Wax Poetic

02.07.2004

Live at Auditorium Stravinski

Since their early days seven years ago, Wax Poetics have been regarded as THE Hip Hop electro band with whom the singer Norah Jones made her debut. Its creator, leader and saxophonist Ilhan Ersahin, left his native Sweden for New York in 1990. Later, he opened a club in Manhattan _ Nublu. Less of a group than a continuous jam session with some of the world's best musicians and poets, Wax Poetics are a kind of anthology of stories and anecdotes. Hip Hop rhythms mix with jazz, reggae grooves and lounge music. (FFJM © 2004)
