Chaka Khan, Janelle Monae and Other North Sea Jazz Delights

Maybe you can tell…

But I’m pysched! I have no tick­ets. Noth­ing. Just a ros­ter of some of my favourite soul, jazz and funk artists right now. I mean, if you remem­ber Rufus and Chaka Khan, you’ll see why the line up at The North Sea Jazz Fes­ti­val is on fire!

In a recent post, I did talk about Prince, but I thought I should just give you a more com­pre­hen­sive list of my favourite bands and singers at the show. It’s going to be amazing!

You know what, I’m going  to stop. Here’s the list!

• Esper­anza Spalding
• Janelle Monae
• BB King
• Natalie Cole
• Larry Gra­ham & Grand Cen­tral Station
• Ruben Blades
• Chaka Khan
• Seal
• Candy Dulfer & Band
• Sar­avah Soul
• Mavis Sta­ples
• James Blake
• Tom Jones
• Raphael Saadiq
• Snoop Dogg
• Bootsy Collins
• Prince (of course!)

And there are loads more! Trust me. Spread over three days, from Fri­day 8th July to Sun­day 10th 2011, if you were to take it all in, I’m pos­i­tively sure you’ll be filled with enough musi­cal love, you’ll be as good as shin­ing like the sun for weeks after.
