The North Sea Jazz is not up to par! Entertainment

What he – like the mc of Eminem that took place Thursday night in Nijmegen – but which remained in "Amsterdam". did not help, of course. But in reality, the general public had already withdrawn from it. The huge Nile Hall was not half full, so that she was busy all day. Maxwell received this honorable place after the failure of D'Angelo . He probably only needed to move his left foot to build a bigger party than his colleague R & B.

While Maxwell had a lot of space, the other pieces were just too small. Soon, there was a decent row in front of the Hudson Room, where the King of New York Salsa Willie Colón loosened his hips with his warm blood. Worse was that Maas, the palace of Ahoy regular sports, the same thing happened with The Roots .

Laugh

This legendary set was the most anticipated Friday, but the band seemed a bit bored to stand on stage. The drummer of The Roots laughed for a moment, but pulled his face in the same gruff fold as that of the singer Tariq & # 39; Black Thought & # 39; Trotter . Legends do not have to laugh

Contrast with Cory Henry one of their 'friends' came to play the joke, so was ridiculous. Henry, who joked like crazy behind his Hammond organ, and The Roots, who was very serious about their famous jazzy hip-hop. And where other 'friends' & # 39; Bilal seemed as stoned as a shrimp and could barely keep their eyes open, The Roots men continued to help. That Beyoncé Elvis Costello and Prince already wanted to cooperate with these tight leaders of Philadelphia, said the visitors of the NSJ. Those who could still catch the room packed at least.

crowded festival days

The foolish thing is that the festival with great performances by The O … Jays Snarky Puppy with the Metropole Orkest and the beautiful twin sisters Ideyi had started so energetically. Even in the early evening, visitors did not have to get bored for a minute. The American bluesman Gary Clark Jr. . still excelled in solidity in the Meuse. For Emeli Sandé then in the Nile, more or less the same but in his region of the well known soulpop. And the 59-year-old bassist Marcus Miller who still works with Miles Davis showed the work of his recently released album Laid Back on which he explored such styles as than the R & B and the stairs. It sounds great, especially for the fans of Miller's majestic tap technique, which feasted.

What's left after all this? Two days of more packed festival in Ahoy of course. With today a resounding closing party. In the Nile is the disco night with the first Nile Rodgers & Chic then Earth, Wind & Fire . All NSJ veterans, so here is the construction. In addition, he looks forward Gregory Porter who gives a show Nat King Cole & Me with the Metropole Orchestra. The great talent Leon Bridges arrives, the remarkable old patron of blues Robert Finley and also Jett Rebel is again invited. For hip-hop fans, Anderson .Paak is here and at 10:30 pm there is another concert in the Amazon room that Jazz Loves Disney was baptized. A French company of seventeen people plays the most beautiful classics of famous animation films. Who has not grown up?
