A musical Q&#38;A between jazz and beyond and classical music leading to two concerts at two locations in one night.</p> <p><strong>ZWERM, MR. <span class="caps">PROBE</span> &#38; <span class="caps">GREGORY FRATEUR </span>- POPCORN <em>(Handelsbeurs)</em></strong><br />Every musician has a secret preference for a song that he has always wanted to play, but never dared. But electric guitar quartet Zwerm comes out of the closet together with experimental duo Mr Probe and Gregory Frateur, the phenomenal lead singer of Dez Mona.</p> <p>Peter Vermeersch (Flat Earth Society) and others have arranged six cherished pop songs especially for this seven-piece outfit. Just as many composers have written a new piece inspired by the chosen songs. Composers such as Serge Verstockt and Yannis Kyriakides get to work with music by Björk, Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix.</p> <p><strong>DEZ <span class="caps">MONA</span> &#38; <span class="caps">BOX </span>- SAGA <em>(Theaterzaal)</em></strong><br />Pop group Dez Mona has long had a thing for baroque music. Back in 2009, Dez Mona had a short but productive encounter with a baroque harp and a theorbo, a string instrument related to the lute. This was a huge success and tickled their interest in the genre.</p> <p>Baroque music has a kind of elegance, drama and catchiness to it, which fits perfectly with Dez Mona’s musical universe. At the same time, this ‘old’ sound provides a new dynamic for the songs.

B could stand for “ballet”, V for “variation” and Y for “yawn”. The performers interpret the letters as sheet music. The performance becomes <strong>a mix of styles and media</strong>: ballet, b-boying, body language, breakbeat, folk music, field tapes, the lighting at a rock show or on a motorway.

Op 25 oktober komt Sizzla, één van de meest gevierde Jamaicaanse reggae-artiesten terug naar ons Belgenlandje! Het was alweer van 2009 geleden dat deze reggae-grootheid bij ons op de planken stond: in de Ancienne Belgique gaf hij toen een felgesmaakt en drukbijgewoond concert. Reden genoeg voor Democrazy om deze smaakmaker opnieuw uit te nodigen.</p> <p>Sizzla was al enkele jaren actief bij Caveman Hi-Fi toen hij in de jaren &#8216;90 Bobby &#8220;Digital&#8221; Dixon leerde kennen. Het was het begin van een van de meest productieve samenwerkingen in het genre. In 1997 en 1998 kreeg hij de <span class="caps">MOBO</span>-award voor beste reggae-artiest, en begon hij zijn albums uit te brengen op legendarische labels zoals VP-records en Greensleeves. Ondertussen heeft hij meer dan 40 (neen, dit is geen tikfout) studio albums op zijn naam die zowat het hele spectrum van de Jamaicaanse muziek omvatten: van roots naar dancehall en ragga. Zijn laatste dateert van 2010 en heet Crucial Times. Recensenten noemen het een eclectisch retrospectief op zijn uitgebreide carrière, wij noemen het gewoon een steengoeie reggae-plaat, zoals we die gewoon zijn van Sizzla.</p> <p>De man achter classics zoals &#8216;Black Woman &#38; Child&#8217;, &#8216;Solid as a Rock&#8217; en &#8216;Babylon Cowboy&#8217; staat na 15 jaar nog steeds aan de top, kom zelf ontdekken waarom&#8230;</p> tag:vooruit.be,2011-09-27T17:25:58+02:00:/en/event/2836 2011-09-27T17:25:58+02:00 2011-09-27T17:25:58+02:00 <p>2 days of dark pleasure, the most amazing line-up ever !<br />8 great bands a day + after-party with some famous dj’s</p> <p><a href="http://tickets.vooruit.be/tickets/7780834/8320603/">2 <span class="caps">DAY TICKET</span>: € 61,75</a></p> <p><strong>EARLY <span class="caps">BIRD ACTIE</span></strong><br /><span class="caps">BUY YOUR 2 DAY TICKET</span> online via <a href="http://www.new-wave-classix.be/tickets">www.new-wave-classix.be/tickets</a> &#8211; Combi-ticket <span class="caps">ONLY 55</span> euro until 15 <span class="caps">DECEMBER </span>!!<br />This is a perfect X-Mas/NewYear gift for your (girl)friend(s)</p> <p><span class="caps">DAY 1 </span>- FRI 06.04 &#8211; € 31,75</p> <p>• Project pitchfork<br />• Clan of xymox<br />• Chameleons vox<br />• Cassandra complex<br />• The beauty of gemina<br />• Department S<br />• Schmutz<br />• Erato</p> <p><span class="caps">DAY 2 </span>- SAT 07.04 &#8211; € 36,75</p> <p>• <span class="caps">DAF</span><br />• Covenant<br />• The Neon Judgement<br />• Sigue sigue sputnik<br />• Crash course in science<br />• Absolute body control<br />• Radical G<br />• Juggernauts</p> tag:vooruit.be,2011-11-21T14:41:18+01:00:/en/event/3009 2011-11-21T14:41:18+01:00 2011-11-21T14:41:18+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-01-17T14:17:28+01:00:/en/event/3058 2012-01-17T14:17:28+01:00 2012-01-17T14:17:28+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-08T12:24:10+01:00:/en/event/3081 2012-02-08T12:24:10+01:00 2012-02-08T12:24:10+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-07T14:41:49+01:00:/en/event/3072 2012-02-07T14:41:49+01:00 2012-02-07T14:41:49+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-08T12:37:34+01:00:/en/event/3082 2012-02-08T12:37:34+01:00 2012-02-08T12:37:34+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-07T14:42:21+01:00:/en/event/3073 2012-02-07T14:42:21+01:00 2012-02-07T14:42:21+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-07T14:43:24+01:00:/en/event/3074 2012-02-07T14:43:24+01:00 2012-02-07T14:43:24+01:00 <p><strong>An exotic selection of sounds brought together in lyrical arrangements</strong></p> <p>Just like Anouar Brahem, Rabih Abou-Khalil is considered a brilliant player of the oud, an Arabic type of lute. Moors Magazine wrote: “He has completely detached the instrument from its Arabic background by performing with several jazz greats and experimenting.” He last performed at Vooruit in 2007, but he has not exactly been sitting still since. He put Portuguese poems to music, thereby creating his own type of fado, released a compilation spanning the last 15 years of his career and ‘Troubles in Jersusalem’, an album with a remarkable lineup consisting of oud, tuba, drums and strings. Rabih Abou-Khalil moves his audience with a mix of eastern and western sounds, brought together in clever and elegant arrangements.</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-01-19T16:47:48+01:00:/en/event/2791 2012-01-19T16:47:48+01:00 2012-01-19T16:47:48+01:00 <p>Henk Hofstede, Rob Kloet and Robert Jan Stips treat you to the best of the Nits, old and new.</p> tag:vooruit.be,2011-12-01T14:47:55+01:00:/en/event/3015 2011-12-01T14:47:55+01:00 2011-12-01T14:47:55+01:00 <p>Berlin producer and multi-instrumentalist Sacha Ring, a.ka.

