Jazz from GB – UK Sound Systems – New York, Oslo, Berlin
Jazz from UK Oslo Berlin
Einen Überblick über die Musikszene auf der Insel zu bekommen, nahezu aussichtslos. Nach Wochen und Monaten der Recherche, weiß ich häufig nicht mehr, wer wie meine Wege kreuzte, wo ich zu schnell war im Urteil, wo zu langsam – vieles hört sich nach wenigen Tagen an, als käme es aus dem Selbstbespiegelungskosmos der Siebziger, anderes so, als wäre noch etwas in der Mache, vieles, was von der Insel herübertönt hat Groove, Beat oder Sound – wird Zeit nach GB zu fahren, sich das anzuschauen.
