Event: Murs 3:16 w/ Guerilla Union | Paid Dues Festival

Now we are not saying that we don't appreciate our American artists of choice when they find themselfs to the UK, but are having difficulty dealing with the extortionate price tag compared to what our state side cousins pay. The above is a prime example. $54... And thats it!

$54! And that includes parking and donating money to charity. Now unless you happen to be in San Bernardino in April, then there is the cost of the flight to add on top of that. So who does the responsibility with on this side of the river; the artist, promoter or us for accepting and paying money to see the artist we love. "When Love is involved, logic goes out the window..." - Dubb'l yoo T

News: Secret Wars | Euro League

After 3 and a half years of single battle series locally in over 20 countries, we have decided to try something different and potentially more exciting for 2010... Introducing the Secret Wars EURO LEAGUE!

"When we started Secret Wars 3 years ago, it was influenced heavily by various things from the Marvel comic, to Warriors and Fight Club. After experiencing the team battles around the World and seeing the benefits of this compared to the singles battles, we decided on trying it as a complete 6-8 month series!"

"I have noticed the crowds are more vocal and patriotic towards team battles - there seems to be more at stake and I love watching the artists free-styling alongside each other.... You never know what will come out the other end!" Terry Guy (Founder of Monorex and Secret Wars)

The rules are the same but the structure of the competition and dynamics of the battle are slightly different - check the Secret Wars Euro League site for full/entry details.

Event: Courtney Pine | Transition in Tradition

Saturday, 6 March 2010
Union Chapel Islington, London
Tickets | 25.00

Bursting with Pine's typically memorable themes and exuberant soloing' Jazzwise Saxophonist Courtney Pine, who was awarded a C.B.E for services to music in the 2009 New Year Honours is back touring with his critically acclaimed Transition in Tradition album set.

Courtney’s 12th album and his debut release on his own label Destin-e World, not only pays tribute to the first great saxophone star Sidney Bechet, but also marks several new forays into sound for the groundbreaking Jazz Warrior.

Reviewed as some of his best work to date, the music was composed and evolved through a series of intimate shows in the UK during 2007 before Pine brought his band into the studio to document and capture the energy that only a live audience can give – this will be the first extensive tour of the finished material.

Pulling together a heavyweight musical line-up that draws influences from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe, the set is as deep as the legacy of jazz, as it is reflective of their collective musical heritage.

A change in instrumentation sees Pine's Bass Clarinet take centre stage on many occasions, alongside Harmonium, Castanets and Mandolin and the resulting sound is like no other Courtney Pine record. "Of course I pay respect to the great Bechet by playing a silver soprano saxophone like his, but there are other flavours like my Alto Flute playing on The Tale Of Joe Harriott and of course that Caribbean groove". It's that very groove that gives this album another of it's unique elements, as forays into New Orleans 2nd line beats merge into an old school swing beat, a medium tempo swing smoothly flows into a reggae one drop beat, there is a feeling of continuing movement as each track passes from one place to another. "I want to show in these compositions how our journey as a culture is constantly in transition, things change in one tune musically just as we do in real life”.

Support on the night comes from Jazzwise cover star OMAR PUENTE whose new album is also released on Destin-E Records.
