Group
|
 |
 |
| Nguyên Lê |
Geri Allen |
The group led by African-American lady-drummer Terry
Lyne Carrington comprises an international star-studded cast of five. – On
piano, the singular Geri Allen. On sax, the amazingly versatile Gary
Thomas. The Vietnamese multi-stylist Nguyên Lê is on guitar.
And the highly dependable Lars Danielsson on bass. A genuinely unique
configuration.

Mike
Stern
|
 Propelling highly charged electric jazz, American
guitarist Mike Stern – once a member of Miles Davis’ and of
Randy Brecker’s numerous bands – remains a most powerful exponent of modern,
rhythmically rapturous axe-craft.
Mike Stern’s appearance at Jazzkaar 2001 is one of the festival’s likeliest
highlights. Not to be missed!

Django
Bates
Quiet Nights
|
The presenter of present-day British
flavours at this year’s festivities, pianist-saxophonist Django Bates
is a globally renowned representative of the UK jazz elite. Extensive of stylistic grasp
and lively of stage manners, Bates & band are not to be missed.
|
Eliane
Elias
|
 The trio led by superb pianist and
vocalist Eliane Elias – and featuring Marc Johnson,
electric bassist extraordinaire – will perform Elias’ original music and choice
covers of bossa nova classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim. A lovely alliance of
Braziliana and jazz lore, brimming with finesse and invention.
|
Joey
DeFrancesco
|
 The earthy and exuberant sound of the
venerable and vital Hammond B3 has adorned many a jazz style past and present, Acid or
otherwise. And Joey De Francesco, he of ao. Miles Davis’ and John
McLaughlin’s small groups fame, is a distinguished modern master of the Almighty B3
Groooooooove. …Should we say more? (Okay. If you insist.) Go get on the one, tune in
and groove along like there’s no tomorrow.
|
Vicente
Amigo
|
 Last spring, due to an unexpected health-mishap, Vicente
Amigo’s no-show made us sorely miss him. This year, back in rude health,
he’ll eventually come and reveal to us the flaming heart and burning soul of New
Flamenco. Welcome!!!
|
Baron
Samedi
 |
Indefatigable, percussive proponents of
Gallic wit and Mediterranean warmth for the past ten years, Baron Samedi
derive their noble moniker from the name of a Haitian Voodoo deity. (Or so our good
Baron’s legend would have it. Anyway.) Their drum-driven pulses, peppered with
various exotic ingredients and jazz, are ten times catchier than the snuffles – and
‘bout a hundred times healthier too.
|
Omar
Sosa |
 The energetic septet directed
by Cuban pianist Omar Sosa impacts and ignites a musical mindblower
distilled from the rainbow riches of Caribbean rhythms and the timeless energy of the
ancient Yoruba tradition.
Furnished with sharpish jazz, HipHop and R&B elements, this makes for a genuinely
explosive mixture.

| Jimi Tenor |
April 25th
 Many are the sides to Jimi Tenor’s
roguish personality; several are the styles that shape his resplendent musical collages.
Schooled in his youth in classical flute and saxophone playing, nowadays this Flying Finn
is one of the best-respected dance charmers, able of effortlessly juggling lounge-core and
techno, jazz and exotica – at the speed of thought! At the Koloss Club he’s
prone to move yer feet as well as stir yer mind. |
| Krøyt |
April 28th
 An impressively mobile and efficient little task force – there’s 3
just of ‘em – who can effectively handle nigh anything between hypno-industrial
jazz, tripped-out-hop and mellow slo-mo noise pop. And – you sure can dance to them.
At the Koloss Club. |
| Christy
Doran New Bag |
April 27th

experiments in sound and rhythm, has played our festival for a number of times. With the
passing of years (surprise?! surprise?!) the man’s thirst for the
