I went to Nils Wogram & Root 70 Jazz Concert in Wisma Kebudayaan Soka Gakkai Malaysia after work today. Organised by the Goethe-Institut Malaysia in cooperation with Soka Gakkai Malaysia and DBKL. It was great fun that this is the first In-The-Hall-Nice-Cool-Jazzy concert that I'd been to.
Smart, nervy, hard-bitten jazz from a quartet of young players led by the remarkable German trombonist Nils Wogram. Wogram comfortably plays like the roller coaster, geniously composed almost all of the pieces performed. Hayden Chisholm, plays the saxaphone so light that’s given a weird lateral spin. Matt Penman on the big bass so very indulge as if he was dancing with his bass and Jochen Rückert on drums, awesomely off-beat!
The stage before it starts. The hall was great, solid as it's all wooden- the flooring, the stage... you could hear the acoustic!
Nils Wogram & Root 70 in action!Their performance has got soul. The songs just sink.. and keep sinking into your heart that you could feel them. I went into imagination listening to them.
"If you listen to Bach's work, a lot of it is similar. It is beautiful music with a desire for depth is always preferable to feverishly inventing something new with every record." Nils Wogram.
*A friend of mine whom I shared the other 2 tickets was trying to find the wisma but they couldn't manage to find it even till the last song finished. then, they gave up. Kinda sad that the roads are changed and it was hard to find. But the semangat was really impressive. At last plan B executed. They went to Jalan Alor for food!
