Jazz adjacent? The Haagse blues-roots trio Jimding is venturing into new territory on Sunday afternoon, December 28 with a performance in intimate confines of JAZZ, Coffe and Wines on the Noordeinde in Den Haag.
Jimding has an extensive repertoire of originals inspired by blues, rock and rhythm, 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. They’ll be testing the waters with two “jazz adjacent” sets from 15:30 till 17:30.
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.
