S.M.V. (Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten)
Last night at Paradiso venue Amsterdam.
WOW !!! Three mega bass players just jamming together. Playing new songs from their new album “Thunder” and playing each others songs. And the piece the resistance was Stanley Clarke on his acoustic base. His hands hurt after that.
What a night!!

North Sea Jazz Festival, the third and last day
Posted by ilona in Concerts, Latest News on Monday, July 14, 2008
When we entered the venue we went straight to the left side to sit on the tribune. But as you might know Alicia plays piano and most of her numbers were on that piano which was behind a very big curtain. So we saw nothing. Then we decided to go to the center where we saw much more but it was too far away for my lens so I used my friends Lumix.
But a very great performance nonetheless.Â
Time for another “plus” concert. Diana Krall Also very good, her voice together with her piano…smooth!! She played songs from Nat King Cole and one great song from Joni Mitchel called Case Of You. They scared us if we tried to take pictures so I have sneeked this one (very bad).Â

North Sea Jazz Festival, the second day
Posted by ilona in Concerts, Latest News on Sunday, July 13, 2008
The second day of the festival we were there too early. Ahoy hadn’t opened his doors yet. But it was a nice day and there was an outdoor concert at the Harlem venue so it wasn’t that hard to wait.
Then we walked to the Maas venue were Victor Wooten would perform.
He can play bass !!!!!!!!
After his perfomance we bought Victor Wooten’s new album and had it signed.Â
Miss CHAKA KHAN. What can I say. She played a lot of her old songs but also a few from het new album. Very funky. OW!
To catch our breath from Chaka we went to a small sereen outdoor place to take sips from our Carparina’s and discussed the performance.
Than we took a rest and desided what to do next while eating a fried fish watching “Metro Special Edition” at the indoor square.
We went to the Congo venue to see Marc Broussard, only the organization should have put him in a much bigger venue. There were as much people inside as there were outside. And we were watching it from the outside, so no picture of this one. 
You here a “black” voice when you close your eyes but he is a white dude. His voice and music sounds a bit like Al Green and Otis Redding. So very good.Â
 
We stayed at this venue because we surely want to be as close as possible to the next performance
Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings. This is very good Oldskool soul. And Sharon herself is a crazy woman. At the end my back and feet were killing me.Â
