Stunning jazz-soul singer Lizzy
Parks, VJ Chromatouch and DJ Cro plus special guests will all be performing
live over six hours in an evening of funky fresh variety with supporting
partners hip NYC magazine Wax Poetics
The Heritage Orchestra will be
smashing their way through genres with dark and atmospheric orchestrations
of music composed by cult DJ and producer Amon Tobin, under the guidance
of inspirational conductor and musical director Jules Buckley.
Fresh from performances at the
Big Chill with The Bays and Meltdown with Massive Attack, the London
based collective have catapulted into the field of contemporary-classical
crossover music weaving breakbeat, D&B and electronica into layers
of strings and percussion. With an impressive list of sessions, collaborations
and concerts to their name, the ensemble were signed to DJ Gilles Peterson
label Brownswood following spectacular performances at London club Cargo
and have worked with notable producers and musicians such as DJ Yoda,
UNKLE and Bonobo.
‘Five star on-stage heroics’
London Evening Standard
Lizzy Parks, one of the most talented
and distinctive singers of the moment, launches her debut album ‘Raise
the Roof’ (Tru Thoughts) with an explosive live performance. Singing
sweet blues and old RnB amongst other styles, Lizzy is charismatic and
passionate with all the soul, groove and jazz you want, and then some.
The former Birmingham Conservatoire student has featured as a guest
vocalist with The Heritage Orchestra and performs regularly with the Nostalgia 77 Octet.
As a bonus here is a short feature on the making of their album
It’s taken a week for Jibbering Art to fully get back into the swing of things since Shambala!
From the sounds and the lasers in the woods by the Modulate guys; to the release of 50 floating lanterns from the lakeside; to the random acoustic jazz band that we ran into, in the early hours of Monday morning somewhere on Lake Boulevard; every experience we had at Shambala seemed magical and inspirational.
Not to mention the laughter and fun that we have shared with the artists. Big thank you to Fluid, Faith 47, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, Junc, LL Brainwashed, Lucy McLauchlan, Mac1 (& Mac2, Mac’s son), Marq Tu, Matt Watkins, Motorboy, Newso, Rowdy, Semor & Co, Sweet Toof and Sickboy.
Jibbering Art arranged for 17 heavyweight and internationally recognised artists to be let loose on 4 giant triangular boards that were situated around the Dome arena. The work that they produced was creative, fresh, varied and cutting edge. For pictures and more information on how you can buy parts of these boards for charity, click here.
We have a superb treat for you all at this month’s Jibbering Sessions- one of the most original funk bands in the world at the moment and one of the best live acts you will see this year: The Apples.
SATURDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER @ The Hare and Hounds
The Apples mash up funk, jazz, hip hop and big band swing to create a totally inimitable dancefloor sound that never fails to delight. They have a unique line up of 2 DJs, upright bass, drums, guitar and one of the tightest and phattest horn sections around. They have just released their latest album, “Buzzin Around” which features their monsterous version of Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing in the Name Of.”
We also have the Funkbox DJs hosting the main room, dropping the heaviest, rawest and finest funk which will certainly get the dancefloor bouncing nicely.
Added to that, the Smoking Courtyard will be hosted by the AfrikaJam Collective dropping the finest in Soukous, Afrobeat, Rai, Reggae, African Hip hop and much much more from all over the continent. Perfect summertime vibes!
