Featured artists
Angel – Suite For Ma Dukes Orchestra feat Dwele
Suite For Ma Dukes is the second installment of Timeless, a four-part series honoring the legacy of renowned composers. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and his 40 piece orchestra roused the audience to its feet during the evening with his re-creation of J Dilla’s best known works.
Surprise guests took their place upon the stage throughout the night, including Common, Talib Kweli, Posdnous from De la Soul, Bilal, Amp Fiddler, Dwele and many more to pay tribute, not only to Dilla’s musical influence left upon the world, but his mother, Ma Dukes. Small in stature, Ma Dukes is a true inspiration, a towering beacon of spirit, love and music.
“The concert is a celebration of J Dilla’s life, what he loved and what inspired him. It is a show of support, appreciation and love for his incredible mother Maureen Yancey, whom I recently had the sincere pleasure of meeting and sitting down with. It is very exciting for everyone, there is a real crisp freshness pervading everything on all levels. This is celebrating the infinite possibilities always before us.” – Miguel Atwood-Ferguson

What’s Nu
In early 2006 two leading Dutch representatives, Monsieur Dubois and State Of Monc, initiated a new platform to establish, enpower and expand the scene they are both part of: Nu-Jazz. In the process, two other groups joined in: Flowriders and Jazzinvaders.
By founding The Dutch Nu Jazz Movement the bands involved like to acknowledge this growing development in jazz music, point out its relevance and create an organization that brings Dutch Nu Jazz to a larger public in and outside The Netherlands.
The compilation ‘Whats Nu’ is released on 24 March
