Jambouree presents 'The Jampot II' feat. Junky Fam + special guests
'The Jampot' returns for a very special Festival Fringe edition at La Belle Angele, following on from its first show back in February 2017.
For 'The Jampot II', Jambouree bring you their specially curated Edinburgh Funk Family as they are joined on-stage by some of Edinburgh's finest funk and jazz musicians. Soon to be revealed one by one, our SPECIAL GUESTS span the instrumental spectrum: including flute, trombone, guitar, vocals and more. Prepare for a night of epic funk proportions and hear us as you have never done before!
Support comes from the brilliant Junky Fam, a new Edinburgh based progressive funk trio with some blistering grooves up their sleeves.
JUNKY FAM:
"Wow, that funk just ate my face!"
"Ouch, that funk is manipulative!"
Danger Funk Trio operating out of Edinburgh with a very very fresh take on what it means to be funky and musical, featuring Callum Grewar (guitar), Norman Villeroux (bass) and Tommy Alexander (Drums). Dance, listen, feel.
JAMBOUREE (+ special guests):
One of the most in-demand jazz-funk groups in the Central Belt, Jambouree are the youngest component of Edinburgh’s growing jazz & funk scene; featuring Matt Harrold (trumpet), Callum Mason (sax), Joe Nichols (keys, harmonica), Mischa Stevens (bass) and Alex Palmer (drums).
Jambouree create their own energetic and devilishly danceable kind of 'jazz fusion', crossing the tracks from hard funk to modern jazz, hip hop and world infused music whilst combining rhythmic dynamism with strong improvisation and melodic interplay.
Among festival appearances at BBC at The Edinburgh Festivals, Edinburgh & Aberdeen Jazz Festivals and Kelburn Garden Party, they have collaborated with members of Grammy-award winning Snarky Puppy at La Belle Angele: including Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles and Mark Lettieri with The Funky Knuckles, and also American guitarist Charlie Hunter.
'Jambouree have the crowd mesmerized by their musical ability... a formidable force' (The Skinny)
'Very, very groovy' (Stephen Duffy, Jazz House on BBC Radio Scotland)
