Amp fiddler is awesome. Almost no one in Jakarta had heard of him before the java jazz festival, but this guy drew an ever growing crowd to dance and sing along to his jazzy funk, urban soul tunes, not to mention the screams of adoration that erupted as he punched his keyboard passionately.
A number of performers even some bigger and more popular names at the festival on Friday did not get a call for encore. But this Detroit born musician did. And it was a heartfelt encore.“I’m a soul singer. What I bring is my soul. I give my soul to the audience”, he said in preshow interview on the first day of the jazz festival.
Well this might sound a little melodramatic, but he proved it during his one and a half hours show at the Jakarta Convention Center.
Critical reviews of his album could not help but hear the sound of 1970’s funk group Sly and the family stone in fiddler’s music.
In fact fiddler said recently he was still listening t Sly and the Family stone in addition to a friend of mine “Van Hunt”
However this album his not available in Jakarta stores. So if you are a real soul lover tell your friends who are traveling abroad to pick up a fiddler CD for you.
