DASH! & guests

Fri 22 December 2017

Boogie is the new project by free funk band DASH!, which will be performed alongside the suite DASH! Off, featuring amazing special guests. ‘Explosive mix music’ (Trouw).

 

The three musicians in DASH! enjoy challenges. The Amsterdam-based free funk group, with a core line-up of sax, bass and drums, has previously shared the stage with dancers, poets and actors. Now they will join forces with four amazing Dutch improvisers. Joshua Samson, Jasper Stadhouders, Michael Moore and Joost Buis can be heard on the most recent album DASH! Off, of which the eponymous suite will be performed live.

Boogie is the new project by DASH! Inspired by Jon Spencer, Chris Whitley, James ‘Blood’ Ulmer, Roland Kirk and Sonny Sharrock the trio is developing a brand new repertory, which will be released on CD in 2018.

‘It all permeates the music of DASH!: Stravinsky’s rhythmic depth, the directness of pop, the swing and improvisation of jazz and lightning fast, tightly played melodies in uneven meters. Explosive mix music!’ (Trouw).
