ABOUT
For many, his concert at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2000 was one of the best shows ever seen in the Netherlands. On that sensational evening D’Angelo showed he is an outstanding bandleader as well as a charismatic multi-instrumentalist. He whipped his horn section - all of whom are jazz musicians - into a frenzy and each one gave the performance of their life. Afterwards, things fell frightening silent for him for quite a while as a result of artistic questioning and personal problems. But now, fifteen years on, D’Angelo is literally back and in top form. His new album Black Messiah (2015) has been dubbed a masterpiece and the show that the king of ‘groove, croon and swoon’ brought to Amsterdam earlier this year was a sensual, romping, sometimes raunchy and completely unforgettable soul spectacle. A unique opportunity to see this reborn master of soul hit the heights once again.

D'Angelo is the closest thing we have to Prince since his passing. D'Angelo is a musical treasure.😍🎧🎵

[@andrenaetrammell2711]

I can understand that statement actually late 90s! Both play several instruments and both carved out their niche in funk. HOWEVER (LOL!) Today I would say if Prince & Morris lacked .002% ego? Then they would be Bruno & Pak today! But thats IMO. D'Angeleo held it down IMO- till Bruno the dancing sultry singer whose Buddy came off the drums to go front man. But it Aint like you wrong!

Right, I got all excited thinking he did a recent performance and was about to go look up tour dates, then I saw it was from 2015. I’m happy to watch the performance, but sad that I will not see him in person performing…it’s like his live performance at the Jazz Cafe in London 1995 when he first came out. Man, what I would have given to have been there. The audio is on Amazon Music. It might be on Apple Music as well…
