Vijay Iyer live at the Purcell Room, South Bank with special guest Talvin Singh on tabla. Support from Lars Danielsson & Leszek Możdżer. Catch Vijay Iyer and Lars Danielsson & Leszek Możdżer on Spotify.
Wow! Great show! Vijay Iyer put on a fabulous set despite people walking out after each song… Seriously, WTF!?! Talvin Singh joined Vijay on tabla for the last two tracks. The last of which, a Stevie Wonder cover, was truly exemplary. Such synergy! I was fortunate enough to photograph them during the soundcheck - which was the first time they had ever played together, but you would never have known! I can’t wait to see Vijay return someday with a trio or quartet. He really shines when playing with others. That’s not to say that his solo work is anything to sneeze at. On the contrary, it was beyond impressive!
Support came from a dynamic, expressive duo: Leszek Możdżer (Pole) & Lars Danielsson (Swede). Fantastic stuff. They earned the encore! Lars must be one of the most expressive double bassists I’ve ever seen. They had a lot of fun feeding off each other. Tight. Możdżer appears to be somewhat of a celebrity - signing autographs with Polish expats after the show…

Oorutaichi - the eclectic solo Japanese musician - live at Kings Place as part of the London International Festival of Exploratory Music (LIFEM09) this evening…
This eclectic solo Japanese musician put on a great little set this evening. I’ve been to Kings Place twice now, and it’s not the most atmospheric of venues in which to perform - especially considering there is really no sort of warm-up support act(s), drink, etc… Oorutaichi’s music perhaps most closely resembles ‘The Milk of Human Kindness’ Caribou, with more African or perhaps Dancehall beats behind it. And a little more eclectic and out there. Really fun stuff. Looking forward to hearing his album…

ApSci and Juice Aleem live at the Scala. Support for Anti-Pop Consortium
ApSci from NYC had an interesting setup. The duo took a while to setup and get things just right. But once they got started they had a fresh style, and a perfectly synchronised video setup. Things were running late and they had to cut their set short though. Enjoyable stuff. Will definitely check out their album now.
Juice Aleem started off the set. I wasn’t too impressed - well I walked out after 2 tracks to be honest. It’s a hard job being a support act I guess. Trying to enthuse a crowd that’s wanting to see someone else. But the sound wasn’t up to scratch either, just a bit all over the place…
I actually went to another gig before all this: Nive Nielsen at Kings Place. Nive is an Eskimo (Inuit) singer songwriter from Greenland!

The ineffable Anti-Pop Consortium live at the Scala last night. Completely unedited shots straight from the camera… Booya! This show was flawless. Don’t really know what to say about it. Top quality. They had the energy of a group passionate about their craft. And what a craft! Their lyricism is unsurpassed in both delivery and depth… They killed it! The crowd loved it.

Hanne Hukkelberg live at The Borderline, London. Taking pictures at the Borderline that night was especially psychologically challenging for me as I had been chatting to (and agreeing with) a fan about how annoying and intrusive photographers can be both visually and sonically… P.S. The blonde Huntsville guitarist doppleganger is no doppleganger, he’s the real thing!
