The Haagse blues-roots trio Jimding returns to the intimate confines of JAZZ, Coffee and Wines for another “jazz adjacent” session on Sunday afternoon, July 12. We’ll be featuring guest artist Konstantin Iliev on tenor sax and clarinet. Jimding has an extensive repertoire of originals inspired by blues, rock ’n’ roll, rhythm and blues, country and even Latin icons ranging from Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson to the Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, the Buena Vista Social Club and Tom Waits, among many others. But not to the exclusion of jazz giants like Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Mose Allison, Duke Ellington and on and on and on.
Jimding brings together three old souls who’ve paid their dues — blues growler Jim Wake on lead vocals, guitar and blues harp, with Nico Hart on bass, and John den Exter on percussion. In an extensive repertoire of originals that somehow seem familiar, Jimding ponders love and loss, trial and error, betrayal and abandonment, the sublime and the ridiculous, and good times and bad, with a mix of irony, exasperation, and an appreciation for the absurdities of life.
