or something like that.Â
