Joseph Bowie meets the Saskia Laroo Band
The 'Opening Night' of the internationally renowned Amsterdam Dance Event on October 15 features a unique conjoined act in Paradiso of funk legend Joseph Bowie with The Saskia Laroo Band. The fact that the Amsterdam Dance Event is indeed a DJ-centered event makes this concert especially noteworthy. The renowned New York trombonist Joseph Bowie made his mark as Mr. Defunkt and scored notable hits in the seventies. Bowie's music, which infuses jazz, funk, fusion and punk, is a model for the DJ era. Thus, his appearance at the Buma-Stemra-organized Amsterdam Dance Event, is therefore more than appropriate
