Description
Andrew PeP-C Burrows
Singer, Song writer, Musician, dancer, entertainer.My home town is Newcastle N.S.W full of beautiful beaches and awesome people!I started singing and dancing at an early age, but didn’t start pumping it until i was a young teenage.I first started 14yrs ago in the “palais youth venue” breakdancing as a young boy, there i met a guy named DeeJay Mathmatics who taught me the ways of Hip Hop starting with the awesome art of “Breaking”. I then moved on to Mc’ing and Dj’ing etc, under his amazing knowledge and teachings we both grew into different styles and grew as performers…. I started to explore my own flavours and started to grow into who i am. Hip Hop based with a mix of electro, dance, soul, rnb, funk and latin influences. I performed over seas in Mexico for a year dancing and entertaining. What an amazing learning experience, it really helped me appreciate what i have down under!”to be infectious with your energy, for the good or for the bad” Andrew Pep-C Burrows. 2013 I’m proud to be an Australian, my music I love and live. I try and stay positive with my fresh feelings and I try to capture my energy in the hope to infect as many people on this earth as i can! WOOOP WOOOOP

Release: 2013-03-25
Genre: Jazz
Label: Jazzman
Format(s): CD/DIGI/LP
Cat #: JMANCD057

 

It’s well known that throughout the 20th century, fed up with poor working conditions and racism in their home country, many American jazz musicians chose to leave the US in order to live and work in Europe. What’s less well known is how their music developed and evolved during their time on the continent, and how the experience of being a musician in Europe was to shape their respective lives.

 

Over the years countless jazz concerts, festivals and recordings featuring American jazz musicians have taken place all over Europe, yet it’s remarkable how few of these musical artifacts have been evaluated by the jazz community. We seek to assess the European experiences of the American jazzmen, with a specific focus on the progressive sounds of modal jazz and the avant garde. We examine the recordings made by those who crossed the Atlantic just to take in a short tour, as well as those who made more frequent trips, and of course those for whom Europe ultimately became their permanent place of residence.

Radical new jazz sounds created as renowned ex-pat American jazzmen mingled with the creme de la creme of their European counterparts. Early developments in world music inspired by trans-global cultural excursions to Asia, Africa and beyond. Exchanges of ideas and a cultural meeting of minds as revolutionary jazz festivals took place behind the Iron Curtain. Advances in rhythm and sound where modal jazz and the prophetic music of John Coltrane merged with European folk traditions. This is Spiritual Jazz – as played by Americans in Europe.
