Jazz world dissapointed

[dj267]

Spearhead definitely self-confirmed, you're right.

I'm so scared they're not coming.........

If you are in a mellow mood on the Saturday, during the day, check out Rokia Troare. She is from Mali, and she has the voice of an angel.

Does seem a bit of a light line-up compared to previous years, bit worrying as it was always useful to just hover near the Brothers Bar and see what was on next, but there seems less stuff I'm interested in this time.

Having said that thrilled to see Lonnie Liston Smith, Baaba Maal and Steel Pulse on there. Will try to catch Erci Truffaz too. LLS will trump anything else on site for me (now going off to work out the clashes!)

Anyone any idea what Playing for Change is gonna be? Their website http://www.playingforchange.com/ says it's a music related charity. I wonder who is playing for them. Could be some good guests..

Musicians listed here.

Bono is one one of them

Jazzworld looks a little underbooked atm - should be more acts announced I think

De La Soul and then Q Tip.

Looks awesome imo.

[Vacant0]

But surely there will be more than six acts on the Jazz World during the entireity of Friday...? And do we really think that Q-Tip is Headline material...? Therefore......... isn't it possible that Spearhead are still to be announced.....?

[denwyn]

Have had another look at the Jazz World, and still find it difficult to get excited about, only one definate for me to try and see so far are Jamie Cullam,Stephnie Mcay and Linda Lewis. Not into hip hop stuff like Q tips ect,not my sort of Jazz. Can't please everyone i know, but a wonder if they are really bothered about the Jazz world stage anymore...looks like they are not to me. Good job the rest of the stages are much stronger this year.

[The Nal]

Hot 8 Brass Band and Steel Pulse on Friday.

[scorp]

just think its a shame dont have as good quality acts as they had last year....so far...

last year i seen eddy grant, manu chao, buddy guy, solomon burke...proper legends

still bit perturbed why rolf is on jazz, he can pack out the pyramid

[Wanderlei]

Yeah, i'm a little underwhelmed by the Jazz Stage too i.e. the absence of BB King :-( But there were a lot of nice surprises in there too.

[abu hamster]

Talvin Singh has confirmed on his myspace! Now that would be sweet.

[youcancallmeal]

According to Q Rolf Harris is headlining Jazz World on Saturday! And apparently Jamie is appearing that day....both times at Jazzworld! Hmmmmmmmmm

[The Nal]

So no Blues this year then?

To quote Buddy Guy "You're damn right I got the blues".

he confirmed on his myspace that he's playing with Erik Trufaz .... it was there in big letters, yet no one seemed to read it.

[eFestivals]

Will add these to a must see...on what is a very poor Jazz World Lineup

I won't be missing steel pulse either.

But it's pretty obvious that the line-up for Jazzworld isn't complete ... there's more to come for there i'm sure.

It might be that Tinariwen are part of Playing for Change I guess, but I doubt that Rolf is - so those two, who both confirmed themselves as playing there, are bound to be playing. Plus some more I reckon.
