Aske Jacoby: a blues exploration concert

Aske Jacoby takes to the stage at Riga - Strungesalen in Hvidovre for a concert that treats the blues as a subject to investigate. Rather than a straightforward set, the evening traces how blues grew out of West African music and the experience of enslaved people, and how it later fed into jazz, funk, hip hop, country and bluegrass.

Joining him on stage are Christian Douglas on bass and vocals and Frands Rifbjerg on drums. The show is built as a playful, pseudo-scientific inquiry into what blues is, and the sound moves through delta blues, jazz, funk and big city blues along the way.
