Dune Sessions
Jazz collective thriving on lightly controlled chaos, originated in the dune sand
Chaos is a breeding ground, and sometimes Vlieland can be very quiet indeed. That is why twelve talented jazz musicians made the crossing last June for a five-day creative camp: Dune Sessions. Five days of free improvisation in the dune grass, collaborating or conflicting, until something entirely new emerged. Such a wealth of styles (hip-hop, Hendrix, neo-soul, spoken word, Sudanese folk) and approaches (impulsive, thoughtful, heaven-storming, hit-sensitive) could only explode.
The makers camp – organized by Into The Great Wide Open, Dune Sessions, PAARD, and Super-Sonic Jazz – is part of a longer talent development program by Super-Sonic Jazz. The first (provisional) result will be heard at Into The Great Wide Open, after which the twelve virtuosos will spread their wings further under the Super-Sonic Jazz flag. Further stops: an album release, a performance at the Super-Sonic Jazz festival, and a documentary.
