2014 was a very good and productive year! Travelling to India, founding a new record label, playing at the Jazz Festival Copenhagen are only a few highlights. And it ́s not over yet: this Sunday in Munich will be the last Radio Citizen concert for the season.
Anyway, to say thanks to all fans and friends, we have a gift for you!
This is the recording of the Radio Citizen concert on the 30th of August 2014 at the Jazzfest Brandenburg - a good document where the band is at.
Starting off with an Ethiopian-inspired tune (and a little surprise in the middle), featuring the alltime RC classic The Hop, bowing to Neneh Cherry and The Thing in Calypso and rocking a piece of saturnian acid metal flash jazz, it ends with a Mal Waldron song crossed with lyrics by the godfathers of spoken word, the Last Poets.
A special thanks goes to the Jazzfreunde Brandenburg e.V. who organised this event, to Markus Thon, who invited us, and to Sören Stanchera who was mixing and attentivly recorded us.
Next year will be as exciting as this one: the third full RC album is going to be released in early autumn.
Enjoy the music!
