Ep. 34 Rebecca Vasmant

Bside Ep. 34 Rebecca Vasmant It’s always a pleasure to invite our favourite local musicians to the Bside turntables. Stepping up this time to record an episode live at Radio Buena Vida is the incredible DJ and jazz musician: Rebecca Vasmant. Watch the live recording here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_u8YVx_-Yk&t=147s In a dance music scene dominated by digital sounds and programming, Rebecca provides a refreshing dose of jazz infusion, acoustic instruments, and a diverse knowledge of music. With live events and record fairs, she has certainly made a name for herself in her hometown of Glasgow, but her musical pursuits go beyond spinning and collecting records, and her reputation exceeds Glasgow. As a musician and composer she has had a six month tour with eight-strong Ghanaian outfit Kakatsitsi, events at Worldwide Festival Sete, Glasgow Jazz Festival, EFG London Jazz Festival, Jazz Cafe London, Kasheme Zurich, Brilliant Corners, Casper Montenegro, the Baltic Soul Weekender, and an exciting new residency at Ronnie Scott's as part of the 'Panro' collective. We can’t get enough of her latest release “With Love, From Glasgow” a soothing jazzy dreamscape: https://rebeccavasmantartist.bandcamp.com/track/jewels-of-thought But for now let’s tuck into a masterclass of selections all under the wide spectrum of jazz, flowing from calming Brazilian vocals, hypnotic eastern horns & sitars, aggressively energetic trumpets, and everything inbetween. The truly incredible record collection of Rebecca Vasmant!
