The
third edition of the Blue Note Festival in Ghent, Belgium
was a blast.
Stellar
tear-inducing concerts by Nicola Conte and Meshell Ndegeocello's
Spirit Music Sextet -concerts that reaffirmed our love
for and hope in jazz. Soothing, spiritual and attention-grabbing
performances by The Troublemakers, Zap Mama, Angie Stone
and Mäaks Spirit. A by-the-book partyfunk Friday
night by grand old man George Clinton and his Parliament/Funkadelic
crew.
A
wonderfully quaint Blue Note Festival that just felt
like home -with the superb sound of our living room
stereos transferred into a top quality concert tent.
All in a city buzzing from the annual Gentse Feesten,
with an energy to rival the New Orleans Mardi
Gras or the Rio Carnival. Yes, the Blue
Note Festival in Ghent was truly something special.
The
OnTheFlip crew were there to sample the delights and
got more than we could ever expect. Check out our full
coverage of the All that jazz? weekender at the Blue
Note Festival, Ghent 2004.
