Thank you Jazzdag
The annual Jazz meeting in Rotterdam was a great success. Once more a great opportunity for The Dutch Nu-Jazz Movement to promote itself. With members of State of Monc, The Jazzinvaders and Scallymatic Orchestra being present, we received very good feedback on the upcoming album by Scallymatic Orchestra ft Soul Mack and lots of people seemed to enjoy the live performances by The Jazzinvaders (live at Radio 6 as well as their successful showcase later that night).

‘Scallymatic Orchestra plays Hendrix’ album news
SO live '12
After playing the Hendrix repetoire for over a year now, and dealing with some line-up changes, Scallymatic Orchestra is finishing up the album. Recordings are done, mixing is in progress. The album release is due in October 2012 on Flyin’ High Records.
In the mean time we acquired a new singer. The brilliant Soul Mack will be on the mic during future Scallymatic shows. Working as a warehouseman for a ladies underware trader during the day, he sings like a star when he’s on stage at night. This man has a classic soul voice which fits seamless with the arrangements Mathijs Duringhof made of the original Jimi Hendrix songs. So stay tuned, it’s gonna be worthwhile.

State of Monc goes Germany
During the end of may State of Monc did a small but very successful tour in Germay. It started at a great temporary club in Görlitz ( Alte Fabrik Halle ). A crowd of 300 went in with them and came out chearing. Next : Berlin ( b-flat Acoustic Music & Jazzclub), a straight jazz club with a sitting audience. Happily people loved it…even in a acoustic jazz club. Hamburg was their debut in Jazz am Stellwerk, a club in the ‘Bahnhof’. Great ambience, great club (with a spanking new PA) and very good received. They will hear more of State of Monc. That’s for sure. Thanks to everybody for being there. Keep your ears alive!
Jazzinvaders Album 4
It will take a little while but you should know that recently The Jazzinvaders started recording their fourth album. As always, The Jazzinvaders are keen to explore new musical territories so at this moment in time, it is kinda hard to tell which direction they’ll be heading. One thing is for sure, the boys and girl are enjoying the process to the fullest and will come up with some great harmonies, grooves and lovely melody-lines which, put together will be a feast for the listener once more!
