JONAS HELLBORG (20:30 - 21:30)
In 1978 the 20 year old Swedish bassist Jonas Hellborg embarked on a venture that was for the time quite unique. Inspired by Keith Jarrett’s solo piano and British bass player Colin Hodgkinson’s inventive use of chords on bass, Hellborg developed his own set of new techniques for the bass guitar.

His adventurous approach led to a set at the Montreux Jazz Fest which in turn led to associations with several of the important Jazz/Fusion players of the day. Michael Brecker, Michael Shrieve, Billy Cobham, Reebop Kwaku Baah and John McLaughlin who hired Hellborg for his reformed Mahavishnu Orchestra.

In 1979 Hellborg released his first Solo Bass recording The Bassic Thing followed in 1982 by Elegant Punk. This record eventually caught the ear of producer Bill Laswell. The two met through drummer Michael Shrieve’s introduction and eventually besides several recording projects opened a recording studio together in Greenpoint New York.

Hellborg spent most of the 90’s and into the 00’s recording and touring with his own groups. These would include players like Ginger Baker, Shawn Lane, Jens Johansson, Anders Johansson, Bernie Worrell, Jeff Sipe, Selvaganesh and many others. The Solo Bass project continued thru the years. The Silent Life was recorded in 1990 and recently remastered and released again.

With 40 years of solo performances under his belt Hellborg has developed a powerful and intriguing voice. It is bass like you’ve never heard it.

IDA NIELSEN & THE FUNKBOTS (22:15 - 23:30)
The badass Danish bass player Ida Nielsen, also dubbed Prince's "Funk Princess", was discovered by Prince in 2010. She was a member of The New Power Generation and rock trio 3rdeyegirl until Prince’s death in 2016. Since then, Ida has made a name for herself as a solo artist and band leader with an energetic mix of jazz, funk, rock and pop. Since the release of her third solo album Turnitup (2016), Ida has toured Europe, Asia, Australia and the US with her own band The Funkbots.

In januari 2019 kwam Ida’s vierde soloalbum TIME 2 STOP WORRYING (bout the weird stuff) uit. Oldschool-funk vermengd met hiphop en Nusoul en een aantal mooie soul-geïnspireerde ballads. Dit is het werk van Ida de funk bassist - met een ingebouwde passie voor experimenten en het zware ritme van de bas.

Her fourth album "TIME 2 STOP WORRYING (bout the weird stuff)" was released in January 2019. The album once again shows Ida’s acoustically diverse repertoire: Oldschool funk mixed with hiphop and Nusoul. Add to this a sprinkle of beautiful soul inspired ballads, sexy and cool tunes reaching beyond the passionate. But make no mistake. This is the work of Ida the funk bass player – with a built-in passion for experiments and the heavy rhythm of the bass.

DJ MAESTRO & BAS VAN LIER (23:30 - 02:00)
You will never hear a deejay spin that embraces such an enormous variety of styles: one quick look into his massive music collection and you'll find a John Coltrane record next to a Cerrone one; a Nina Simone next to a Fela Kuti. Or even better: a Masters at Work next to a Chet Baker. Hear DJ Maestro spin and you'll understand why some people call him a musical roller coaster.

Bas van Lier is inspired by heavy "soul jazz cats" such as Les McCann and Ramsey Lewis. Combine his love for contemporary R&B and his knowledge of traditional jazz heroes and you get a unique sound; powerful, bluesy and at the same time subtle. Van Lier stands out with his catchy melodies and catchy sense of rhythm. This makes him not only appreciated by true jazz connoisseurs, but also by a young audience!
