Photo by Robby Wahyudi Onggo How to make a tour in Indonesia By Empat Lima As we found out, there’s no really great way of planning a neat little tour itinerary of Indonesia. Why? Mainly because Indonesia flies by the seat of its pants, and has the resourcefulness and initiative to make things happen out of thin air and within no time at all. No one can tell you whether they can book in a particular date in three months’ time (except in Jakarta, where people are more stressed out and organised), because who the hell knows what is going to happen in the next hour, let alone that far down the track? 4 That said, through various random avenues (friends who knew someone, mainly) Empat Lima managed to piece together a bunch of dates for a two-week tour across the island of Java. Six cities, four train rides and two flights. Pretty stoked. We chose to do an Indonesian tour not only because it’s damn cheap, but because of the band’s connection to our Indonesian girl-band heroes from the sixties, Dara Puspita. These girls were not only pioneers for females during an oppressive era in Indonesian history but were also the first Indonesian group ever to tour Europe and experience global recognition (Empat Lima means 4-5; our band is named after a Dara Puspita song about the 1945 battle of independence). women were involved with groups - weekly drawing “One young scruffy-looking punk The first gig we played in Jakarta was the groups, online girl punk groups, crafters’ groups. wildest.

  • Eddie Who? - Eddie Harris Amerikansk Tenorsaxofonist, Født 20.10.1934 I Chicago, IL, D
    Eddie Who? - Eddie Harris Amerikansk tenorsaxofonist, født 20.10.1934 i Chicago, IL, d. 5.11.1996 Sanger og pianist som barn i baptistkirker og spillede senere vibrafon og tenorsax. Debuterede som pianist med Gene Ammons før universitetsstudier i musik. Spillede med bl.a. Cedar Walton i 7. Army Symphony Orchestra. Fik i 1961 et stort hit og jazzens første guldplade med filmmelodien "Exodus", hvad der i de følgende år gav ham visse problemer med accept i jazzmiljøet. Udsendte 1965 The in Sound med bl.a. hans egen komposition Freedom Jazz Dance, som siden er indgået i jazzens standardrepertoire. Spillede fra 1966 elektrificeret saxofon og hybrider af sax og basun. Flirtede med rock på Eddie Harris In the UK (Atlantic 1969). Spillede 1969 på Montreux festivalen med Les McCann (Swiss Movement, Atlantic) og skrev 1969-71 musik til Bill Cosbys tv-shows. Spillede i 80'erne med bl.a. Tete Montoliu og Bo Stief (Steps Up, SteepleChase, 1981) og igen med Les McCann. Som sideman med bl.a. Jimmy Smith, Horace Silver, Horace Parlan og John Scofield (Hand Jive, Blue Note, 1993). Optrådte trods sygdom, så sent som maj 1996. Indspillede et stort antal plader for mange selskaber, fra 80'erne mest europæiske. Med udgangspunkt i bopmusikken udviklede Harris sine eksperimenter til en meget personlig stil med umiddelbart genkendelig, egenartet vokaliserende tone, fra 70'erne krydret med (ofte lange), humoristisk filosofisk/satiriske enetaler.