She was the opening act for Simply Red and Jools Holland in the Sportpaleis and her debut album proves that she’s got a lot more up her sleeve. Zinger is a young band that won the Flemish talent competition De Beloften with their trademark cheerful pop.</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-01-31T14:45:07+01:00:/en/event/3029 2012-01-31T14:45:07+01:00 2012-01-31T14:45:07+01:00 <p>coming soon</p> tag:vooruit.be,2011-07-01T17:08:39+02:00:/en/event/2847 2011-07-01T17:08:39+02:00 2011-07-01T17:08:39+02:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-06T12:31:47+01:00:/en/event/3078 2012-02-06T12:31:47+01:00 2012-02-06T12:31:47+01:00 <p>Saxophone player Toine Thys – brother of bass player Nicolas Thys – and his trio always give incredibly energetic and intense concerts. As an old-fashioned Hammond B3 organ trio, Thys and organist Arno Krijger and drummer Joost van Schaik perform unique versions of well-known standards completed with some of their own compositions.</p> <p>Arno Krijger literally plays his Hammond organ with his hands and feet. Inevitably, this has earned him comparisons to renowned organists such as Larry Young and Jimmy Smith. The grandiose sound of the Hammond organ blends perfectly with the elegant improvisations of Toine Thys’s tenor saxophone and bass clarinet. It’s crystal clear that these two musicians understand each other. Joost van Schaik, who plays the drums with Philip Cathérine, Bert Joris and Toots Thielemans, does not hesitate to intervene and stir things up. In late 2010, the trio released their debut album ‘The End of Certainty’, which received rave reviews in Belgium and abroad.</p> tag:vooruit.be,2011-07-01T21:04:46+02:00:/en/event/2792 2011-07-01T21:04:46+02:00 2011-07-01T21:04:46+02:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-01-26T14:12:35+01:00:/en/event/3069 2012-01-26T14:12:35+01:00 2012-01-26T14:12:35+01:00 <p>coming</p> tag:vooruit.be,2012-02-08T16:10:03+01:00:/en/event/3060 2012-02-08T16:10:03+01:00 2012-02-08T16:10:03+01:00 <p>Killing Joke is terug! In de jaren &#8216;80 waren ze al een van dé bands die het geluid van de postpunk bepaalden met o.a. hun hits &#8216;Love Like Blood&#8217; en &#8216;Eighties&#8217; (waar Nirvana trouwens goed naar geluisterd zou hebben bij het schrijven van &#8216;Come as you are&#8217;).</p> <p>In begin jaren &#8216;90 hield zanger Jaz Coleman het voor bekeken.

Her work has been performed by the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Vancouver Chinese Instrumental Music Society. Don’t expect a sweet cocktail of jazz or nursery rhymes from her latest project, ‘Q’ though. ‘Q’ can be situated on a crossroads of genres and has been described as ‘chamber jazz’.</p> <p>“I’m interested in jazz, modern composition and free improvisation” says Miller.
