Wilbert de Joode – solo in your backyard*

Wilbert de JoodeThis Saturday 23 August, Wilbert de Joode will be performing solo in Westerpark as part of the series of musical performances interacting with the excellent sculpture exhibition of Herbert Nouwens’ – Angels’ Share. If you’ve been following these performances you’ve seen everything from Available Jelly performing their repertoire with guest bass saxophonist Jan Klare, pianist Oscar Jan Hoogland dropping a piano on the concrete (I believe it’s still there) and hacking away at its innards with forks and numb-chucks, to Michael Vatcher enticing his audience to play along with numerous bits of percussion thrown here and there or even a completely soaked John Dikeman squealing on his mouthpiece while biking through the park for an audience of no-one (I guess you didn’t see that one).…

Doek @ OT – March 12 Lean Left vs Cactus Truck

March 12 @ OT301.
The first time Cactus Truck played together was almost 4 years ago when they met up at Zaal 100 to “try playing as loud and fast as possible, just to see what happens.” That night, they went to hear Lean Left perform at Occii and realized they had a lot of work to do….

“Lean Left are a lethal combination of radical commitment, sonic intensity and breathtaking fluency from four musicians who, between them, have rarely strayed from the outermost borders of jazz and punk… The density, clarity and balance maintained throughout the two sets was a breathtaking reminder that this stormy, industrial territory is where many of the most pressing questions are asked of the structure and content of jazz today.”…

Doek @ OT – Feb 20 Mars Williams + Dikeman, Kugel, Van der Weide

The great Mars Williams is in town and we are very happy to present him at Doek @ OT as a special guest with the trio Dikeman, Kugel, van der Weide. Mars has worked with Klaus Kugel before, touring throughout Europe, as well as performed with John Dikeman and Raoul van der Weide in Europe and Chicago so it makes perfect sense to team him up with this trio.

Mars Williams is an open-minded musician, composer and educator who commutes easily between free jazz, funk, hip-hop and rock.…
