Nihou,
we just got back from China and had a wonderful time there.
We've posted some of our pictures of the China tour on Picasaweb TRJ
and wrote some impressions on
TRJ Blog
Check it out!
Best wish,
The Rhythm Junks

The Rhythm Junks aim for gold in the 3000-kilometres.

Half September - during the Paralympics - the Belgian band The Rhythm Junks is leaving for a three week tour to China. On the 20th of September they will play at the JZ Festival, one of the main jazz festivals in China. On this festival they share the bill with Chinese bands as well as international artists like Incognito (UK), Eugene Hideaway Bridges (USA) and Gilles Peterson (UK). After Shanghai they will head for a.o. Hangzhou, Changsha and Guangzhou, all together about 3000 kilometres.

When the programmer of the famous JZ Club in Shanghai travelled to London to scout Sonny Rollins for the JZ Festival, he accidentally bumped into the latest Rhythm Junks album. Eventually it wasn't Sonny Rollins who got invited, but The Rhythm Junks. This year the third edition of the JZ Festival will take place and up to 20.000 visitors are expected.

For those who’ve missed out on our Lux XL passage, you can still see it on the Lux XL site. Cheers!
