Välkomna till andra upplagan av WCJ:s Authentic Jazz Weekend (AJW)
Välkomna till andra upplagan av WCJ:s Authentic Jazz Weekend (AJW)!
Helgen kommer att erbjuda tasters med Felix Berghäll på fredagskvällen, fest på lördagskvällen med livebandet Gentlemen & Gangsters, och som avslut en mysig tedans på söndagen.
Kurserna kommer att vara indelade i fyra olika nivåer – alla är välkomna oavsett erfarenhet! Samtliga nivåer kommer att ha totalt sex timmars kurs under lördagen och söndagen (varav minst en timme med Felix Berghäll).
OBS! Du som inte är från Göteborg/WCJ är givetvis välkommen, men då detta främst är en föreningsaktivitet som riktar sig till medlemmar kommer det automatiskt krävas ett medlemskap på 250 kr för att ta del av helgen.
Anmälan öppnar söndagen den 18/12 kl 12.00 och då är det först till kvarn som gäller!
Mer information om helgens upplägg, kurserna och priser finns på vår hemsida: http://www.wcj.se/ajw
Varmt välkomna!

Den 25:e januari förvandlas Söder Om Småland återigen till Sweet Lorraine’s, med husbandet SWEET LORRAINE JAZZ BAND. Bord kommer att flyttas undan för att göra plats till dans!
Det bjuds på en hot och tårdrypande blandning av 20-tals jazz.
SWEET LORRAINE JAZZ BAND består av: Paul Bocciolone Strandberg: Altsax och sång / Marcus Nilsson: Klarinett / John Andric: Sologitarr / Dennis Johnsson: Kompgitarr / Mats Rehle: Kontrabas
Jag mötte amerikanerna Jake Sanders [Chicago] och Jared Engel [NYC] under New Yorks renässans av 20- och 30-talsjazz, där de delade scen på stadens många klubbar där publiken brann för historisk jazz. Sanders och Engel spelade gamla sånger med en intensiv närvaro, många som enbart spridits på gamla stenkakor och bandinspelningar och aldrig noterats. Jag blev hänförd av musikernas ömma och detaljerade tolkningar av sångerna som förde mig tillbaka till en tid jag alltid velat besöka.
Det är med glädje som jag äntligen får återse och gästa lite med dessa musiker som numera har sin egen nya duo. De specialiserar sig på sällan framförda versioner av gitarrnummer från jazzens födelse, inspirerade av gitarristerna Nick Lucas och Eddie Lang. Den här spelningen kan börja med en romantisk italiensk vals, sedan följas av en jug-band-blues, och därefter en klassiker av Louis Armstrong and His Hot Fives. De tar en paus från turnén med skivaktuella Naomi & Her Handsome Devils, för att besöka Malmö för första gången.
Välkomna till en dimmig klubb på kajen i förbudstidens New York, en smältdegel där människor möts och får en paus från dagens slit.
/ Mimi Terris
Picknickföreställning. Tag med vad du önskar äta och dricka. Både mat och alkoholhaltig dryck är tillåten att ta med. Endast kaffe säljs ombord.
Medan trattgrammofonen vevas kåserar musikdirektör Erik Ask-Upmark om gamla tiders musikanter, tidsanda och den tidiga musikbranschens vedermödor.
Varmt välkomna till Trattgrammofonsalong i Kulturens gemytliga Borgarsal! Medan trattgrammofonen vevas kåserar musikdirektör Erik Ask-Upmark om gamla tiders musikanter, tidsanda och den tidiga musikbranschens vedermödor. Ni kan bland mycket annat få reda på att jazzmusiken uppfanns exakt kl 01.30 på natten till den 17 november 1887, varför den världsberömda bandledaren Paul Whiteman hatade doften av nyklippt gräs, och inte minst hur en liten skalbagge från norra Malaysia kom att förändra hela musikhistorien. Ta dig en svängom till tonerna av en eldig tango på dansgolvet – eller nöj dig med att lyssna och spisa knastrande stenkakor i all dess nostalgifyllda charm! Och förresten: Har du gamla stenkakor hemma på vinden men ingen apparat att spela dem på? Ta med dem till Trattgrammofonsalongen och låt dem få nytt liv igen!
Biljettpris: Entréavgift till Kulturen.
