Friday october 13 till Sunday october 15, jazz lovers were in for good times. In the Oosterpoort the JazzMarathon took place with a lot of new jazz music from Holland, the USA and France.
Since its start in 1974, the JazzMarathon has been the authoritative
festival of jazz and improvised music, where the newest
developements in jazz can be witnessed. Many musicians
experienced their European or world premiere on the JazzMarathon.
One of those musicians is the New York music-oracle John Zorn with
his Cobra project. This year again he makes a debut on the
JazzMarathon, this time with his newest band 'Masada'.
Highlights:
- STEVE COLEMAN with the world premiere of his new band 'THE SECRET DOCTRINE'
- VERNON REID, formerly the driving power of Living Colour, for the first time presents his 'PERSONAL SCIENCE PROJECT'
- JAMAALADEEN TACUMA and GEMINI GEMINI will make a funky tribute to Thelonious Monk.
Also on the program:
Trombone player/computercomposer GEORGE LEWIS plays
interactively together with an Apple.
The PODIUMTRIO celebrates
its tenth anniversary with international guests, among which
DAVID MURRAY, KELVYN BELL and CORNELL ROCHESTER.
TONY OVERWATER presents the result of the composition-

NPS.
