Jah Wobble & His Orchestra – Japanese Dub
November 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
“Jah Wobble is one of the great English originals. He may have started out as the backbone of the early Public Image Ltd, but he has gone on to fuse dub with jazz-rock, English folk and (most recently) far eastern themes… He’s in a class of his own”
Robin Denselow, The Guardian
Great British world-beat and global innovator, poet, singer, composer and all round maverick, Jah Wobble stages a not-to-be-missed one off music gig on his home turf. 30 years of innovation leads to a double hit.
Japanese Dub is an electronic acoustic adventure scrapping the ancient sounds of Japan against cutting edge electronica – a true fusion of East and West sensibilities that proves once again Jah’s creative fire.
Followed by a journey into the mind of Miles Davis and a jazz band including George King (Keyboards), Sean Corby (Trumpet), Clive Ball (Flute), Chris Cookson (Trumpet), Marc-Layton-Bennett (Drums), Nevill Murray (Percussion) and Chris Cookson (Guitar).
What the critics said:
“One of world music’s most intelligently eclectic mavericks”
Sue Steward, Songlines
“All credit to Wobble for his continual investigations into music from other cultures”
Jake Kennedy, Record Collector
“Jah Wobble [is] one of the essential musicians in the world music scene”
