Sat 3rd May, Dublin Tivoli Theatre Many said this guy is suited to a sitdowm venue and indeed, my girlfriend Emma, who caught NPM last year, witnessed his smooth jazz from the comfort of Vicar St., a venue not unlike a scene from a Scorcesse gangster movie with the patrons all sitting comfortably at their candle-lit, tableclothed tables. At that show the crowd acknowledged the man and his bands skills with quiet reverence and tumultuous aplause. Not this on Saturday. Okay, we walked in and the crowd were an older set than is usual at this venue, known as it is for banging techno. The stage was not set up with a single pulpit for some DJ but had an aray of electronics and a few mic stands.. definitely no nomad DJ here - not counting the warmup guy, spinning a few records at the back... totally unheeded by the snazzy crowd. That crowd had a moment of breathless matrix-style silence when Nils and his band appeared. The man himself with his longstaying trumpet, DJ Strangefruit on the decks, a live drummer, an "electronics" guy and a big dude using a sample live. They then proceeded to give the increasingly "sshhhhhhh"ed venue a taste of real, groovey, futuremusic. Was it jazz or was it dance? Should we swing to this or hold our breath? So many people just stood there soaking up the sad, poignant trumpet notes while so many others danced their socks off to the jungle breaks, the breakbeat rythmns, the drum and bass phatness of it all. Even the sample guy was sweating never mind the pounding drummer. It was sheer magic and all the while Nils face was blended perfectly with liquid visuals: infra-red motifs of the band playing live and neon-hued siluettes of the audience capured on the screen behind. Dubblin asked for 2 encores and we got em from opur humbnle Norwegian guiest.. the first a techno-inspired layered jazz track, thesecond a soft, trumpet only wind-down melencholic ghost of a track. Nils will be back here again and so will we all. SOLID! |
